Today on Between the Lines - In this episode, we sit down with Nada Abbas, one of Egypt’s brightest talents in professional squash. At just 25, Nada has already reached a career-high world ranking of 12, currently sits at 13, and has captured four professional titles. Her promise was evident early on, with a 4th-place finish at the Under-19 British Junior Open.

But Nada’s path to the top hasn’t been without adversity. In 2022, her career was put on hold when she faced a doping accusation — a moment that tested her resilience far beyond the court. In this powerful conversation, Nada opens up about the mental and emotional battle that followed, the challenges she endured, and how she found strength and positivity during one of the most difficult periods of her life as an athlete.

This is a story of perseverance, mindset, and the human side of elite sport — we thank Nada for her honesty and this is one you won’t want to miss.
