JAHANGIR

If longevity, consistency and 

domination in their sport are the key 

ingredients to being recognised as the world’s 

greatest sportsman, there is only one name that 

stands head and shoulders above all others. 

Jahangir Khan is a man whose name is synonymous 

with squash. A man universally recognised as the 

world’s greatest ever player and an athlete who 

transcended his sport to be acknowledged as the world’s 

greatest ever sportsman. A man who set the bar so high, 

precious few others have come close, never 

mind surpass his achievements. 

Through courage, determination and personal sacrifice, 

Jahangir Khan overcame personal tragedy to dominate 

and ultimately transcend the world’s most 

physically demanding sport. 

Throughout his record breaking career, he used 

and was synonymous with only one brand. 

INSPIRED BY JAHANGIR KHAN MADE TO WIN

WINDY CITY OPEN 

GREGORYGAULTIER&RANEEMELWElILY 

CROWNEDWINDYCITYOPENCHAMPIONS 

Gregory Gaultier won his 36th 

Professional Squash Association 

(PSA) World Tour title with an 

impressive 5-11 11-8 11-2 11-4 victory 

over surprise finalist Marwan 

ElShorbagy to win the 2017 

Windy City Open presented by 

Guggenheim Partners & EquiTrust 

Life Insurance Company - while 

Egyptian Raneem El Welily added 

the 2017 title to her 2015 and 2016 

crowns with a 10-12 11-7 11-7 11-7 win 

over Nour El Sherbini. 

Gaultier, competing in his 75th PSA World Tour final, has been 

in scintillating form so far in 2017. After finishing as runnerup 

at January’s Tournament of Champions and winning the 

Swedish Open in February he proved too much for ElShorbagy, 

the 23-year-old Egyptian appearing in a World Series 

tournament final for the first time in his career. 

The Frenchman started slowly, looking nervous as he struggled 

to settle into his customary high paced tempo resulting in the 

opening game going the way of a more composed ElShorbagy. 

However, Gaultier’s big game experience came to the fore 

as he pushed on to secure the honours and win his 13th PSA 

World Series title. 

Gaultier, the champion in 2014, started this year’s campaign 

with impressive straight game victories over Englishmen Joe 

Lee, Daryl Selby and James Willstrop and secured his place in 

the final following an intense and highly charged three game 

victory over Spaniard Borja Golan after the Spanish No.1 had 

inflicted a shock quarter-final defeat over World Champion 

Karim Abdel Gawad. 

World No.1 Mohamed ElShorbagy also saw his hopes of winning 

the title for the second consecutive year dashed in the quarterfinals 

when his younger brother Marwan, despite failing to take 

more than a solitary game in their seven matches, prevailed 1-11 

11-8 13-11 5-11 11-8 under the chandeliers of the University Club 

of Chicago. 

“I am really happy - it’s amazing to win these kind of major 

titles so it will be nice to see my name on this beautiful trophy 

once again,” said Gaultier. “It’s a lovely place to play and I have 

been coming here for a long time. I have a lot of friends here 

and have always enjoyed coming back. 

“Marwan caused me a lot of trouble in the first game. He 

has got a lot of confidence from this week winning some big 

matches, especially from beating his brother the World No.1. He 

proved this week that he is a top player - he came through five 

tough matches to reach this stage which, was a tougher week 

than me. 

“I had to find a solution and to put more pace into it and get in 

control because when I was playing at his rhythm he was just a 

better player than me.” 

El Welily meanwhile, in a repeat of the 2016 final, put in the 

best performance of her year to stop World No.1 El Sherbini 

in forty-two minutes - playing superb squash from the off and 

using her backhand drop to devastating effect to punish any 

loose play from her opponent. Despite losing a close first game 

10-12 it looked comfortable for El Welily as she returned to the 

form that took her to World No.1 in 2015. 

“I’m very, very happy, it’s fantastic to win here again for the 

third time,” said El Welily. “Chicago feels like my lucky city - I’m 

always happy to be here.” 

During the trophy presentation it was announced the 2018 

Windy City Open will become the most lucrative PSA World 

Tournament ever, boasting a $500,000 prize fund that will be 

split equally between Men and Women.

