Cairo-born Nadine Shahin looks set for a long and prosperous career after making great strides up the World Rankings over the last few years.
The youngster had a stunning 2014, winning five Tour titles to cement her position as one to watch in the coming years. Her first title was at the Geneva Open in March of that year where she romped to the title despite starting the event as an unseeded competitor.
The Egyptian then won four out of the next five events that she appeared at and was rewarded with a place in the world's top 40 for the first time in January 2015. She racked up four consecutive quarter-final finishes at higher-ranked events to ensure that her progress on the PSA World Tour continued apace.
Shahin’s game continued to go from strength-to-strength as she broke into the world’s top 30 for the first time in February 2017 after a handful of quarter and semi-final finishes. She then won two of her first three tournaments in 2018. She won the Edinburgh Sports Club Open, beating Julianne Courtice in the final, before she then defeated Misaki Kobayashi in the final of the Winnipeg Winter Club Women’s Open.
The Egyptian then went on to reach the semi finals of the Queen City Open later in the year, as well as reaching the last four of the Nash Cup. Her final tournament of the calendar year saw her reach the final of the Pakistan Open, where she was beaten by Yathreb Adel.
Shahin went on to reach the quarter finals in three of hr first four tournaments in 2019. She did so at the Bahl and Gaynor Cincinnati Cup, J Warren Young Memorial Texas Open and the Macau Open, before then reaching the last 16 of the El Gouna International.
