Zahed Salem (born 24 June 1992), formerly known as Zahed Mohamed, is a professional squash player who represented Egypt. He reached a career high ranking of 14 in the world during March 2019.[1]
Career
[edit]Mohamed enjoyed a meteoric rise up the World Rankings in recent years and has performed consistently well since he joined the PSA World Tour as a 17-year-old. He lifted his first PSA World Tour title in 2011 at the Al Hassan Squash Open where he bested Qualifier Mazen Hesham in a comfortable 3–0 final rout.
He doubled his title tally a year later when he won the Royal Jordanian Squash Open, against the local player Ahmad Al-Saraj being the unlucky party this time round.
It was then Zahed's turn to be unlucky as a number of runner-up finishes followed over the next two years with a 3–2 defeat to Ali Farag in the 2015 Alexandria Open finale, particularly being a close match.[2][3]
In October 2024, Salem won his 7th PSA title after securing victory in the Wakefield Open during the 2024–25 PSA Squash Tour.[4]
