What to look for in Today’s Matches Tuesday THE ER January 14, 2020 12:00: [8] Sarah-Jane Perry (England, age 29, rank 8) vs. Sabrina Sobhy (USA, age 23, rank 39) The American is the lowest-ranked player left in the tournament and brimming with confidence after two top- twenty upsets to reach her first career ToC third round. Sobhy will need her shot-making to translate on the glass court after two matches on traditional courts to have a chance at her first career top ten upset against the imposing Englishwoman. 12:45: [4] Nour El Tayeb (Egypt, age 26, rank 4) vs. [14] Salma Hany (Egypt, age 23, rank 14) Hany has enjoyed success in Grand Central in the past, upsetting Laura Massaro last year to reach what was her only Platinum quarterfinal appearance to date. El Tayeb, a 2018 ToC finalist and 2019 semifinalist, will be favored with a 5-0 head-to-head record and two decisive 3-0 victories against her younger compatriot in 2019. 2:00: [6] Joelle King (New Zealand, age 31, rank 6) vs. [12] Joshna Chinappa (India, age 33, rank 12) 2020 TOC APPAREL Both players enjoyed a smooth start to the tournament with 3-0 second round wins, and will be up for the fight. While King holds an 8-3 head-to-head lead, Chinappa has won two of their last three encounters since 2018— ON SALE AT THE TOC including a best-of-three upset during September’s Oracle NetSuite Open. King will look to avenge that loss to PRO SHOP reach her second straight ToC quarterfinals. ¼ Zip Pullover $69 2:45: [2] Nour El Sherbini (Egypt, age 24, rank 2) vs. Olivia Blatchford Clyne (USA, age 26, rank 17) Commemorative T $29 A rematch of the 2019 ToC third round, the world champion understandably enters this match as the heavy GCT Clock T-Shirt $29 favorite to extend her 6-0 record against the Wilton, Connecticut-native. Blatchford Clyne only spent one game ToC Cross® Pen $49 on the glass in the second round due to Tesni Evans’ injury. She looked sharp in that game and will need to Commemorative Pin $10 replicate that pace to push El Sherbini as much as possible. Squash Books $20 5:00: [1] Raneem El Welily (Egypt, age 31, rank 1) vs. [5] Camille Serme (France, age 30, rank 5) Tuesday is the first of two quarterfinal days at the 2020 J.P. Morgan Tournament of Both El Weiliy, the 2015 champion, and Serme, the 2017 champion, have competed in every ToC since 2014, but WELCOME TO have never crossed paths in Grand Central until now. The world No. 1 has been on cruise control so far, unlike Champions with four semifinalists set to be determined during the last two Serme who overcame two difficult matches against young Egyptians. Serme will need to be in her best form to sessions. Only three quarterfinalists defied the seeding to reach the last eight so THE TOC have a chance of notching what would be just her fourth win in their twenty-first PSA match. far, but we’ve now reached the business end of the tournament where anything can happen. Both five seeds, Coll (left) and Serme (right), are the world’s highest Connecticut College 5:45: [4] Tarek Momen (Egypt, age 31, rank 3) vs. Mostafa Asal (Egypt, age 18, rank 21) ranked non-Egyptians and will attempt to stun the two Egyptian world No. 1’s. The eighteen-year-old has been the tournament’s surprise package so far by recording a top ten upset against CitySquash Mohamed Abouelghar and spoiling Gregory Gaultier’s comeback party. The world champion will be his biggest test so far, but based on his ambitious style of attacking squash this week, even the world’s best could be troubled by the starlet. Today’s Matches 7:30: [3] Nouran Gohar (Egypt, age 22, rank 3) vs. [13] Alison Waters (England, age 35, rank 13) Gohar reached the quarterfinals with two clinical performances and will be favored in her recent vein of form. Presented by Waters, the 2015 ToC finalist, did notch two wins over Gohar in 2018, but the Egyptian’s game has developed significantly in the past two years—so much that she is considered a top three title favorite. 12:00 PM SESSION 5:00 PM SESSION 8:15: [1] Ali Farag (Egypt, age 27, rank 1) vs. [5] Paul Coll (New Zealand, age 27, rank 5) [8] Sarah-Jane Perry (ENG) vs. Sabrina Sobhy (USA) [1] Raneem El Welily (EGY) vs. [5] Camille Serme (FRA) Last year, Farag tamed ‘Superman’ in three games and fifty-minutes during his title run in the quarterfinals. [4] Nour El Tayeb (EGY) vs. [14] Salma Hany (EGY) Mostafa Asal (EGY) vs. [4] Tarek Momen (EGY) Coll—then world No. 7—now sits at a career high world No. 5 as the highest-ranked non-Egyptian. After reaching the World Championship final in November, Coll could be on the verge of making a breakthrough 2:00 PM SESSION 7:30 PM SESSION against the world’s top four and winning his first Platinum title.

