Asal Withdraws from PSA World Championships
Egypt’s World No.9 Mostafa Asal has been forced to withdraw from the upcoming 2020-21 PSA World Championships presented by the Walter Family due to visa issues, which will take place in Chicago between July 14-22.
Asal’s withdrawal means that England’s former World No.1 James Willstrop replaces him in the draw and will face Egypt’s Youssef Ibrahim in round one.
Meanwhile, Malaysia’s Mohammad Syafiq Kamal comes into the draw and will face Spain’s Borja Golan in round one.
