OCTOBER - MEN'S PLAYER OF THE MONTH

Selby has been named Squash Player’s Male Player of the Month for
October after winning the biggest title of his long career in
September at the $50,000 Macau Open.
The 33-year-old English international ended a PSA Tour trophy
drought stretching back to April 2012 when Hong Kong’s Max Lee was
forced to pull out of their final due to injury.
“It's a weird one, as it doesn't feel like my biggest title, maybe
because I didn't actually play the final,” Selby commented. “Or
possibly because it's been four and a half years since I last won!”
Nevertheless, the fourth seed from Essex did defeat second favourite
Saurav Ghosal 3/1 in the semi-finals and so reaped the benefits of a
revised summer programme.
“I chose an extra few weeks of training this summer instead of
playing Hong Kong, as I wanted to be fit and fresh for the start of
the season,” Selby explained.
“I played in well in France [at the Nantes Open], but was short of
match practice and then Macau was obviously very pleasing.” |
