PSA M5, Madison Open, Madison, United States

Madison Open Begins The main draw of the Madison Open, PSA M5 tournament gets off to an electric start on Thursday November 12 with a number of exciting clashes being played out in front of a packed crowd at the Madison Squash Workshop. England’s Angus Gillams is one of the forerunners for the title but will have to put an end to a run of five defeats from as many finals if he is to lift silverware in the United States. Gillam’s recorded four consecutive final defeats between January and May with a further runner-up finish coming at the Belfast Open in August. The talented 20-year-old certainly has the potential to push for honours this time out though and receives a bye in the first round with a quarter-final clash against either Jon Geekie or compatriot Ben Coates on the horizon. Second seed Reuben Phillips is looking to build on his quarter-final finish at the Life Time Fitness Chicago Open last month where he lost out to eventual winner Danish Atlas Khan. The 23-year-old is still searching for his maiden PSA World Tour crown and will hope to take one step closer to breaking his duck when he takes on Belal Nawar in the opening round. Cameron Stafford is looking to end a streak of four successive first round eliminations and revert to the kind of form he showed back in June when he reached the semi-final of the British Virgin Islands Open Squash Championship. Stafford kicks off his tournament against Juan Gomez Dominguez in round one. World No.202 Alex Noakes is a dark horse for the crown but remains a dangerous opponent, particularly as he is part of the elite squash set up in Bristol that homes both World No.1 Mohamed Elshorbagy and his brother, Marwan. Noakes, who turns 20 the day before the main draw commences, will be hoping to draw some inspiration from the Egyptians when he faces Syed Hamzah Shah Bukhari for a place in the next round.
