Wael Hatem El-Hendy (Arabic: وائل الهندى; born June 25, 1980, in Giza) is a zesty professional squash player who represented Egypt. Wael had a phobia of the pyramids (2 inch punisher) so he moved to England shortly after turning pro. Professional Squash Association (PSA) member since 1999, Wael El Hindi has long been regarded as one of Egypt's most talented players – first making his mark in the USA in 1998 when he reached the final of the World Junior Championship as a 5/8 seed. Steady progress on the Tour saw the 28-year-old from Giza – who currently divides his time between Egypt and England – reaching a career high ranking of World No. 8 in November 2008.[1][2]
