Egypt’s Rowan Elaraby has withdrawn from the upcoming GillenMarkets British Open 2025 due to injury.
Elaraby suffered an injury at the recent PSA World Championships against Georgina Kennedy and hasn’t been able to recover in time for the British Open. Japan’s Satomi Watanabe replaces Rowan Elaraby as a top eight seed and now receives a bye through to round two.
England No.2 Jasmine Hutton has moved to a 9/16 seed and will receive a bye in round one before facing top seed Nouran Gohar in the second round.
Egypt’s Salma Eltayeb replaces Hutton and plays compatriot Nour Aboulmakarim in round one whilst Wales’ Emily Whitlock replaces Eltayeb and plays Melissa Alves in the opening round.
