Who are the greatest
players of all time ?
  
The debate has raged for decades, and there have been many polls allowing squash fans to cast their vote.

But now, thanks to an idea from Radio 5 Live's Wimbledon coverage, we have devised a format that allows you to really get involved and introduce a bit of life to the quiet summer period.

We're going to take eight of the best ever men, eight of the best ever women, and put them into two tournament draws.

Each Monday to Thursday one match will be put to the vote, as you get to decide who you think would win on the day. We'll be previewing each match, to give you an idea of the players' qualities.

After 14 matches we will have two champions, and the 'greatest of all time' will be crowned. Well, until next time, anyway ...
