06 | June 2018 INTERNATIONALSQUASHMAGAZINE 



Egyptians Mohamed ElShorbagy and Nour El Sherbini triumphed on a 

thrilling final day of action at the ATCO PSA Dubai World Series Finals to 

claim the prestigious season-ending titles inside Emirates Golf Club. 

Overcoming compatriots Ali Farag and Raneem El Welily, the 

respective men’s and women’s World No.1’s, they etched their 

names onto the trophies to bring the curtain down on what 

has been one of the most competitive and thrilling seasons 

in the history of the Professional Squash Association (PSA) 

World Tour - with ElShorbagy successfully defending the 

title he won twelve months ago and El Sherbini claiming the 

coveted crown for the first time in her career. 

In what was the tournament’s third consecutive staging in 

Dubai, El Sherbini, the 22-year-old from Alexandria who has 

occupied the World No.1 ranking unchallenged for the past 26 

months, underlined her dominance over the rest of the field 

as she swept El Welily aside in a one-sided 11-3 opening game. 

El Welily, who scalped El Sherbini to win the 2017 AJ Bell 

PSA World Championship final in December, fought hard to 

claim a close second game, but it proved to be in vain as El 

Sherbini regained the upper hand to move 2-1 ahead, before 

controlling the fourth game to seal an 11-5 9-11 11-8 11-5 win. 

“It feels amazing to have won this title,” said El Sherbini. “I 

was proud just to be one of the eight players who came here. 

It’s been a long season so I’m really proud and happy to end 

the season with this title. 

“This season has been one of the most successful of my 

career but there are still improvements to be made and I can 

still become a better player.” 

In the men’s final, it was Farag who started the stronger to 

take the opening game as he looked to exploit the tired legs 

of ElShorbagy. 

However, the 27-year-old from Alexandria who has reached 

12 finals from 14 events played during this season’s campaign, 

It feels amazing to have won this title… this season 

has been one of the most successful of my career but 

there are still improvements to be made and I can still 

become a better player 

NOUR EL SHERBINI 




I dared to dream for a second that I could go all the 

way. Even a week ago, if you’d have offered me a semifinal 

place here I wouldn’t have believed it 

NICK MATTHEW 

fought back in typical style to level the match before prevailing 

in a physically punishing third game to set up the platform for 

a deserved 51-minute 9-11 11-3 11-9 11-8 victory which sees him 

end the season as World No.1, World Champion and World Series 

Finals Champion. 

“It’s been an amazing week here in Dubai,” said ElShorbagy. 

“There have been some great matches and I’m very proud to 

have been part of this event at the end of the season and to 

have won it. 

“Ali and I have played so many battles this season and I’m 

happy that we managed to end the season playing against each 

other - he’s a great guy and great player and I look forward to 

being back on court battling with him again next season.” 

The championships marked the final PSA World Tour 

appearance of England’s Nick Matthew who brought the curtain 

down on a glittering 20-year-career by reaching the semi-finals 

following impressive wins over Tarek Momen, recently crowned 

British Open Champion Miguel Angel Rodriguez and World No.1 

Mohamed ElShorbagy in the group stages. 

37-year-old Matthew was set to retire after defeat to Germany’s 

Raphael Kandra at the Allam British Open which meant he 

failed to qualify for the World Series Finals, but a hamstring 

injury sustained by World No.3 Marwan ElShorbagy saw the 

Englishman receive a deserved late call-up. 

Having topped his group, Matthew’s tournament, and career, 

came to an end in the semi-finals at the hands of Farag 

who progressed with an 11-5 11-7 victory. Matthew, the most 

successful male English squash player of all time, bows 

out with 35 PSA World Tour titles to his name, including 

three PSA World Championship crowns, alongside a trio of 

Commonwealth Games gold medals. 

“I dared to dream for a second that I could go all the way. 

Even a week ago, if you’d have offered me a semi-final place 

here I wouldn’t have believed it,” admitted Matthew. 

“A few people this week have been trying to talk me out of 

retirement but that’s not happening. I’m 100 per cent going 

to stay in squash but I’m going to have a rest this summer, 

I’ve got some camps in the US and I’ll have a lot of family 

time and regroup. 

