The 2019/20 PSA Men’s World Championships are set to begin on Friday the 8th November at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex, and will run until the 15th of November.
With a total prize-money of $335,000, the event will feature 63 players from 24 countries, including the 55 highest ranked players and eight wild card entrants.
Defending champion and World No.1 Ali Farag was set to lead the array of world class players, which includes two other former world champions – 2017 champion Mohamed El Shorbagy and 2016 winner Karim Abdel Gawad, however Farag was forced to pull out of the championship after sadly suffering a family bereavement.
