Victor Crouin & Farida Mohamed Named PSA Challenger Tour Players of the Month

France’s Victor Crouin and Egypt’s Farida Mohamed have been named the PSA Challenger Tour Players of the Month for June.

Crouin finished the season off in style as he picked up his 16th PSA title by winning the QSF 4 2022 Challenger 30 event in Qatar.

The Frenchman was the No.1 seed for the event and defeated Curtis Malik, Mazen Gamal & Ramit Tandon on his way to the final. He then overcame a tough challenge from Mexico’s Leonel Cardenas, winning in four games, taking the last two games 19-17, 12-10 to take home the title. This result earned Crouin his highest World Ranking to date as he now sits at World No.18.

Egypt’s Farida Mohamed was dealt a tough draw in the El Gouna International as she came up against an in-form Nour El Tayeb. Mohamed bounced back however at her next event, the RM Club Women’s Open in Mauritius.

Mohamed beat Georgia Adderley and Marie Stephan in straight games to advance to the semi-final of the event. She then beat No.2 seed, Melissa Alves 3-1 to reach her first final since 2019. After a tough 51-minute battle with No.1 seed Tinne Gilis, Mohamed claimed the Challenger 30 title, winning 3-2.
