Manchester Open Draw Released as PSA World Tour Returns
The PSA World Tour will make a long-awaited return when the world's top
players line up at the Manchester Open, PSA Silver tournament between
September 16-22 as the six-month suspension of professional squash due
to the global COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end.
The tournament, originally scheduled for May 2020, will be held behind
closed doors, will be delivered in partnership with Manchester City
Council and will follow strict COVID-19 protocols to ensure the health
and safety of all players and on-site staff.
Following the inaugural women's tournament in 2019, a men's Silver
tournament has been added to the bill and the men's draw will feature
the entirety of the top 10, with World No.1 Mohamed ElShorbagy
headlining the draw ahead of World No.2 Ali Farag, World No.3 Karim
Abdel Gawad and World Champion Tarek Momen.
ElShorbagy will begin his tournament against Germany’s World No.29
Raphael Kandra, with a possible second round clash with Colombia’s
Miguel Rodriguez, who faces Pakistan’s Tayyab Aslam in round one, in
store.
The World No.1 will face tough competition to get to the final, with his
side of the draw including World No.4 Momen, New Zealand’s World No.5
Paul Coll and Peru’s World No.6 Diego Elias.
At the opposite end of the draw, Farag will line up against Scotland’s
Greg Lobban in round one with the likes of compatriots Gawad and Marwan
ElShorbagy on his side of the draw, along with Wales’ World No.10 Joel
Makin, who will face France’s Victor Crouin on the opening day of
action.
Along with Makin, there is strong home interest in the men’s draw in the
form of England’s former World No.1 James Willstrop, Declan James, Tom
Richards, Daryl Selby and Adrian Waller, while the wildcard place is
awarded to St. Helens-based Patrick Rooney.
Meanwhile, the women’s draw is led by France’s World No.3 Camille Serme,
with the likes of defending champion New Zealand’s Joelle King, World
No.4 Nour El Tayeb, England’s World No.5 Sarah-Jane Perry and Wales’
World No.9 Tesni Evans all included in the draw.
Serme will begin her tournament against USA’s Sabrina Sobhy and could
face Egypt’s World No.6 Hania El Hammamy in the semi-finals, should the
draw go to seeding, with the two contesting some of the best matches of
the 2019-20 season.
Title
holder King (right), who defeated Evans in last year’s final, will begin
her title defence against Latvia’s Ineta Mackevica in round one.
At the opposite end of the draw, Egypt’s El Tayeb will come up against
England’s Jasmine Hutton in round one, while home favourite Perry will
take on Scotland’s Lisa Aitken on the opening day at the National Squash
Centre.
Last year’s runner-up Evans will face Egypt’s World No.26 Zeina Mickawy
in round one with fellow Brits Jasmine Hutton, Lucy Turmel, Alison
Waters, Millie Tomlinson and Julianne Courtice providing home interest,
while World No.80 Lily Taylor is awarded the wildcard spot.
Action from the tournament will be shown live on SQUASHTV (rest of
world), Eurosport Player (Europe only) and Facebook (excluding Europe
and Japan). The semi-finals and finals will be shown live on BT Sport in
the UK and other international broadcasters globally.
For more information on the tournament, visit the official website or
