    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

  • The Data Highlighting Squash's True Physical Demands (C) PSA World Tour, March 2018
    Fitter And Faster Than Ever - The Data Highlighting Squash's True Physical Demands (c) PSA World Tour, March 2018. When Tarek Momen walked off court following his first round victory over Mathieu Castagnet at the 2018 Swedish Open, following a tournament-record 97-minute match, he had covered almost 5km, struck the ball almost 1000 times and covered 48 meters on average during each point played. He’d spent over 60 per cent of that match – equating to over 60 minutes – in play. Not resting between points or between games. No, that 60 minutes was spent engaged in a high quality battle of squash with his nemesis that day, Mathieu Castagnet, with the duo pushing each other into all four corners in a brilliant match. 5 kilometers. That’s over 500 court sprints back-to-back. Made up of movements that generally consist of three-six meter sprints, of which almost 50 per cent is backwards, followed by a lunge or dynamic movement to set up for a shot – before exploding back to the T in anticipation of the next shot to come. To put the figures into perspective, during the 2017 Wimbledon Championships, the longest match was recorded when Gilles Muller caused a five-set upset over Rafael Nadal in a marathon 288 minutes. In that match, with Nadal pushed around the court and out-working his opponent, data recorded by IBM SlamTracker showed Nadal covering 3,645.1 meters during the course of 389 points – an average of 9.4 meters per point. In comparison, Momen covered a total of 4,965.5 meters during the course of 100 contested points – an average of 48 meters per point.
