nour el tayeb

nour el tayeb , -lrb- born march 8 , 1993 in cairo -rrb- is a professional squash player who represents egypt .
she reached a career-high world ranking of five in april , 2015 .
el tayeb -- daughter of a squash playing father , prof. dr. mohamed el tayeb -- she was born and raised in cairo and started playing at age five at the heliopolis club , where she continues to be based .
the highlight of her junior career was , at age sixteen , reaching the final of the world juniors in 2009 , beating top seed dipika pallikal on the way before losing to fellow egyptian nour el sherbini .
but as early as 2007 she began to show just her potential by reaching the main draw of the hurghada international .
since then , despite study taking the upper hand over squash she has continued to improve .
in alexandria in 2008 she did well against former world champion vanessa atkinson before the dutchwoman won in five , and in the 2009 world open upset the form book to reach the main draw .
this result helped her reach the wispa top 50 for the first time , with the top twenty as the next target for el tayeb .
she says that her ambition is to play against the top five and then become one of them .