ALLAM BRITISH OPEN 2017 

ALLAMBRITISHOPEN 

The 2017 edition of the iconic Allam British Open will feature 

a world-class line-up of local talent when the Professional Squash 

Association (PSA) World Series tournament gets under way at Hull’s 

Airco Arena between the 21st to 26th March. 

Home favourites Nick Matthew and 

James Willstrop will have their eyes on 

the oldest and most distinguished title in 

the sport and will look to return the title 

to English hands for the first time since 

Matthew’s triumph in 2013. 

The experienced duo, whose 2009 British 

Open final clash sparked one of the 

sport’s most bitter rivalries of all time, 

are seeded on opposite sides of the draw 

and will both need to fight through a topclass 

field if they are to fulfil their pretournament 

title ambitions. 

Matthew, a three-time winner of the 

coveted title, will face Spanish No.1 

Borja Golan in round one, while the 

likes of defending champion Mohamed 

ElShorbagy, World No.7 Ali Farag and 

World No.8 Tarek Momen also reside on 

his half of the draw. 

Willstrop’s path to the final is arguably 

even more difficult, with World Champion 

Karim Abdel Gawad, enigmatic Egyptian 

Ramy Ashour, and two-time champion 

Gregory Gaultier all potential opponents 

if the former World No.1 progresses 

beyond Frenchman Mathieu Castagnet in 

his opening round clash. 

Willstrop and Matthew will also be aiming 

to strengthen their positions on the 

Men’s PSA Road to Dubai Standings as 

they look to secure a coveted berth at 

June’s PSA Dubai World Series Finals - 

where only the top eight players on the 

Road to Dubai Standings will qualify. 

The Women’s draw, meanwhile, sees 2013 

winner Laura Massaro aim to become the 

first Englishwoman to win more than one 

British Open title since Janet Morgan in 

the 1950s. 

33-year-old Massaro, who became 

the first Englishwoman in history to 

hold both the British Open and World 

Championship titles three years ago, gets 

her tournament under way against Indian 

No.2 Dipika Pallikal Karthik and is seeded 

to meet Egyptian Raneem El Welily in a 

blockbuster quarter-final. 

Massaro’s compatriots Sarah-Jane Perry 

and Alison Waters will also have hopes of 

fighting through to the latter stages with 

both players in fine form of late. 

World No.1 Nour El Sherbini and World 

No.2 Camille Serme, the latter of whom 

leads the Women’s PSA Road to Dubai 

Standings courtesy of recent wins at 

the Delaware Investments U.S. Open 

and Tournament of Champions, are 

seeded to meet in a mouth-watering final 

showdown.

WHAT SQUASH CAN LEARN FROM THE 

WORLD OF FORMULA 1 

WHATSQUASHCANLEARN 

FROMFORMULA1 

Squash has always been a popular recreational and professional 

sport both in the UK and across the globe. The sport has been 

increasingly receptive to adopting and embracing new technology 

to improve player and audience experience. Video replay is one 

example and an important tool for match officials during matches. 

The difficulty that the video referee system presents is that it is 

focused on what just happened, rather than what is going to happen. 

By Samir Abid, MBA, CEng 

Data on player movement, stroke-play and any type of 

bounce and spin of the ball are all useful insights and can 

contribute significantly to player performance. Data can 

provide useful insights but how much value is this knowledge 

contributing to player performance?” 

Squash matches can last anything from 30 minutes to 

over two hours, meaning a player has to be prepared to be 

playing for both a short and long time. As a result, there is a 

significant opportunity to optimise performance before and 

during the game in addition to post match analysis. 





The Formula One Opportunity 

The engineering pedigree of high performance motorsport has 

meant the sport has traditionally taken a different approach to 

that of others. The thing Formula One teams are really good 

at is putting information in context. You see, or rather hear 

it, when racing coverage tunes into team radios and you hear 

engineers informing drivers that their speed was faster than the 

previous lap, or that they will catch the driver in front of them 

by taking a particular action. 