“I’ve got a great role which I’m looking forward to doing with 

England Squash and I’ll be growing my academy around the 

world. I’m still going to play, I’m not going to totally stop 

because I’m too competitive,” added the three-time World 

Champion who will take on a coaching and ambassadorial role 

with England Squash.

ALLAM BRITISH OPEN 

MIGUELANGELRODRIGUEZ&NOURELSHERBINI 

CROWNEDALLAMBRITISHOPENCHAMPIONS 

Miguel Angel Rodriguez became the first South American player 

ever to win a Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Series 

tournament after the unseeded Colombian stunned Mohamed 

ElShorbagy to win the men’s title at the Allam British Open, whilst 

Nour El Sherbini defeated World Champion Raneem El Welily to win her 

second title at the ‘Wimbledon of Squash’. 

Rodriguez, the first unseeded player in 

the modern era to win the British Open, 

and ElShorbagy, a two-time British Open 

champion, contested one of the most 

dramatic finals the tournament has 

ever seen, with 32-year-old Rodriguez 

prevailing 11-7 6-11 8-11 11-2 11-9 in a 

gladiatorial 102-minute contest. 

ElShorbagy, who prior to the final 

had spent almost an hour longer on 

court than his opponent during this 

tournament, fought through the fatigue 

to take a 2-1 lead but the Egyptian 

took just two points in the fourth as he 

recharged his batteries for one last push 

in the fifth. 

What followed was a stunning display 

of squash from both players, with 

ElShorbagy sinking to the floor due to 

sheer exhaustion after a particularly 

gruelling rally in the latter stages. 

The reigning World Champion fought on 

heroically but couldn’t deny his South 

American rival and when the Colombian 

reached match ball by deceived him with 

a well-disguised boast, Elshorbagy called 

an attempted pick-up to be down to 

ensure that Rodriguez made history. 

“I think everything was mental, I dreamed 

it,” said Rodriguez after claiming the 

27th and biggest PSA World Tour title of 

his career. 

“I had emotions during the week but 

I am just speechless. I’m so grateful 

for this opportunity to win this major 

tournament, the greatest of all time. I’m 

so proud of myself, this is for my parents, 

my family and Colombia. 

“It’s huge, this is like winning the 

‘Wimbledon of Squash’. No one in South 

America has achieved this before, I’m a 

legend I think I can say. I couldn’t believe 

that I was able to fight with a top player 

like Mohamed, he has achieved so many 

titles. I can’t believe that I am 32 years 

old and I just won the British Open.” 

Women’s World No.1 El Sherbini claimed 

her second British Open title from three 

finals after the 22-year-old produced a 

scintillating performance to overcome 

compatriot and reigning World 

Champion Raneem El Welily in straight 

games, avenging her defeat to the 

29-year-old in the final of the El Gouna 

International which preceded the UK’s 

premier squash tournament. 

The pair were meeting in a fifth major 

final of the season with each player taking 

two wins apiece. El Sherbini became the 

first female Egyptian to win the British 

Open in 2016 and had also reached the 

final in 2012 at the age of just 16, while 

29-year-old El Welily contested the title 

decider of the iconic tournament for the 

first time in her career. 

The younger Egyptian prevailed 11-6 

11-9 14-12 in 47 minutes to win her 16th 

PSA crown. 

“The British Open is the biggest 

tournament on tour, it was an honour to 

win it once and now I have two and I’m 

really proud,” said El Sherbini.

Marwan ElShorbagy and Raneem El Welily were crowned champions 

at the 2018 El Gouna International with respective victories over Ali 

Farag and Nour El Sherbini in contrasting all-Egyptian finals at the PSA 

World Series tournament held in El Gouna’s marina. 

World Champion El Welily came back 

from a game down to defeat the World 

No.1 as the Alexandria-born 29-yearold 

played some spellbinding squash to 

take a 2-1 lead. However, the mercurial 

Egyptian required five match balls to 

eventually overcome her determined 

compatriot with El Sherbini fighting back 

to force a tie-break. A crucial tin from the 

younger Egyptian handed the initiative 

back to El Welily who was eventually 

able to convert and claim the title with a 

memorable 5-11 11-8 11-3 14-12 victory. 

“What a match that was, Nour played 

fantastic and was fighting back all the 

way to the end,” said El Welily. “Even at 

10-5 down at the end she wasn’t letting 

go all the way to 11-10. I still can’t believe 

that, last time it happened I lost that 

match so I’m very happy that I managed 

to win it at the end.” 

