An amazing tournament with a fantastic atmosphere

Last year’s tournament saw several top-20 ranked players show up to compete, but the real intrigue and the joy came from watching younger and lower-ranked players bring their A-game against their more established rivals:

17-year-old Mohamed Zakaria from Egypt made the quarter finals, beating higher-seeded Frenchman Gregoire Marche and then losing to one-time British Open winner Miguel Rodriguez, a player more than twice his age with more years of experience on the PSA tour than Zakaria has experience of being alive.  Englishman Nathan Lake and Scot Greg Lobban also faced off in a squash recreation of the movie “Braveheart,” with Lobban’s baby son watching from the audience as his father recreated Gibson’s performance against the English. Open Squash ambassador Victor Crouin also lost out to Marwan Elshorbagy in the final. In a dynamic and competitive women’s draw, Hong Kong’s Ka Yi Lee narrowly lost out in the final to Open Squash ambassador Farida Mohamed after torching higher seeds Nada Abbas and Hollie Naughton in the quarter and semi-finals.

Don’t just hear about this year’s tournament second-hand. Be there in person to experience it for yourself! All ticket sales will go to support Open Squash’s junior scholarship program, which supports young people from all backgrounds playing squash amongst a competitive community of their peers.

See you at the Open Squash Classic!
