News
United States No.1 Amanda Sobhy advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2020-21 PSA World Championships presented by The Walter Family on home soil as she overcame Canada’s Hollie Naughton at the University Club of Chicago earlier today.
World No.7 Sobhy – from Boston – will line up in the quarter-finals of squash’s biggest tournament for the second time – and the first time since the 2015 edition – following an 11-5, 11-8, 8-11, 11-5 victory over close friend and World No.19 Naughton.
“Hollie has been getting some good results, and I don’t think we have played on the PSA Tour, so I knew that this would be a battle,” Sobhy said.
