Zahed Salem (born June 24, 1992, in Alexandria), formerly known as Zahed Mohamed, is a professional squash player who represented Egypt.
Mohamed has enjoyed a meteoric rise up the World Rankings in recent years and has performed consistently well since he joined the PSA World Tour as a 17-year-old.
He lifted his first PSA World Tour title in 2011 at the Al Hassan Squash Open where he bested Qualifier Mazen Hesham in a comfortable 3โ0 final rout.
He doubled his title tally a year later when he won the Royal Jordanian Squash Open, against the local player Ahmad Al-Saraj being the unlucky party this time round.
It was then Zahed's turn to be unlucky as a number of runner-up finishes followed over the next two years with a 3โ2 defeat to Ali Farag in the 2015 Alexandria Open finale, particularly being a close match.[1][2]
