Wildcard Yip Takes out Third Seed in Hong Kong Shocker Day THREE • Cathay Pacific • Sun Hung Kai Financial • Hong Kong Squash Open 2016 • [ TODAY ] [ Day THREE ] [ Day TWO ] [ Day ONE ] [ PREVIEW ] TODAY at the Hong Kong Open ­ Daily Reports 23­Aug, Day THREE, Round One (top): Wildcard Yip takes out third seed in Hong Kong shocker The first day of main draw play of the first World Series event of the season saw just one upset result as play moved to Hong Kong Squash Centre for the top half of the draws, but what an upset it was a local wildcard Yip Tsz Fung beat third seeded Colombian Miguel Rodriguez in five games to the delight of the packed home crowd. BLOG: Match reports and more After the opening two Photo Gallery games were shared, both in extra points, Rodriguez looked to have weathered the storm as he took the third 11/2, but Yip responded to level the match 11/3 and kept the momentum as he took the decider to claim his biggest win yet. "I played well at the start but he changed his game in the third," said a delighted Yip. "I managed to change my game to adapt and it worked ­ I'm so happy, I can't quite believe it but it's so good to be able to do this in front of my home crowd!" Report: Yip takes out Miguel Yip now faces Australian Ryan Cuskelly, who took just short of an hour to beat qualifier Omar Abdel Meguid in three tough games. James Willstrop came through a tough all­English encounter with Tom Richards to set up a meeting with Tarek Momen, one of four Egyptian men's winners. Karim Abdel Gawad and Mazen Hesham will meet in an all­Egyptian second round while top seed and defending champion Mohamed Elshorbagy faces a repeat of last year's final against Australian Cameron Pilley, who made sure there was only one home winner as he beat Leo Au in three games to finish the day's play. "It took a couple of days, but the emotions and feeling from last year are coming back," said Pilley, "it's feeling good!" Report: Shorbagy does enough to hold off Simpson There were also four Egyptian winners in today's women's matches, led by world number one Nour El Sherbini who beat compatriot Heba El Torky in straight games. Report: Hold v Power She'll face home favourite Annie Au for a place in the quarter­finals after Au recovered from a game down to beat HK qualifier Liu Tsz­Ling, while there will be an all­Egyptian second round between third seed Raneem El Welily, who came from a game down to beat Rachael Grinham, and Nour El Tayeb, who needed to save a match ball in her fourth game against Australia's Donna Urquhart before progressing. Report: Annie's accuracy is key "I'm so relieved," said Tayeb, who was out of action for most of last season and recently married Ali Farag. "I really didn't want to lose my first match as a married woman!" The longest match of the day was the first match on the 'upstairs' court nine, a 94­ minute all­English battle which saw Sarah­Jane Perry lose a two­game lead over Victoria Lust before finally clinching the win and setting up a meeting with Amanda Sobhy, the American who ensured that Au would be the last home player in the women's draw as she beat Joey Chan in straight games. "It's been a long Summer of training," said Sobhy, "so it's really good to get back in action ­ I feel like a kid in a candy shop!"

    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.

    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.
