The young Egyptian played accurate attacking squash while also displaying her pace and retrieval against the world No. 4. She will need to put in a similar performance to combat King’s powerful style and maneuver around the Kiwi, who is six inches taller. Both players dropped the first game of their third round matches and will want to avoid another slow start. A win for Hany would mean a milestone first-career Platinum semifinal appearance, while King is bidding for her second consecutive semifinal appearance in Grand Central. While Hany has competed in Platinum events consistently for the past five years, she has never encountered the veteran on the PSA World Tour. 5:45: [3] Karim Abdel Gawad (Egypt, age 28, rank 4) vs. [6] Simon Rösner (Germany, age 32, rank 7) 2020 TOC APPAREL This quarterfinal fields two former ToC champions and a rematch of the 2017 and 2019 quarters.

Commemorative Pin $10 Squash Books $20 7:30: [2] Nour El Sherbini (Egypt, age 24, rank 2) vs. [8] Sarah-Jane Perry (England, age 29, rank 8) While the three-time ToC champ El Sherbini leads the head-to-head 5-4, the Englishwoman has won their last three encounters at the 2019 World Tour Finals and British Open and 2018 Hong Kong Open. The Egyptian’s last Sport’s biggest stages can elevate athletes’ performances. For the J.P. Morgan win took place in Grand Central two years ago in the quarterfinals of her 2018 title run. Perry will hope to use Tournament of Champions, Hany (l) and Rösner (r) embody this. Hany has reached her stature and strength to frustrate El Sherbini’s attacking fluidity and to limit her shot-making opportunities. two quarterfinals in her thirty Platinum appearances—the 2019 and 2020 ToC—and Both players have yet to play their most convincing squash after being tested by Americans Sabrina Sobhy and her upset over El Tayeb Tuesday was one of the biggest results of her career.

For Makin, it presents an opportunity to reach what would be just his second career Platinum semifinal, while also proving that he belongs in the world’s top ten—if not five.

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.

  • Squash Magazine Announces 2Nd Annual Top 50
    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.

  • 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.
