World Series Finals - women’s lineup confirmed

The line-up for the Women’s Dubai PSA World Series Finals has been confirmed.

Egyptian Nour El Sherbini sealed the last title of the season, the prestigious Allam British Open, to move ahead of England’s Laura Massaro and top the 2015/16 Road To Dubai Standings.

El Sherbini has been in supreme form throughout the season, adding the British Open title to the Tournament of Champions crown she won in January to go along with runner-up finishes at the Qatar Classic and Windy City Open to pip Massaro, who also claimed two titles - the U.S. Open and Qatar Classic - to top spot.

Eight-time World Champion and two-time World Series Finals winner Nicol David occupies third place in the standings while 18-year-old World Junior Champion Nouran Gohar confirmed her place in the top eight for the first time ever after reaching the British Open final.

Top ranked Frenchwoman Camille Serme, former World No.1 Raneem El Welily and former World Chamms runner-up Omneya Abdel Kawy are also in the eight while the final berth is occupied by top ranked American Amanda Sobhy - who will become the first American woman ever to compete at the World Series Finals.

The Dubai PSA World Series Finals takes place in Dubai from May 24-28 when the top eight players will come together in two groups of four, with players playing a round-robin best-of-three series for a place in the knockout semi-finals and beyond for a chance to win the lucrative title.