Marwan ElShorbagy claimed the first 

World Series title of his career after 

he overwhelmed Farag to complete a 

comfortable 39-minute victory. 

The 24-year-old had won three of their 

preceding five matches on the PSA 

World Tour, with all their previous 

meetings coming in semi-finals, 

including last year’s AJ Bell PSA World 

Championships in Manchester where 

ElShorbagy came through a dramatic 

five-game, 75-minute thriller. 

But ElShorbagy was rarely troubled 

by an out-of-sorts Farag, playing an 

impeccable match and outclassing 

his compatriot to take an 11-8 11-5 11-4 

victory to win a World Series final at 

the third attempt, and join his brother 

Mohamed among the list of previous El 

Gouna International winners. 

“To win my first ever World Series title 

here in Egypt means a lot to me,” said 

ElShorbagy. “Especially to win it here at 

home means the world. I’m so happy, I’m 

over the moon and I can’t even describe 

how I feel. 

“I’ve lost a few major finals before, but 

coming into this one I just had to learn 

from the losses I had and I had to be 

more relaxed and more focused. Me and 

my coach put a good game plan together 

before the match.”

WORLD’S FIRST PUBLIC OUTDOORS 

COURT OPENS IN NYC 

NEWYORKCITYWELCOMESWORLD’SFIRST 

PUBLICOUTDOORSQUASHCOURT 

The recent unveiling of the world’s first public squash court in New 

York City has generated considerable public interest in the US city. 

The pioneering project is the initiative of the Public Squash Foundation, 

whose goal is to offer free access to squash in public places. 

The inaugural all-glass court, manufactured by ASB Squash, 

is modelled on the ASB ShowGlassCourt used at top tier 

PSA World Tour events, WSF World Championships and 

Commonwealth Games around the world - but modified for 

the outdoors. 

The new court, at Hamilton Fish Park on Lower East Side, 

was officially opened by NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell 

Silver. Installed on one of the park’s four handball courts, the 

squash court is the latest addition to the NYC Parks’ Adopt-a- 

Park program. 

ASB will continue its cooperation with the World Squash 

Federation (WSF) and Professional Squash Association (PSA) 

to encourage other cities, local federations and communities in 

the US and around the world to follow the breakthrough New 

York example. 

“It is exciting to work with Public Squash to bring an amenity 

as unique as outdoor squash to one of our city parks,” said 

Commissioner Silver at the launch. “Athletic activity benefits 

us mentally and physically; and falling in love with a sport like 

squash can expose us to worlds we may never have otherwise 

come into contact with.” 

Ryan Wall, director of Public Squash, added: “Bringing squash 

outside, and making it free to the public, is the best way to give 

access to all, and increase the visibility of the game.” 

In a news story in the New York Times, under the headline 

Squash Without the Ceiling, New York stylist Danielle Brown 

told reporter Amy Sohn: “It’s amazing being outside… the 

whole community has been dying for this. I like it better than 

playing inside.” 

ASB US Consultant Conor O’Malley explained: “There are 

several key ingredients needed for any successful project to 

come together; you need the right timing, partners, patience 

and perseverance. So, this is really a story of triumph for the 

squash community brought about by Public Squash Foundation, 

ASB, NYC Parks & Recreation Department - and, of course, 

made possible by the generous supporters. 

“We hope this is the just the beginning of more courts and more 

cities embracing this Public Squash movement,” added the 

former US Squash Vice President. 

Tommy Berden, the PSA’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “As 

Squash is bidding for inclusion in the Olympic Programme, the 

opening of a public outdoor squash court in New York serves as 

a strong example of the value that squash can bring to a host 

city, by easily and efficiently integrating with the modern urban 

landscapes and lifestyles. 

“I am convinced that the new court will further contribute to 

enhance the image of the iconic East Village known for its 

diverse, dynamic and artistic community and will become a 

popular sport venue for the locals.” 





JAMESWILLSTROP&JOELLEKING 

WINCOMMONWEALTHGAMESGOLD 

It was third time lucky for two times runner-up James Willstrop who 

won the Gold Medal in the Men’s Singles at the 2018 Commonwealth 

Games at Oxenford Studios in Gold Coast, Australia, whilst Joelle King 

ensured that England and New Zealand shared the glory with victory in 

the final of the Women’s Singles. 