    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.

    OCTOBER 2015 / www.squashmagazine.com FEATURES N LOCKER ROOMS AND GALLERIES, DURING VAN RIDES AND POST-GAME CHATS, people talk about who does what in the game, about which celebrity is rumored to play, about which coach or player is more impact- ful on the game. For the second year in a row, Squash Magazine has finally put it down on paper. IIt wasn’t scientific. We had no algorithm. Caprice, whimsy and an eagle-eyed glance at the state of squash in America in 2015 provided the basis. We judged it, in order of importance, by in- triguing and then interesting and then finally influential. Like last year, we know you’ll have suggestions of people we missed and people we should have left out and comments on the rankings. Send them to: [email protected]. —THE EDITORS AMANDA SOBHY College was a good move for this Long Island native. She jumped from world No. 21 when she entered Harvard in 2011 to world No. 10 when she exited. The competition might not have been hard enough—she went 64-0, winning 192 games and losing just two—but the four years of college matured and broadened the anthropology major, giving her a stronger foundation to build a professional career. She is still based in Boston, still training with MIT coach and former world No. 1 Thierry Lincou. Already, she’s the best in this hemisphere: at the Pan-Am Games in Toronto, she grabbed three gold medals, the best individual performance since squash joined the Games in 1995.

    ASP Mixed Doubles Cameron Pilley & Donna Urquhart Men’s Doubles Zac Alexander & David Palmer Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi! oi! oi! ASP squashmedia .com.au Squash Media would like to congratulate Cameron, David, Donna, Rachael and Zac on their awesome achievements GREEN & GOLD at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. To David Palmer and Rachael Grinham ... once again thank you for so many wonderful memories over 20 years at the CG. David Palmer has now won 3 Gold, 2 Silver and 4 Bronze Medals from 6 Games (in actual fact it is 9 medals from 5 Games because he didn’t win a medal at his first Games appearance). I’m proud to say I was in the audience to witness your 9th medal ... GOLD! Rachael Grinham has now won 2G, 2S and 4B from 5 Games. Another fantastic record of achievement. Winning medals at the Commonwealth Games is a wonderful achievement but as 41 year olds ... well that is simply incredible! Both players may have lost a little speed but their shots and tactics are still awesome Congratulations & thank you Refs! Steve Walton put it best “I thought they did a sensational job because the pressure is immense. The amount of information that they have to manage now is quite extreme particularly when you are the main ref in centre court and you have ear pieces, iPads, 2 competitive players and you are seated right amongst the spectators that groan every time a decision goes against their player. The refs are also competing to referee in the big matches and they have their own behind the scenes challenges to manage also.” ASP squashmedia .com.au to watch.

  • Is England's Golden Age Nearly Over?

    Is England's Golden Age Nearly Over?

    FEATURE Is England’s golden age nearly over? Richard Eaton investigates whether England will be able to continue their position as one of squash’s superpowers when the current crop of world-class players retire Massaro is 29, Alison Waters 29 and Jenny Duncalf 30. Age affects people differently, so it would be silly to downplay any of them. But Matthew's words reverberate. They won't be here for ever. Moreover, Emily Whitlock, aged 19 and just outside the world's top 20, looks like the only prospect good enough to reach the top. Why, with so much Lottery funding, do England not have many potential replacements? Egypt have. Other questions are asked about England's system. Is it flexible enough to accommodate outsiders? Has it adversely affected the coaching market? Does it put enough resources into talent identification? Criticism can be helpful, but it can also be a hindrance to a governing body trying to cope with a changing world. They need to stay clear about their goals and methods, and maintain faith through setbacks. Maintaining morale thus becomes crucial. England Squash and Racketball (ESR) are operating amidst fewer clubs, fewer participants, fewer coaches and significantly fewer talented young players, particularly women, than 20 years ago. This is not easy. Nevertheless, they still have the world's best system,according to Britain's Nick Matthew first male world champion, Peter Nicol. “It was brilliant,” he said. He even abandoned his Scottish squash-playing loyalties to join it. Without that, he could not have extended his reign as world no.1 to a remarkable 60 months.
