We welcome back one of the biggest movers on the PSA Tour this season, Yahya Elnawasany. After joining us earlier in the season during our Nash Cup series, Yahya returns following a breakthrough second half of the year that has seen him climb to World No. 16 and make a sensational run to the semi-finals of the British Open.

We dive into Yahya’s incredible British Open campaign, where he battled through a brutal draw featuring top players including Dimitri Steinmann, Mohamed ElShorbagy, Karim Abdel Gawad on his way to the final four. Yahya also shares the story of having his equipment stolen during competition, battling through adversity, and the mental side of navigating tough five-game matches under pressure.

We also look back at the early part of the season, where results weren’t quite clicking, including his appearance at the Nash Cup, and explore the turning points that helped shift his momentum.

A big part of that second-half surge came through a new coaching partnership with former world-class player Wael El Hindi, and we discuss how that collaboration helped elevate his game to another level.

A fantastic conversation with one of the rising stars on tour, reflecting on resilience, growth, and what comes next as he pushes deeper into the world’s elite.