Willstrop, the fourth seeded Englishman, 

prevailed in straight games over New 

Zealand’s No.2 seed Paul Coll. 

Both players had endured arduous routes 

to the final - Willstrop denying home 

interest in the later stages by beating 

top Australian Cameron Pilley in an 

enthralling 95-minute quarter-final battle 

and Coll surviving a 106-minute semi-final 

clash with Welshman Joel Makin less than 

24 hours before the final. 

Willstrop was in imperious form in the 

final, claiming his first straight games win 

since the opening round by beating Coll 

11-9 11-4 11-6 in just 47 minutes. 

“It just clicked for me in the final,” 

admitted the 34-year-old Englishman. 

“It’s stuff you dream of. It’s one of the 

most brilliant performances I’ve had in 

my career. It just worked and it clicked. I 

don’t know why, maybe the hours of solo 

practice I’ve put in all my life. 

“It’s an incredible thing and one of my 

best performances. I love playing the 

game and four years ago there were some 

doubts about that. I can’t really process 

it to be honest, being here with a Gold 

Medal in the singles ... 

“Is it my biggest title? I guess it is. I 

reckon it probably is the best. It’s a 

wonderful occasion - and the atmosphere 

and everything around it adds to it.” 

King became New Zealand’s first ever 

Singles Gold Medallist when she beat 

England’s Sarah-Jane Perry in a closefought 

Women’s Singles final. 

Fourth seed Perry had two games balls in 

the first, but it was King who closed out 

her fourth game ball to win the opener 

16-14. The New Zealander opened a twogame 

lead but Perry dug deep to draw 

level and force a decider, but from eightall 

in the fifth, it was King who moved 

ahead to clinch a dramatic 16-14 11-8 6-11 

11-13 11-8 victory in 78 minutes. 

“It feels pretty good,” acknowledged 

the Kiwi on winning her country’s first 

squash Gold Medal. “We’ve had some 

great names that have come through the 

squash community from New Zealand and 





It just clicked for me in the final. It’s stuff you dream of. 

It’s one of the most brilliant performances I’ve had in my 

career. It just worked and it clicked. I don’t know why, maybe 

the hours of solo practice I’ve put in all my life 

JAMES WILLSTROP 

no-one’s managed to do it yet - so it’s a 

privilege, to be honest, to be the first one 

to do it and I’m just looking forward to 

celebrating with my teammates. 

The Bronze Medal matches in the Men’s 

and Women’s’ Singles proved to be 

equally dramatic and emotionally-charged. 

The women’s clash saw Malaysian Nicol 

David, the long-time World No.1 and Gold 

Medallist in 2010 and 2014, take on fastrising 

Welsh star Tesni Evans. 

Undaunted by a 4/0 career head-to-head 

record in the 34-year-old Malaysian’s 

favour, sixth seed Evans delivered a 

scintillating performance to see off her 

illustrious rival and No.3 seed 11-7 3-11 

12-10 11-7. 

“It’s truly amazing - unbelievable really - 

I’m absolutely over the moon,” exclaimed 

Evans. “To beat someone like Nicol for the 

Bronze Medal is just out of this world. If 

you’d asked me ten years ago, five years 

ago, I never would have thought I would 

beat her. She’s an absolute legend. That’s 

the first time I’ve ever beaten her so 

that’s extra special as well. 

“I’ve gone from the bottom of the scale to 

the top of the scale, literally. I was really 

down after my semi-final match - but 

thank you to Dave Evans and my team, 

they really picked me up. They made me 

just realise where I am and that I still had 

a medal to fight for. 

The first Games medal for Wales for 20 

years was greeted with delight by National 

Coach David Evans. “It’s an amazing result 

for Tesni and Welsh squash, getting a 

medal in the Commonwealth Games,” said 

the former British Open champion. “The 

last one was in 1998 with Alex Gough, so 

to get a medal is unbelievable. 

“But more, to beat Nicol - who we’ve all 

got so much respect for, with what she’s 

achieved. For Tesni to beat Nicol to get a 

Bronze just adds a little bit extra to it.” 

