Digital Drive: Gohar Becomes First Four-Time U.S. Open Champion; Farag Earns Third Title

Gohar Becomes First Four-Time U.S. Open Champion;

Nouran Gohar made history at the 2024 Comcast Business U.S. Open Squash Championships, becoming the first four-time champion in the tournament's sixty-year history while world No. 1 Ali Farag joined an elite club of three-time U.S. Open champions Saturday, October 26, at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center in Philadelphia.

Gohar's record at the U.S. Open is nothing short of astonishing. With the exception of missing the 2023 tournament due to injury, Gohar has won twenty consecutive matches in Philadelphia spanning back to the first round of the 2019 U.S. Open. With her fourth U.S. Open title, Gohar surpasses the venerable club of three-time champions including Nicol David, Mohamed ElShorbagy, Gregory Gaultier, Hashim Khan and Jansher Khan.

Farag joined the illustrious club of three-time champions and keeps hopes of matching Gohar's record in years to come. In contrast to his 2022 final against Peru's world champion Diego Elias that saw him concede the match after two points due to injury, Farag was in total control of the 2024 final that saw him triumph in three games.

The 2024 U.S. Open welcomed Comcast Business as title sponsor for the first year and marked the fourth edition of the tournament held at the Arlen Specter US Squash Center.
