Doha: The draws for the first Platinum event of the 2025/26 PSA Squash Tour season have been released, with World No.1s Mostafa Asal and Nouran Gohar named as the top seeds for the QTerminals Qatar Classic 2025.

Returning to the PSA calendar for its 22nd edition, the QTerminals Qatar Classic will see 64 of the world’s leading squash players descend upon the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in Doha from September 28 to October 4.

Current World Champion Asal leads the men’s field and will arrive targeting a first Qatar Classic title of his career. Last year, ‘The Raging Bull’ enjoyed a standout season, which yielded seven title successes and just six defeats from his 60 matches on the PSA Squash Tour.

At the other end of the draw, World No.2 Diego Elias has been named as the No.2 seed and will return to defend the trophy he captured in stunning fashion 12 months ago.

Last year, the 28-year-old defeated then-World No.1 Ali Farag and Asal in straight games each to lift the title, whilst also having won the event back in 2021.