Malaysia took Bronze in the Men’s Singles 

play-off where 12th seed Nafiizwan Adnan 

beat Welshman Joel Makin, the No.11 seed, 

11-7 6-11 9-11 11-4 11-5 in 81 minutes. 

“It was the biggest ever match I’ve ever 

played - it was enormous,” explained 

Adnan. “I can’t believe it, I was so 

nervous. I’m the first male player in 

Malaysia to win a medal - I am very proud, 

not just for myself but for my team. 

Everyone’s behind me - my coach and the 

support team. Every day we prepare - so I 

want to give to them.”

COMMONWEALTH GAMES DOUBLES GLORY 

DAVIDPALMER&JOELLEKINGSHARE 

COMMONWEALTHGAMESDOUBLESGLORY 

It was fitting that the final match on the final day of 11 days of intense 

Commonwealth Games Squash competition produced a second Gold 

Medal for hosts Australia - when David Palmer & Zac Alexander held off 

English rivals Daryl Selby & Adrian Waller in a thrilling near-hour-long Men’s 

Doubles climax which went the full distance. 

But it was New Zealander Joelle King 

who topped the individual medals table 

after striking Gold in the Women’s 

Doubles, to add to her Singles Gold and 

Mixed Doubles Bronze. 

It was almost certainly the farewell 

Games performance of veteran 

campaigner Palmer, the 41-year-old 

former World No.1 from New South 

Wales who has featured in the sport’s 

six appearances in the Commonwealth 

Games since 1998 and has now extended 

his record medals haul to nine. 

Palmer & Alexander, the fifth seeds, 

reached the final of the Men’s Doubles 

after seeing off both the second and third 

seeds - and took the opening game of the 

final against the English No.7 seeds. 

But the tables were turned in the 

second when Selby and Waller levelled 

the match, for the loss of just three 

points. The home favourites regrouped, 

changing their tactics early in the 

decider before delighting the loud and 

capacity crowd with their 57-minute 11-9 

3-11 11-6 victory. 

“I said from day one, a year and a half 

ago, when I said I wanted to play, I wasn’t 

just here to make the numbers up - I still 

felt, deep down, that if things went my 

way I had a chance,” said Palmer. 

“It’s been great with Zac. We rode under 

the radar a little bit as fifth seeds. The 

draw went our way. We snuck through 

and stepped it up when we needed to - in 

the quarter-finals we beat New Zealand, 

and it was great as we took care of the 

Scottish team in the semi-finals. 

I said from day one, a year and a half ago, when I said 

I wanted to play, I wasn’t just here to make the numbers 

up - I still felt, deep down, that if things went my way I 

had a chance

“It maybe wasn’t our best squash in the 

final - but they made it difficult for us, the 

way they played. But we found a way.” 

Joelle King partnered Amanda Landers- 

Murphy to an 11-9 11-8 win over Joshna 

Chinappa & Dipika Pallikal Karthik in the 

final of the Women’s Doubles 

It was the climax of an arduous 11 days 

for 29-year-old King whose tally is now 

five medals over three Games since 2010. 

“When you play such a big match, on such 

an occasion - against a quality team - and 

come out on top, it’s unbelievable,” said 

King. “I’m on cloud nine at the moment. 

“Probably a year ago, three medals 

would have been beyond my wildest 

dreams - but the way this year has been 

going, I wanted three golds to be honest. 

But to come away with two Golds and a 

Bronze is pretty amazing.” 

Cameron Pilley & Donna Urquhart 

Win Mixed Doubles Gold Medal 

Cameron Pilley and Donna Urquhart, 

an Australian pairing that had only 

been together for eight months prior to 

the Commonwealth Games, won Gold 

after winning the Mixed Doubles final in 

straight games in front of a capacity and 

partisan crowd. 

The fourth seeds made their 

breakthrough in the semi-finals when 

they despatched second-seeded English 

pair Alison Waters and Daryl Selby. Their 

opponents in the final also pulled off a 

semi-final upset - Dipika Pallikal Karthik 

and Saurav Ghosal, an Indian pairing 

celebrating their second successive 

partnership in the Commonwealth 

Games, surviving a dramatic third game 

tie-break against the event favourites. 

But, buoyed by the crowd, Urquhart and 

Pilley, first cousins who hail from Yamba 

in New South Wales, defeated the Indian 

pairing 11-8 11-10 in 31 minutes to claim 

the first squash medal for the hosts on 

Gold Coast. 