What squash can learn from Formula One is not how to deliver 

advice and support, but how and when coaches can deliver this 

during a match. Efficiency and processes is what engineers and 

by association Formula One is really good at. Implementing 

technology in the right places means people can do their jobs 

better, making well informed, intelligent data driven decisions. 

Where I see the real opportunity in squash is in this behind 

the scenes area. Using experience from Formula One coaches 

can deliver advice and support with much more confidence 

and objectivity. 

For example, the biggest challenge for competition players is 

how to adapt to each individual opponent. Facing a six-foot 

powerful player is always going to require a different gameplan 

to tackling a smaller, faster and more mobile opponent. 

At present, a lot of actions are taken into consideration, but 

I’d question how many adjustments to equipment and strategy 

are made during a game and match. For example, if rules allow, 

could changing racket tension throughout a game make a 

difference? Could players see benefits from a dynamic string 

tension manager with optimised settings? In general, thinner 

strings are more powerful but thicker strings are more durable 

- so a combination of both may be better for some player’s 

performance but not for others. 

In Formula One, drivers adjust their brake bias, the amount 

of braking force applied between front and rear brakes, 

constantly throughout a lap. This enables them to maximise 

the entry phase for each corner, for any given condition such 

as changes in tarmac, wind direction, gradient etc. Taking 

a more objective, engineered approach to coaching should 

involve questioning everything. 

To replicate the success of players 

such as Ramy Ashour, squash would 

be advised to adopt principles from 

Formula One 





Data can provide useful insights but how much value 

is this knowledge contributing to player performance? 

Applying an engineering mindset 

Engineers tend to follow a relatively strict approach when 

looking to innovate and develop new ideas, following a research, 

do, review and repeat process until the optimum outcome is 

achieved. Two areas this can be applied are simulation and 

aerodynamics. 

Formula One teams regularly use simulators to prepare drivers 

to face different conditions and challenges. Race conditions can 

be simulated down to the smallest detail. 

This approach can also be applied to squash. Coaches already 

identify aspects of opponents their players should be prepared 

to face, so why not develop the technology to simulate these? It 

would enable players to actually practice their game plan weeks 

before a match, ensuring every return and serve is precision 

engineered to beat an opponent. 

The same approach can be applied to equipment. It is already 

understood that a different racket can make a difference in 

various points of the game. Squash matches can be incredibly 

varied depending on opponent, so a racket optimised to 

different opponents and conditions could be a significant 

advantage. Changing rackets mid rally is of course not 

possible, but what if a racket could be adapted mid-way 

through a game? There has been some discussion around 

nanotechnology and applying this to produce a dynamic 

racket that alters its aerodynamic properties and formation at 

different points in a game. 

The nature of the sport has meant that Formula One has always 

been full of engineering minds, but I believe it is now time other 

sporting disciplines learnt from this. The technical nature of the 

sport is not just down to the fact it involves cars, but because 

team members are fully dedicated to constantly looking for that 

extra millisecond. 

In short, I believe there is plenty that could be learnt through 

data sharing between Formula One and squash. To learn how to 

maximise player performance and success in an insightful way, 

I would advise the sport examine and adopt the latest technical 

and engineering principles.

UCS UCS SWEDISH OPEN OPEN 2017 

GREGORYGAULTIERWINS 

2017UCSSWEDISHOPEN 

Gregory Gaultier lifted the UCS Swedish Open title for the third 

time in his career after he overturned a one-game deficit to defeat 

World Champion Karim Abdel Gawad in the final in Linköping - bringing 

an end to the Egyptian’s 19-match unbeaten run on the Professional 

Squash Association (PSA) World Tour. 

Defending champion Gawad, the 25-year-old from Giza, 

looked to be on course to lift a fourth successive PSA World 

Tour title to add to his World Championship, Qatar Classic and 

Tournament of Champions titles - the latter of which saw him 

beat Gaultier in the final - after he pulled away at the end of 

game one to take the lead. 

However, a stunning response from Gaultier saw the 34-yearold 

storm back into contention, with a masterful display 

seeing him ease to victories in games two and three - without 

dropping a single point in the latter - before he came out on 

top of an absorbing battle in the fourth and final game to lift 

his 35th career PSA World Tour title courtesy of a 7-11 11-3 

11-0 11-8 victory. 

