• The British Open Squash Championships is the oldest, most established, and one of the most respected tournaments in the game of squash. • Along with the PSA World Tour it is considered the highest, most prestigious tournament in the sport. • This year, the week-long tournament will begin on May 11, but there’s already news of a certain favorite not making it.
• As rather upsetting news, sources found the 2013 tournament champion (and three-time additional world champion), Ramy Ashour, 28, of Egypt was ruled out from the 2015 cup. • An aggravated achilles heel injury was listed as the official reason for sitting out of this year’s pinnacle event.
• Ashour’s absence means some rearrangement of the seeding chart. • Ashour’s fellow countryman and veteran, Amr Shabana— the runner-up in the 2004 British Open—will be taking his place as the number four seed in the first match against England’s Chris Simpson. • England’s Nick Matthew (the 2006, 2009, 2010 champion) will be seeded third, behind Mohamed Elshorbagy of Egypt and 2014 winner and 2013 runner-up Grégory Gaultier of France.
• However, current arrangements may change once more as Nick Matthew debates whether he can participate at the open with a recovering knee injury. • The aging superstar hurt his knee coming off the El Gouna international in Egypt last month.
• Before the injury, he showed only signs of continuing success with four significant victories bringing him up to second in the world rankings. • Matthew has been training alongside veteran Ellery Hanley in order to prepare himself for the upcoming games.