“It feels amazing,” said Pilley, who 

became the first player to win three 

Commonwealth Games Doubles Gold 

Medals. “Every other gold I’ve won is 

so special. But to play in front of such 

a great Aussie crowd is something we 

never get the opportunity to do. So to do 

it in front of all your friends and family 

who never get to see you play - and we 

walk away with a gold medal - it makes it 

even better!” 

Probably a year ago, three medals would have been 

beyond my wildest dreams - but the way this year has been 

going, I wanted three golds to be honest. But to come away 

with two Golds and a Bronze is pretty amazing

BARCELONAGLOBALSQUASH 

Barcelona Global Squash continues to grow from strength to 

strength and is increasingly recognised as one of Europe’s most 

attractive training destinations for young players wishing to make the

BIOMETRIC DATA PROVIDES 

VALUABLE PLAYER INSIGHTS 

BIOMETRICDATA 

PROVIDESVALUABLEINSIGHTS 

The Professional Squash Association (PSA) has released new data 

captured through innovative partnerships with Sports Data Labs and 

interactiveSquash that suggests squash could be the most physically 

demanding racket sport in the world. 

Through the use of pioneering new 

technology, data captured during recent 

PSA World Tour events in Chicago, 

Sweden and Zurich saw player heart 

rates regularly exceeding 190bpm - with 

players covering up to five kilometres in 

a single match, combined with hundreds 

of lunges, multi-directional movements 

and explosive bursts of acceleration. 

For the first time quantifying the 

physicality of top flight squash, 

the data has shone a light on the 

supreme physical demands required 

of professional squash players when 

competing at the sport’s elite level - 

whilst reinforcing squash’s position as 

one of the healthiest sports in the world. 

The data has simultaneously placed 

squash at the forefront of conversations 

surrounding biometric data with Sports 

Data Labs tracking player heart-rate data 

in real-time, providing it for in-broadcast 

use to improve viewer experience and 

translate the intensity of lengthy rallies, 

and the players’ recovery abilities, into 

homes around the world - emphasising 

the sport’s commitment to enhancing 

athletes’ and viewers’ experiences, 

a cornerstone as squash vies to be 

included in the Olympic programme. 

Their systems saw players peaking 

regularly between 190-199 bpm - with the 

average recorded heart rate throughout 

the monitoring period 171 bpm. The 

data, which offers a true glimpse into 

the minute-by-minute exertions placed 

on a player, is set to be available for 

commercial activation in the near future. 

During an average 52-minute match, 

players can expect to cover 2.5 

kilometres, execute over 100 lunges and 

strike the ball over 500 times - with the 

ball in play 63 per cent of the time for 

an average of 33 minutes - a figure that 

pushes squash towards the very top of 

the relative time-in-play tables. 

“Squash has long had a reputation as 

one of, if not the single most demanding 

racket sport out there courtesy of 

the complex movements required and 

the repeated bursts of short, intense 

action with little rest periods - without 

mentioning the mental focus and 

concentration needed to compete at the 

elite level,” said PSA COO Lee Beachill. 

“That reputation is one that we have 

lacked the ability to directly translate 

to fans and viewers in the past. But the 

trials we have run with Sports Data Labs 

and interactiveSquash have allowed us to 

develop a true understanding of players’ 

movement and relative fitness for the 

very first time, which goes a long way 

to help illustrate the physicality of the 

sport - and reinforce the health benefits 

associated with playing the game at the 

amateur level. 

“The numbers we have seen have made 

for compelling reading. To see players 

covering over one kilometre in a single 

game is staggering. That movement 

is made up entirely of three-six meter 

sprints, of which 30-40 per cent is a 

backwards movement, followed by a 

lunge or dynamic movement before 

striking the ball - a movement which in 

itself requires precise timing, strength 

and deft motor skills. 

“We’re hugely excited about what this 

data can mean for squash moving 

forward and the next step for us is to 

fully integrate the technology into our 



BIOMETRIC DATA PROVIDES 

VALUABLE PLAYER INSIGHTS 

broadcast programming and social 

media channels in real-time to add a new 

dimension to the sport and enhance the 

experience for players and fans alike 

whilst also exploring the commercial 

opportunities that accompany these kind 

of data streams.” 

