  • Wael El Hindi (born 25 June 1980 in Giza, Egypt) joined the pro tour in 1999, reached the singles no. 8 spot in 2008. He won 8 PSA World Tour titles including the US Open in 2010 and the prestigious Petrosport Open, a World Series Platinum event in Egypt, in 2008. He retired in January after competing a last time in the Tournament of Champions in New York.[3]
gollark: > apple products last longer than 5 years with good care
gollark: > Apple build quality
gollark: Well, they'll last a bit but become progressively less useful as the battery worsens.
gollark: Anyway! About what you said about charging outside. I don't have an issue with this since my phone does have a headphone jack, but portable power banks are a thing.
gollark: Yep.