“I pushed as hard as possible to grab the win, he’s obviously 

been winning in the last three tournaments and he’s the 

World Champion, so all credit to him, he’s an amazing 

player,” said Gaultier. 

“He’s chasing the World No.1 spot and I wish him good luck to 

get it. I know this feeling and he is a super talented player. I’m 

sure he is going to get it. 

“I’m glad I managed to play well here and I’m really happy to 

come here and support the event. I first came here when I was 

18-years-old and now I’m 34. I came to the first edition, so I’m 

really faithful to the tournament and I will keep being faithful as 

the tournament keeps going.” 

Gawad, meanwhile, took time out to praise the new champion, 

saying: “I had a tough week here, but all credit to Greg, he 

played some amazing squash today. He was the better player 

throughout the match, so all credit to him 

“Since I won the Swedish Open last year, I have had a great 

season, and to reach the final here again is a great feeling.

Q&A: JOEL MAKIN 

Makin talks with 

Q&AJoel 

International Squash Magazine. 

JOELMAKIN 

Earliest sporting memory: 

Watching the Sydney Olympics on TV 

aged five and seeing Steve Redgrave win 

his 5th Gold medal in his 5th Olympic 

Games. My earliest memory in squash 

was winning at court sprints rather than 

hitting a ball! 

Sports watched: Squash, rugby, 

athletics, cricket, tennis, and boxing. 

Sports played: 

Squash, rugby, running, cricket and 

football. 

Why a life in sport, or if it hadn’t 

happened, what would you have 

done instead? 

I have always loved sport from a very 

young age. I specifically like individual 

sport because it’s just down to you 

and you are responsible for winning 

and losing. I like to think I would have 

done another sport professionally if not 

squash! 

Toughest part of your sporting life: 

Injury or illness, having to take time off 

from my training and playing and not 

knowing how long it will be before I’m 

back competing. 

Most memorable sporting moment: 

The opening ceremony of the 

Commonwealth Games, walking into the 

stadium in front of thousands of people 

was definitely the most memorable 

moment. Followed by two weeks of 

being amongst the best athletes and 

competition in the world. 

Worst sporting moment: 

Losing in the Tournament of Champions 

in New York earlier this year having 

had a match ball in the first round of 

qualifying. It was a tough loss to take 

because of how close it was and my first 

attempt at qualifying for a PSA World 

Series tournament. 

Sporting heroes: 

Growing up with rugby as the most 

popular sport in Wales, as a child, it 

would have been Shane Williams. Now, 

it would definitely be Jonah Barrington. 

This is because of his resilience and 

determination. Through this, his brutal 

training and incredible attention to detail, 

he beat all of the world’s best players. As 

well as what he has done for squash in 

making it into the professional sport it is 

today. 

Favourite venue and why: 

The best venue I’ve seen is the 

Tournament of Champions at Grand 

Central Terminal in New York. It’s such 

an iconic venue and with thousands of 

people passing through Grand Central 

every day, it’s great for the exposure of 

the sport. It’s great that we have courts 

that can be put anywhere and it would 

be great if we could have squash at more 

iconic venues. 



Q&A: JOEL MAKIN 

Sporting event you would pay the 

most to see: 

Olympic Games athletics finals day. 

And to miss: 

Most premier league football. 

Question asked most often by 

the public: 

If playing squash is my full time job. 

And the answer: 

Yes, I usually explain about travelling so 

much for tournaments and that it isn’t 

the same as sports like golf or tennis 

but if you do well enough then it is a full 

time job. 

Greatest change you would like to see 

in the running of your sport: 

It would have to be getting into the 

Olympic Games, as this is the biggest 

sporting stage and squash deserves to be 

a part of it. 

How well is your sport covered in 

the media? 

Not well enough, but it is improving. The 

PSA is improving the exposure squash 

receives through Eurosport and BT Sport, 

and the YouTube channel with free 

highlights and shots of the month is great 

for attracting new people to squash. 

Sporting motto: 

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight it’s 

the size of the fight in the dog. 

Who would you most like to invite to 

dinner and why? 

