Career
Alexandria-born Raneem El Welily has emerged as one of the most skillful players on the PSA Women's World Tour since she turned professional in 2002. Two years later when the event was played in Cairo she was part of the Egyptian winning squad, and in 2004 she represented the senior team that came fourth in the World Teams in Amsterdam. She lifted the World Junior Championship twice, in 2005 and 2007
David got her revenge in the United States Open a month later before the Egyptian stunned the Malaysian again in the 2013 Cleveland Classic final to lift another crown.
She reached the final of the World Championship in December 2014 but David proved to be a stumbling block once more as she denied El Welily squash"s biggest crown.
In May 2015 she was named as the PSA Women"s Player of the year for the 2014/15 season. In September 2015, Raneem surpassed David to clinch the World Number.1 ranking in the PSA Women"s World Ranking.
Raneem graduated from the German School in Alexandria and between training sessions she also finds time to indulge her interests of music, jigsaw puzzles (which she buys from all over the world) and has recently become a sudoku addict. Finals: 1 (0 title, 1 runner-up)
Hong Kong Open: 2 finals (0 title, 2 runner-up)
Malaysian Open: 3 finals (2 titles, 1 runner-up).
