Tarek Momen achieved his biggest tour success when he clinched the World Championship title in 2019 after defeating Paul Coll of New Zealand in straight games. In fact, he also reached another World Championship final earlier that year for the 2018/19 season but missed the title following a four-game defeat by Ali Farag. Momen first ensured he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electronic engineering from the American University of Cairo before fully committing himself to the sport. He started the 2022-2023 season with a semi-final appearance at the Qatar Classic, also making the last eight at four other tournaments in that time, including at the Egyptian Open and the U.S. Open. Momen’s incredible run of making at least the quarter-finals of every tournament he featured in, which dated back to September 2019, came to an end after more than 40 months, when he lost out in the last 16 at the Pittsburgh Open in early 2023. At the end of the 2023/24 season, he reached the quarter-finals of the World Championships where he lost to Ali Farag and was in the semi-finals of the World Tour Finals where he was sent home by Mostafa Asal. He started the new season with three major events’ last eight positions, including the Egyptian Open, Paris Squash and Qatar Classic.