In terms of sport, it would be any of 

the sporting greats in the sports 

I follow. For example, Mo Farah, 

Roger Federer, Eddie Hall, and Jonah 

Barrington. Their knowledge and 

experience about their sports would 

be amazing to hear.

BRITISH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS 

NICKMATTHEW&LAURAMASSARO 

SUCCESSFULLYDEFENDBRITISHNATIONALTITLES 

Nick Matthew and Laura Massaro successfully defended their 

treasured British National titles at the National Squash Centre in 

Manchester. Matthew collected a record ninth men’s title whilst Laura 

Massaro proved equally dominant in the women’s championship to win 

her fourth domestic crown. 

Matthew, who regards the title amongst his 

most cherished, continued his dominance 

of the event with a sublime performance 

against surprise finalist Joe Lee to extend 

his record title haul to nine - six ahead of 

Phil Kenyon who won four domestic men’s 

titles between 1977 and 1985. 

The 36-year-old brushed aside Ashley 

Davies, Jamie Haycocks and Declan James 

enroute to his tenth final – a remarkable 

statistic when only injury prevented his 

participation in 2007 and 2008. 

The defending champion exerted his 

authority from the opening exchanges to 

boss the 40-minute final and never looked 

like relinquishing his tight grip of the 

match as he raced to a stunning 11-6 11-4 

11-8 victory. 

“It’s an honour to win a ninth title,” said 

Matthew. “I think Joe was a little bit 

nervous with it being his first final. He 

pushed me hard in the third game, maybe 

I got a bit nervous. It doesn’t matter 

whether you’ve won a few titles, you do 

sometimes get a bit excited towards the 

end. But I’m really happy with where my 

game is and hopefully I can now take that 

forward to the tour.” 

Much of the build-up to the tournament 

had centred around his rivalry with James 

Willstrop after his compatriot had ended 

a 10-year, 19-match losing streak against 

perennial domestic nemesis on the eve 

of the championships at the Tournament 

of Champions in New York. However, 

the eagerly anticipated final wasn’t to 

materialise after Willstrop, himself a twotime 

champion, was forced to retire in his 

quarter-final match against Lee having 

been unable to recover from the effects of 

a debilitating virus. 

Far from being an appropriate conclusion 

to a record breaking career, Matthew’s 

extended record represents another 

notable milestone and source of immense 

personal pride. Despite an increasing focus 

on preserving fitness by fine-tuning his 

playing schedule, the British Nationals 

remains a priority amongst his demanding 

World Tour commitments and no doubt he 

can be relied upon to make a determined 

and tough-minded defence when he returns 

to his favourite venue in Manchester’s ever 

prosperous Eastlands district. 

“It was totally different this year. With 

Declan yesterday and Joe today it made 

me feel my age a bit. It would be nice to 

get ten. Hopefully, fingers crossed, I can 

come back for at least one more go and 

get a tenth,” added the record nine-time 

champion. 

In the women’s final, top seed Laura 

Massaro again showed her class and steely 

determination with a comprehensive and 

an equally commanding 11-5 12-10 11-9 win 

over Sarah-Jane Perry in a repeat of the 

2015 final, which her young compatriot 

unexpectedly won in a five game thriller. 

“It’s a special event to win,” said Massaro, 

“especially at home with all my friends and 

family here. 

“I set out to play fast to try to take the 

nerves out of it, and I was really pleased to 

be able to finish those last two games.” 

Alongside the men’s and women’s events, 

this year’s championships attracted a 

record entry of over 400 of the UK’s best 

Masters, competing across sixteen agegroup 

categories from Over-35 to Over-80, 

who played their part in another memorable 

and unrivalled festival of squash.

J.P. MORGAN 

TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS 

KARIMABDELGAWAD&CAMILLESERME 

WINMAIDENTOURNAMENTOFCHAMPIONSTITLES 

Egypt’s Karim Abdel Gawad and France’s Camille Serme reigned 

supreme at the J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions in New York with 

the pair, both competing in the PSA World Series tournament title decider 

for the first time, prevailing in thrilling encounters with Gregory Gaultier 

and Laura Massaro respectively. 

