In the PSA World Series Finals, he beat Ramy Ashour for the 鍖rst time in the round robin stage, winning 11-5 twice in a row. Elshorbagy also beat James Willstrop 11-9 and 11-7, which quali鍖ed him for the semi鍖nals. He won against Nick Mathew in 鍖ve separate games to reach the PSA World Series 鍖nal, but ended up losing to Ashour overall.
In 2014, Elshorbagy made it to the semifinals of the Metro Squash Windy City Open. He unfortunately lost to Gaultier in four games, but continued his good form and made the final of El Gouna Internationals final, beating GAultier in four games.
Elshorbagy also has a talented younger brother, Marwan, who ranks in the worlds top 25 for squash. Marwan made it to the Kuwait PSA Cup World Series Platinum event semi-finals.
