Asal Becomes Youngest U.S. Open Champion; Gohar Claims Back-to-Back Titles Egypt’s Mostafa Asal became the youngest champion at twenty years old while Nouran Gohar became just the second back-to-back women’s champion at the U.S. Open Squash Championships presented by Truist Wednesday, October 6, at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia. As she did in the 2019 final, Gohar pulled off a dramatic comeback from a game down and 9-4 in the second to win in four games against three seed Hania El Hammamy, joining Nicol David as the only women's champion to win back-to-back titles. Asal takes Gohar's mantle as the youngest U.S. Open champion, mounting his own comeback from 2-0 down and saving a championship ball in the fourth game against Tarek Momen to win his first Platinum title in five games. The forty-eighth U.S. Open celebrated the first staging of the event in the Arlen Specter US Squash Center, which officially opened on Saturday, October 2, as well as a decade of partnership with Drexel University since the first edition of the tournament in Philadelphia in 2011.
