The Cairo-based pair, married last year, formed part of an Egyptian quartet who completed a clean sweep on semi-finals day at Philadelphia's Drexel University.

Just over a year since their wedding day the pair produced similar performances to defeat their last four opposition.

El Tayeb defeated England's Laura Massaro in a repeat of the 2015 US Open final, which the Egyptian lost 3-2, and claimed a comfortable 11-6, 12-10, 9-11, 11-3 win.

"I’m very pleased with my performance," said 24-year-old El Tayeb.

"Laura and I played a few years ago in the final here and I was so nervous that time - so today I was telling myself that it’s just a regular match and to go out there and enjoy it, which I did.

"She doesn’t give up and she keeps going - she takes advantage of any loss of concentration from any of her opponents.

"That’s something I learned from her and it’s unbelievable to beat her in such an occasion."

She is now due to go up against 2012 US Open runner-up Raneem El Welily, the current world number three.

El Welily halted the charge of New Zealand's Joelle King by winning 11-8, 6-11, 11-6, 11-6.

In the men's competition, Farag overcame fellow Egyptian Omar Mosaad to reach the final.

The 11-6, 14-12, 11-6 win secured Farag's place in a World Series final for the first time in his career.

He is now scheduled to play defending champion Mohamed Elshorbagy.

The Egyptian brushed aside England's Nick Matthew 13-11, 11-6, 11-8 in a repeat of last year's final.

"Every single point was very important today," said Elshorbagy.

"The level of squash we have played so far, I think we are playing even better than last year but sometimes it’s the luck of the draw and we both had to deal with it as professionals."