Gawad came from behind against his 

French rival to win 6-11 11-6 12-10 11-6 to 

win a third consecutive major PSA World 

Tour title, adding to the Qatar Classic 

and World Championship titles he won in 

November and extend his unbeaten streak 

to 16 matches. 

“Winning the Tournament of Champions, 

here in this venue, is an amazing feeling 

and I feel absolutely fantastic right now,” 

said Gawad under the chandeliers at the 

spectacular Grand Central Terminal. 

“Matches with Greg are always tough 

and they can change at any moment. 

He has beaten me so many times before 

that I know even at match ball up he isn’t 

beaten. I’ve learnt a lot from him and I 

thought it was a great match. 

“I’m over the moon. To win three big titles 

like the World Championship and Qatar 

Classic is a great feeling and I have to 

thank my coaches for the support and 

hard work that has been put in for the past 

few years. 

“I’m really enjoying my squash at the 

moment so hopefully I can keep that going 

in the next tournament.” 

Serme meanwhile proved that she truly 

is the player to beat at present on the 

Women’s World Tour after beating Nouran 

Gohar, Nour El Sherbini and Massaro to 

add the Tournament of Champions title to 

the U.S. Open crown she won in October. 

The 27-year-old Frenchwoman started 

strong against Massaro, taking a tie-break 

opening game 13-11, but faded fast as the 

Englishwoman’s will and determination 

came to the fore. But at 2-2 Serme 

responded impressively, stepping up the 

court to get the better of Massaro and run 

out a 13-11 8-11 4-11 11-3 11-7 winner. 

“I can’t believe it,” said Serme. “Winning 

this title and winning two World Series 

titles in a row, beating the World No.1 and 

No.2 and coming from 2-1 down to beat 

Laura is absolutely amazing. It was such 

a big match for both of us. I had to fight 

myself, because I felt tired and flat, but I 

could see she was as well. We didn’t play 

our best - we were both tired and nervous. 

“But after the third game my coaches tried 

to wake me up, they said the right things 

and they told me to try and play like I did 

at the US Open so I went out there in the 

fourth like I was going into a boxing ring. I 

just had to fight and fight for it. 

“I’ve been working hard in training and to 

see it all pay off like this is so encouraging 

- I’m delighted.”

SUBURBAN COLLECTION 

MOTOR CITY OPEN 

RYANCUSKELLY 

WINSMOTORCITYOPEN 

Australian Ryan Cuskelly fought back against defending champion 

Ali Farag in the final of the 2017 Motor City Open presented by The 

Suburban Collection to claim the Professional Squash Association 

(PSA) M70 title with an impressive 4-11 11-5 11-5 11-9 triumph at the 

Birmingham Athletic Club in Detroit. 

I’m pretty excited to 

win my biggest title in 

my favorite tournament 

on the tour 

In his ninth year participating in the Motor 

City Open, Cuskelly who had previously 

never progressed beyond the quarterfinals, 

upset the defending champion to 

win his fifteenth biggest PSA World Tour 

title of his career 

“I’m pretty excited to win my biggest title 

in my favorite tournament on the tour,” 

Cuskelly said. “I always told the guys here 

I’d win it someday, but I didn’t expect it to 

be this year.” 

The eagerly anticipated final didn’t start 

well for Cuskelly, as Farag dominated 

the first game with error-free precision. 

However, things took a dramatic turn in 

the second game as Cuskelly increased 

the pace and chased down seemingly 

irretrievable winners to frustrate his 

younger opponent. 

The 29-year-old Australian owned the 

third much like the second, going on a 

five-point run to move one game away 

from the title. Farag however appeared to 

regain his steady form in the fourth game 

to lead 9-4, but Cuskelly was not to be 

denied and as he cut his opponent’s lead 

to 7-9 and then 8-9 it became apparent 

that the momentum had swung and the 

tenacious lefthander closed-out the match 

to claim a much deserved victory. 

“It’s unbelievable,” Cuskelly said. “I lost 

in qualification for years, but I did a lot of 

hard training in December and it paid off.”

SQUASH POISED FOR DIGITAL COMEBACK! 

