    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.

    What to look for in Today’s Matches Thursday THE ER January 9, 2020 Noon: Nicolas Müller (Switzerland, age 30, rank 29) vs. Youssef Soliman (Egypt, age 22, rank 37) The Swiss veteran has played some of the best squash of his career in Grand Central, including a 2018 quarterfinal run and five straight second round appearances. Soliman’s agility could cause him problems, however, as indicated in their only previous PSA encounter—a narrow fifty-minute Müller victory in Hong Kong last September. 12:45: Lucas Serme (France, age 27, rank 35) vs. Abdullah Al Tamimi (Qatar, age 25, rank 39) The pacy and skillful Al Tamimi played the best squash of his career during November’s PSA World Championship in his native Qatar where he reached the third round, and he will hope to continue that form. This will be his first career match up against the industrious Frenchman, who reached the ToC second round for the first time last year. 2:30: Arturo Salazar (Mexico, age 32, rank 43) vs. Mathieu Castagnet (France, age 33, rank 25) 2020 TOC APPAREL Castagnet, a top-ten player in 2016, won his only previous encounter against the Salazar twin, but it took him more than an ON SALE AT THE TOC hour.

Nella notte italiana sono infatti andate in scena le prime quattro sfide del terzo turno, in attesa delle altre quattro partite che si giocheranno questa notte ed andranno a definire il programma dei quarti di finale. La sorpresa principale è arrivata in campo femminile, dove l’atleta di Hong Kong Annie Au ha sconfitto con un netto 3-0 l’inglese Laura Massaro, campionessa iridata nel 2013 e n.7 del tabellone. L’atleta asiatica si è imposta grazie al proprio gioco fatto di pallonetti e smorzate e affronterà nei quarti di finale l’egiziana Nour El Tayeb, a sua volta vincitrice sulla francese Melissa Alves. La campionessa in carica Raneem El Welily e la connazionale Nouran Gohar daranno invece vita ad una sfida interamente egiziana dopo aver avuto la meglio sulle inglesi Alison Waters e Victoria Lust. Egitto grande protagonista anche al maschile, con tre atleti qualificati ai quarti di finale nelle prime quattro partite andate in scena. Mohamed ElShorbagy proseguirà la propria difesa del titolo dopo aver avuto la meglio sul giocatore di Hong Kong Leo Au in un incontro senza storia. Nel prossimo turno il campione in carica affronterà il colombiano Miguel Rodriguez, protagonista insieme all’inglese James Willstrop della partita più combattuta della giornata, terminata sul punteggio di 3-2 dopo 105 minuti di gioco intenso e appassionante.