Sports Data Labs President & Co-Founder 

Stan Mimoto said: “Sporting associations, 

media organisations and fans alike are 

demanding new forms of data to enhance 

both the viewer and player experience. 

We’re delighted to be working with the 

PSA to help bring squash to life with the 

addition of real-time human data that 

helps illustrate just how demanding the 

sport is. 

“We have seen first-hand that the 

data can greatly enhance the viewer 

experience and add a new layer to the 

broadcast production. It also allows 

players to gain greater insight into 

their own body which can be 

utilized in a number of 

different ways to improve 

their overall training and 

levels of play. 

In addition to player performance, we are 

excited that our technology opens up an 

entirely new commercial marketplace for 

the sport.” 

The interactiveSquash system, developed 

in partnership with ASB Squash Court, 

records player movement, gathers 

distance and movement patterns, while 

plans are in place to expand the tracking 

system to record data such as ball speed 

and swing speed - metrics which would 

yield a greater insight into the demands 

of playing at the top level. 

interactiveSquash founder Markos Kerns 

said: “It is hugely exciting for us to be 

involved in this new step for squash. 

“Gathering performance-based data 

showcases just how phenomenal these 

athletes are and we are thrilled to be at 

the cutting edge of this new development 

in squash. 

“It is one of the fastest and most 

dynamic sports in the world and it takes 

an exceptional talent to compete at the 

very elite level. It takes an extraordinary 

athlete and talent to win at this level and 

we look forward to working closely with 

the PSA to develop the technology even 

further in the coming months.”

Q&A: GEORGE PARKER 

GEORGEPARKER 

Parker 

talks with 

International 

Q&AGeorge 

Squash Magazine. 

Earliest sporting memory: 

My dad first introduced me to squash 

and I can still remember winning my first 

title. Leicester County Squash Champion 

aged 8! 

Sports Watched: 

Rugby, football, NBA, athletics and 

squash. 

Sports Played: 

Rugby, football and squash. 

Why a life sport, or if it hadn’t 

happened, what would you have done 

instead? 

I chose sport because I love the feeling 

of improving and hate losing. If I wasn’t 

in squash I’d still be doing something 

physical, something like personal 

training or coaching. 

Toughest part of your sporting life? 

Life as a young professional sportsman 

like myself can sometimes be very 

lonely and keeping confident after 

a bad loss and travelling away from 

home for long periods of time can be 

difficult, particularly when you’re visiting 

countries and places for the first time. 

Most memorable sporting moment: 

Winning the European U19 

Championships in Prague in 2015. I 

was the No.1 seed and favourite for the 

men’s individual title but had a tough 

match in the final against Edmon Lopez 

of Spain who wasn’t seeded to reach the 

final but took me to five games. 

Worst sporting moment: 

Not being able to play squash last 

year whilst I served a PSA ban. Being 

aggressive on court is a big part of my 

game but time away from the sport 

made me realise how much I love squash 

and has taught me to try and channel 

my aggression properly to get the best 

out of myself. I’m not perfect and it’s 

still work in progress but I do feel that 

I’m getting a better balance on court. 

Sporting heroes: 

Roger Federer and Nick Matthew. 

Favourite venue and why? 

Bankers Hall Club in Calgary. I played 

and won there earlier this year. The 

city is amazing and the people were so 

friendly. 

Sporting event you would pay the 

most to see: 

I love athletics and the 100 meters is 

my favourite event. Usain Bolt is an 

absolute legend! 

And to miss: Bowls or Archery 

Question asked most often by the 

public: 

Is squash that sport where you hit it 

against the wall?! 

And the answer: YES. 

Greatest change you would like to see 

in the running of the sport: 

Watching the Commonwealth Games 

this year made me realise just how 

important it is for squash to be part of 

the Olympic Games. The Olympics could 

take the sport to another level and 

help attract more players and hopefully 

youngsters from a less fortunate 

background. 

How well is your sport covered in the 

media? 

Not great. It’s covered well on YouTube 

and SquashTV but that’s about it. 

Sporting motto: 

Stay positive and keep focused. 

Who would you most like to invite to 

dinner and why? 

Mike Tyson. I’d love to hear about all his 

great fights and experiences. I’m sure he 

could teach me how to be fearless! And 

of course, Rob Owen – I’d let him choose 

the wine!