SQUASHPOISEDFOR 

DIGITALCOMEBACK! 

Squash, the sport that might have been under the radar lately, is 

preparing for a digital comeback! 

We wanted to 

make it attractive to a 

whole new generation 

of players that would 

normally not set foot 

on a squash court 

In association with ASB SquashCourts, Munichbased 

interactiveSQUASH founder Markos Kern 

wanted to give the game of squash an extra 

twist and boost it into the digital age. The idea 

of interactiveSQUASH was born and only a 

few months later the first courts are already 

upgrading their facilities. 

“We wanted to make it attractive to a whole 

new generation of players that would normally 

not set foot on a squash court,” explained Kern. 

The idea is simple. Sensors track the ball and 

players. A projection transforms the front wall 

into a gigantic screen and touch pad where 

players can choose from applications such as 

playful games to sophisticated training modes 

for all levels of players. 

Stepping onto the court is no different from 

normal - until a voice welcomes you and 

enables you to pick one of the 22 different 

games by simply touching the front wall! More 

games and training modules will follow soon, 

and the system will also allow programmers 

to create their own applications, whilst also 

making them available on an app store. 

The interactiveSQUASH App connects 

directly to the court and lets players track 

their statistics and compare them to players 

worldwide. “And this is only the beginning,” 

adds Kern. “Those who are about to receive 

their upgrade will be very happy to see what’s 

coming up next.” 

The first court in Munich has already proved 

to be a sensation in terms of participation, 

especially with new players and kids. 

New customers are being exposed to 

interactiveSQUASH every day and sales figures 

are more than promising. 

In January the number of hours played on the 

interactiveSQUASH court virtually doubled, 

with almost 75% of completely new customers 

picking up a racquet for the first time. A recent 

Groupon campaign sold vouchers for 500 

hours in less than a week. 

Monica Wiedmann, a mother of two boys 

aged 6 and 9, commented: “Everything 

always competes with smartphone gaming 

or TV, but now we have finally got them 

motivated to move. 

“The entertainment aspect of it is terrific. It 

was really hard to get my kids motivated to 

pick up a racquet before – but now it’s harder 

to get them off the court again!” 

Jan Weber, father of two who enjoy a game 

of Monster Match on the court, joked: “My 

son is even able to operate the court without 

me being there, allowing me to get some free 

time!” 

So far, the creation of interactiveSQUASH has 

caused quite a buzz, even outside the world 

of squash. The concept recently won the 

“BrandNew award” - for the best new product 

in fitness for 2017 – at ISPO, the renowned 

annual international exhibition for the sports 

business. 

Videos of the games and training modes are 

shared in high volume social media, leading to 

substantial exposure. “The sheer number of 

inquiries from all over the world was simply 

staggering for us,” said Christoph Babinsky, 

CEO of ASB SquashCourts, the international 

distributor for the new system. 

“The first ten systems will be installed in March, 

and with all the interest of players, trainers, 

pros, and associations, it is quite obvious that 

this development is exactly what the sport of 

squash needs.” 

Living squash legend Jahangir Khan, who 

recently announced a partnership between 

UNSQUASHABLE, the iconic brand which 

he used throughout his record-breaking 

career, and interactiveSQUASH, was equally 

enthusiastic about such a significant 

development for the sport. 

“This innovation adds an important aspect to 

the development of the sport,” said the record 

ten-time British Open champion from Pakistan. 

“The combination with technology opens up 

whole new fields for the squash business. 

Whether it’s the way we play and train, or how 

the sport is seen by media and new players, it’s 

very good to see initiatives like this advancing 

- and UNSQUASHABLE is delighted to be 

partnering with interactiveSQUASH during such 

an exciting time for the sport.” 

Leading UNSQUASHABLE player and brand 

ambassador James Willstrop also recognises 

that the system offers many advantages for 

training and statistics for professional athletes: 

“Daily training routines are a must for any pro,” 

said the former world No.1 from England. 

“Challenging your personal best or warming up 

with some target practice definitely makes it 

more effective and interesting. After all, it’s the 

fun to play that drove us all to the sport in the 

first place!”
