    After weeks of build-up the ATCO PSA Dubai World Series Finals begins tomorrow with the 16 best squash players in the world bidding to take home the final title of the season.

    The event, held at Emirates Golf Club, sees the group stages kick off with an early battle, between reigning champion Laura Massaro and current world champion Raneem El Welily.

    Another women looking to take home the championship is world number five Camille Serme, who is eager to impress at the tournament having suffering a frustrating season.

    “It’s very exciting and I’m happy to go back to Dubai to play the World Series Finals,” said the 29-year-old. “It’s a new venue so that’s really exciting for the players. It feels special. I think everyone sees it as a bonus tournament after a long season.”

    The Frenchwomen was the top seed in Dubai last year after winning the U.S. Open and Tournament of Champions, however this season she insists she’s going to the UAE under no pressure.

    She added: “I’m really excited to be back and happy to be in the top eight, especially after being number one seed last season.”

    Serme will get her campaign underway in Dubai against world number eight Sarah-Jane Perry of England.
