US Open squash champions Ali
Farag and Nour El Tayeb are the first husband and wife in sporting
history to win the same major singles title on the same day.
El Tayeb, 24, beat Raneem El Welily 3-2 in the women's final on Saturday.A few hours later, Farag, 25, beat Mohamed El Shorbagy 3-0 in the men's final.They were the first major World Series titles for the Egyptian couple, who got married last year.
While this is the first time a married couple have won the same singles titles on the same day, there have been instances of other sporting couples winning titles together.
