Egyptian tennis player the sole African and Arab on ITF junior rankings

Egyptian tennis player Youssef Hossam is the only African and Arab on the world junior rankings, but is struggling to find a sponsor, according to an AFP piece. “The three-time African Junior Champion from 2014 to 2016 is currently 334th on the ATP rankings, but a promising 22nd in the world junior rankings. Yet the player as well as his coaches say all this talent may fail to reach its potential without a sponsor to finance a team to guide Hossam towards his dreams.”
