Mohamed is set to compete in his third World Championship final after beating world number one Gregory Gaultier of France 12-10, 11-4, 11-9.

He will be looking to make amends for defeats to Ramy Ashour in both the 2012 and 2014 finals as he aims to capture the only major title missing from his trophy cabinet.

"He [Gaultier] is 34-years-old and I'm 26-years old and that’s the 22nd time we have played on Tour, so I think that shows how great of a player he is because I hope at his age I can play even half as well as the way he is playing," Elshorbagy, who has now reached seven PSA World Tour finals in a row, said.

"We always play tough matches together and the first game was very crucial."

Marwan, meanwhile, will appear in his maiden World Championship final after he came through a gruelling five-game encounter with world number three and compatriot Ali Farag 11-8, 4-11, 9-11, 11-7, 11-9.

The brothers will meet for the 11th time on the PSA World Tour with Mohamed having won eight of their previous clashes.

They will be the first siblings to compete in a PSA World Championship final since the Australian Grinham sisters, Rachael and Natalie, who reached the 2007 women’s final.

"It feels amazing," Marwan said.

"This is for our family.

"Two brothers in a final - I don’t think it has ever been done before.

"We’re so close to each other and it is a dream for both of us and these are the kind of things you visualise when you are young.

"It’s a dream come true."

The women’s final will be between world number one Nour El Sherbini and fellow Egyptian Raneem El Welily in a repeat of April’s World Championship title-decider in El Gouna in Egypt.

El Sherbini, who became the youngest female world champion of all time in 2015, got the better of El Welily eight months ago and will e btargeting a third successive global crown.

She reached the final by beating compatriot Nour El Tayeb, who is married to Farag, 11-2, 8-11, 10-12, 11-5, 11-0.

"I've never had a match like that in the last game - it’s weird," El Sherbini said after denying El Tayeb a single point in the decider.

"I just tried to take the lead.

"I didn’t know what she was going to do."

El Welily had an easier time of things against world number three Camille Serme as she dominated her French opponent to take an 11-7, 11-9, 11-7 win in 39 minutes.

"El Sherbini is such an exciting player to watch," El Welily, who also fell to a defeat in the 2014 final against Malaysia’s Nicol David, said.

"She’s very skilful with the racket and you never know what she’s going to hit next.

"These are great times for Egyptian squash."

Defeat for Serme sent her crashing out at the last-four stage for the second time in a row.

Both finals are scheduled to take place tomorrow with the men's following on from the women's.

For the first time in history, the women's prize money is equal to the men's with $45,000 (£34,000/€38,000) being awarded to each of the winners.
