It’s been a long road to get here since rupturing my other Achilles on Dec 3rd, 2023, but I’m proud to say that I AM BACK!! 💪🏽🤩😮💨 I can’t wait to make my return to tour debut on Saturday August 31st at the Egyptian Open! Thank you to everyone who has helped me to get back! 🩷🙏🏽
Welcome to the sequel of my Achilles rupture comeback 🤜🏽🤛🏽 Crushed the first comeback with my left, so life decided to throw me a curveball & let me go through it on the right. I’ll make sure the sequel will be better than the first 💪🏽💪🏽
#RoadToRecovery
What a fantastic week!! I loved every second I was on court even tho my body hurts right now & I’m massively sleep deprived💀 What a great start to 2021!! Thank you to everyone who supported me this week. I am so grateful for all the love💕 This is only the beginning... 🙌🏽🙏🏽🔥💪🏽
4 years ago today I got surgery to repair my ruptured Achilles... now I’m through to my first Platinum final since my injury. We love a good comeback story! 💪🏽💪🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

YOU GUYS!! I just got the green light by my surgeon to “GET AFTER IT”!!!🤩🤩 Officially released by my surgeon to get back to all activities freely!! 🙏🏽🥹 6months of showing up & putting in the work day in & day out! I told you I was gunna do this Rehab better & I’m doing it!💪🏽
As a squash fan, watching the match between Shorbagy vs Diego just now was simply unreal… especially that 5th game. Wow! I’m speechless after watching that pace & intensity. Shame someone had to lose this match, but that was some high quality squash! 👏🏽👏🏽🤩🤩
Maybe all he wanted to do was hold Mazen’s hand because he hasn’t seen him in two months due to being banned🤷🏽♀️🙃😂 In all seriousness tho, will this warrant another ban?? He’s literally caught red handed & the commentators even break it down for us so he can’t hide from this😬🫠
4 days post op & I’m already taking my first steps! 🤩🤩 Crazy to see the difference in recovery protocol & process this time around vs my left! I’m extremely slow & I barely can put any weight on my right leg, but wow, what a WIN! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
@HSpecialSurgery
Wow....watching

was simply incredible. The outfits, the dancing, the singing, & the emotions made for an amazing experience. What a great impulse purchase & belated bday gift to myself!🙌🏽😁
#JLOItsMyParty
The amount of support I have received since Sunday has been truly incredible. I feel the love from all over the world & I cannot thank you all enough🙏🏽🥹🩷Knowing how many people are invested in my comeback is motivating me more than ever to get back competing for you all! (1/2)
In other news, my mom texted me after my match saying that she watched my match vs Raneem on Facebook Live... except it was my match from Holland 2 weeks ago & not tonight. She didn’t realize until the 5th game (from DPD match) that it wasn’t the same match 😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈
#FAIL
Obviously I don’t like to lose, but when I think back to where I was a year ago, or even when I first got back on tour 3 months ago, I’m pretty damn proud of myself. It’s only going to get better💪🏽💪🏽
I tell this to every parent I meet who is utterly baffled at the fact that I was a multi sport athlete growing up & didn’t pick up squash until I was 11. Let your kids play sports.... a lot of them!! Thank you
@rogerfederer
for saying this! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I can’t believe 10 months ago today, I ruptured my Achilles in Colombia. Now, I’m gearing up to play in my first

@PSAWorldTour
for making me feel as safe as possible throughout the tourny. The protocols &rules were very strict which made the bubble extremely safe &secure. My health & well-being is top priority so thank you!!🙏🏽
#appreciation
I dont know about you guys but as a squash fan, I feel like this week produced some high quality squash… especially on the men’s side. A lot of intensely entertaining, yet free flowing squash in many of the men’s matches which was really refreshing to see🤌🏽 Good week overall!👏🏽
Hats off to everyone this past week for putting on a phenomenal tournament! By far one of the best venues to compete in and the whole production of the tournament was top notch from the crowd to the venue to how it was run… it truly was a performance👏🏽Can’t wait for next year!🤩
When the ball accidentally hits you mid rally but you act as if nothing happened… Now I understand why my cross never actually ended up as a cross🧐🧐🤨🤨👍🏽👍🏽
This pic says it all💗 Super happy for Liv getting to the quarters of her first Platinum even if that meant knocking me out. Gave everything I had left in the tank last night, but just came up short. Super proud of myself & what I’ve achieved this past year. Time to rest🙏🏽

Japan has won Gold medals in both men & women’s skateboarding & now won the Gold medal in softball… all new sports added this year. If the host country has any say in what sports get added into the Games, then I totall understand how these two sports got chosen over squash🤷🏽♀️
Jokes aside, this week was an absolute blast! First World Champs semis for me& back playing in front of a home crowd. I loved every second of this week& I can’t thank you all enough for the support I’ve received! My run has ended here in Chicago, but I’m excited for the future!💪🏽
I dont know who is more fired up after tonight’s win… me or my Dad 😂😂😂 Regardless, this is some SEMIFINAL energy!!! Let’s Gooooo!!!

One day I’ll get The Rock to play squash with me... until then, I’m going to accept this every growing friendship that’s forming between us on Twitter 😂😂😂🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I posted this on my IG story today, but felt the need to share it on here because of the story & message. Moral of the story: NO MATTER HOW TOUGH LIFE IS, KEEP SHOWING UP! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Side note: Absolutely LOVED the vocal crowd last night & all the fans cheering… especially loved the one fan who yelled out “C’mon Manders” in a very thick American accent😂Haven’t been called Manders since freshman year in College! Made me smile&take a sec to enjoy the moment😁
Always nice to end the season getting absolutely slaughtered by
