World Open finalist and semi-finalist in two of the past three World Opens just goes to show that Marwan El Shorbagy is on the cusp of taking his game to the highest level of all. He's reached #3 in the world, and now he's back to near his best form after going through a very difficult period in his career. Marwan looks back at his 2011/12 years where he parlayed a World Junior Championship into immediate professional success. What's it like to play your brother on the biggest stage in squash's most prestigious events? Marwan lays it out and he takes us into the unfounded doping allegations that derailed his squash in 2018 for several months. We also chop it up on how 2019/20 saw him bounce back in a major way, and he also pays tribute to Raneem El Weleily.
