Marwan El Shorbagy, (born July 30, 1993 in Alexandria) is a professional squash player who represents Egypt. He reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 12 in April 2015. He won the World Juniors in 2011 & 2012 and became the third player in the history to win the World Junior twice.
Marwan was born and raised in the Egyptian city of Alexandria. He started playing squash at age of eight. Marwan El Shorbagy joined the PSA in 2010 as a 17-year-old. Raised in Alexandria, but then a student at Millfield School in England (where he was coached by Jonah Barrington and Ian Thomas), El Shorbagy is the latest Egyptian to shake up the world of squash. He is the younger brother of Mohamed El Shorbagy who also plays on the PSA tour and was a former World No. 1.
Despite now combining his squash career with that of a student at University in the UK, 19-year-old El Shorbagy celebrated his world top thirty debut in July. In July 2012 he won his second successive World Junior Open title – to become only the third man in history to win the world junior title for a second time, also he is the first player in the history to win 2 individuals and 2 teams World titles.
"I had never thought growing up that I would win a U19 British Open Junior title, or a World Junior title. And here I am. With two of each. And I feel so honoured that I can add my name to the two prestigious ones that have 2 world junior titles, Ramy and my brother. It’s such an honour."
But it was in July 2011 that the youngster made his first major impact on the senior stage. After winning his first ever World Junior title in Herentals the 17-year-old After qualifying he beat World Number 28 Aamir Atlas Khan in the quarter finals of an international 25 event in Cairo, he then went to beat World Number 14 Omar Mosaad in the semis after a marathon match and then finally being stopped by another Egyptian Mohd Ali Anwar Reda losing 17-15 in the 5th.
