Commemorative Pin $10 Squash Books $20 4:00: Ramit Tandon (India, age 27, rank 46) vs. Mostafa Asal (Egypt, age 18, rank 21) Asal, the youngest player in the ToC men’s draw at just eighteen years old, has been dubbed as a potential future world No. 1. The two-time world junior champion has an imposing presence on court and controlled his only previous match against Welcome to the twenty-third J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions held in Grand Tandon during October’s U.S. Open.

Hong Kong’s No. 1 will be favored against the Princeton graduate, reinforced Lucas Serme (FRA) vs. Abdulla Mohd Al Tamimi (QAT) by his 3-0 win over Harrity in the 2019 PSA World Championship.
