The younger brother of Mohamed Elshorbagy, Marwan is one of only four players to win the junior World Championships twice and has built on his initial promise on the world tour. He started 2021 in the perfect way, claiming the Black Ball Open title in his first appearance of the year. Through the rest of the year, ‘the Jackal’ continued to make it to the latter stages of bigger tournaments, including the last eight at the World Championship, Allam British Open and CIB Egyptian Open, along with making the semi-finals of the Black Ball Open in December. He followed that with a last eight result at the Houston Open, the first event of 2022. ElShorbagy then made four finals in the latter part of 2022, winning the Hong Kong Football Club Open crown in his last appearance of the year. He also made the semis of the U.S. Open in Philadelphia, along with quarter final appearances in the Egyptian Open, Malaysian Open and the Hong Kong Open. ElShorbagy then made back-to-back finals, doing so at the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions and the Pittsburgh Open, losing out to Diego Elias on both occasions. He then only made the quarter finals of two more events in the first half of 2023, reaching the last eight at the Black Ball Squash Open and the British Open.
