Now a consistent member of the world’s top ten, Hesham is well-known for his flair and his racket skills. He reached the last eight at the Egyptian Open to start off his 2020-2021 season after the enforced break due to COVID-19 and reached a maiden gold level final the following season in 2022. He featured in the season-ending World Tour Finals for the first time at the end of the 2021-2022 campaign. He started the new season with a quarter-finals appearance at the Egyptian Open before making the last four at the Oracle NetSuite Open in San Francisco. Hesham secured the biggest win of his career to date later that year, with a win at the Malaysian Open, coming from behind to beat Tarek Momen in the final. Hesham’s great consistency continued through the second half of the 2022-2023 season, reaching at least the quarter-finals of every tournament he played in. That run included making the Motor City Open final and then reaching the semis of both the Optasia Championships and the British Open. In 2024, he reached the quarter-finals in both the World Championships and the following British Open where he was defeated by Mostafa Asal and Ali Farag respectively. He started the new season in September, also with two last eight places in both the Egyptian Open and Paris Squash.
