Mostafa Asal and Rowan Reda Araby were crowned winners of the men’s and women’s events at the World Junior Individual Squash Championships in Chennai.

Egyptian success was assured at the Indian city's Express Avenue Mall, with the African nation boasting all four finalists.

Top seed Marwan Tarek was hoping to retain his men’s junior title, but struggled in the opening stages as Asal won the opener 11-7.

A key second game saw both players prove equally matched, but Asal eventually triumphed 13-11 to move one game away from victory.

With the momentum gained from winning the tight second game, Asal was able to progress to seal a dominant 11-7, 13-11, 11-4 triumph.

While Tarek was unable to defend his title, top seed Reda Araby retained her women’s junior title.

She claimed the opening games 11-4, 11-9 against Hania El Hammamy, the tournament second seed.

El Hammamy won the third game 12-10 to threaten a comeback.

Her hopes were ended when Reda Araby clinched the fourth game 11-9 to secure the title.

A total of 171 players from 28 countries participated at the World Junior Individual Squash Championships.

The event took place prior to the biennial Men's World Junior Team Championship, which are due to begin tomorrow.
