The Boston Open returns again this year to the BSPA tour, and is again the longest running event on the tour this being our 11th year. Records of the finals from the previous ten tournaments... Although the draw this year is down in quantity, the quality of players remains as impressive as ever for a small club in Lincolnshire! In fact, the absence of a round of 64 is quite a relief after last year’s 5 ½ hour marathon over all 5 courts which resulted in 96 games over 27 matches on a Thursday night. In the women’s event, world #7 Vicky Botwright heads the draw, having replaced Tania Bailey who withdrew a couple of days after the draw was released through injury. The loss of the Lincolnshire world #5 may have been slightly disappointing to most, but they could be consolidated by another top drawer player as a substitute. On the other hand I already knew we were having two A1 posters featuring Tania printed! Her sister Becky BotMen’s #1 seed wright, world #36 is the second Bradley Ball seed, and is a European Club Team Champion with Pontefract, along with Sarah Bowles and ¾ seed Deon Saffery. The 2005 quarter-finalist Fiona Moverley completes the seeds in the women’s draw. On to the men’s draw, and as previously mentioned, although quantity of entries is down from last year’s record breaking totals, quality is as high as ever. If the event goes to seeding, which it very rarely seems to do, then we will have a very tight final between world #30 Bradley Ball from Ipswich and world #31 Daryl Selby from Essex. Scott Handley, who last year beat Selby in the semi-finals is a ¾ seed again and after missing the event last year, 2005 semifinalist Andy Whipp returns as a ¾ seed. Peter Marshall, the 36 year old former world #2 from Nottingham is a notable 5/8 seed, as is Steve Meads, entering for the fourth year in succession, a semi-finalist last year and a former world #11. Mick Biggs from Surrey and David Barnett from Newcastle are the other 5/8 seeds.

As the longest running event on the BSPA tour, and in 2006 the first event on the circuit, it set a tone for a lot of things about the 2006/07 BSPA season. It saw a men’s round of 64, which led to a series of large entries for all the BSPA events that season and was the first tournament we saw then 15 year old Mohamed El Shorbagy in, who reached the quarters before going out to Simon Parke. El Shorbagy would prove something of a revelation throughout the season, regularly reaching the quarter finals of the following BSPA events. Starting on the evening of Thursday 7th December, the first round was the men’s first round, containing 27 matches, which translated into 96 games and 5 1/2 hours over all the five courts available. Cut. After that gruelling and hectic night, the competition was whittled down to eight left in each draw by the end of the Friday. The men’s second round saw top seed Simon Parke have to come from 2-0 down to beat Arthut Gaskin over five games. Over marathon matches included Nick Wall beating Kris Johnson, Tom Phipps beating Tom Pashley and Steve Coppinger defeating Stewart Crawford. Chorley 3/1 in closely-fought games, the highlight being a see-saw third game which Chorley eventually won 10/9. There were also comfortable passages through to the quarters for Leonie Holt, Victoria Lust and for seeds Kirsty McPhee, Emma Beddoes and Laura Hill. The men’s fight for the quarter-final places threw out some great matches. The aforementioned El Shorbagy staged a dramatic comeback to beat Ben Ford, at the other end of the age scale of professional squash players, 3/2. Another stunning match was Tom Richard’s eventual triumph over Steve Coppinger: 5/11, 7/11, 11/9, 11/8, 12/10. You might have thought Coppinger might have tired and faded away in the fifth after having won in five earlier in the day, but he ensured the game was as competitive as the previous four to finish a great match. Simon Parke got a bye, and John Rooney, Steve Meads, Scott Handley, Joel Hinds and Daryl Selby also all extended their stay to Saturday as well. On to Saturday, and the morning saw the quarter-finals. These were actually all relatively simple affairs. An obviously experiences and steady Parke ended the run of El Shorbagy 3/0, after losing a hard-fought first game Steve Meads triumphed over John Rooney while Scott Handley and Daryl Then, in came the women’s draw, the first Selby both scored 3/0 wins. round being a draw of 16.

After a break for a local match of the round was top seed Domi- junior tournament, the semi-finals began in nique Lloyd-Walter’s beating of Emma the evening to decide who would be in the finals on Sunday. A quick-tempo and impressive Simon Parke beat 3/4 seed Steve Meads to 2, 4 and 6 while an also impressive Scott Handley upset the seedings by beating Daryl Selby 12/10, 11//6, 11/6. After losing a close first game, top women’s Dominique Lloyd-Walter beat Kirsty McPhee 3/1 while on the other court Laura Hill beat Emma Beddoes 9/1, 9/2, 9/3. And then came Sunday. At long last, all the matches had came down to just two to decide the champions. The first final was the women’s. And it was long and attritional. Both players’ refusal to lose a rally by not reaching a ball resulted in long drawn out rallies. Second seed Laura Hill must have been doing something right, as she managed to win the majority of these rallies to record a 72 minute 9/4, 4/9, 9/7, 9/3 victory. The weekend of squash then concluded with the men’s final. Top seed and last year’s runner-up Simon Parke vs Scott Handley, the 3/4 seed and world top 50 player. Parke played at a brisk pace for the first two games, but admitted that it may have taken it out of him a bit physically. “However, in the fifth I got off to a good start and just controlled it. There were no close games, one of us dominated each other really…” just about summed it up from Parkie - 11/3, 11/4, 5/11, 6/11, 11/1 was his winning score.

The news that was of interest to them related to the entry of the prestigious British Closed Championships in January 1993. In previous year (as far back as I could remember) it had always been perceived as the ‘blue ribbon’ event in the UK. Indeed in all of the recent years it had been played on the innovative Perspex court, with a suitably enticing prize fund that attracted all the top players from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales. It projected the feel of a priceless jewel at the pinnacle of squash in England. Luz Etchechoury 16.00 Sarah Bowles 17.00 Leonie Holt 16.00 Kimberley Hay 16.45 11.0 0 Claire Kidd In Hong Kong, the British players were ready to enter the British Closed once again. When the fax came through from the English SRA (now England Squash), who were always organisers of the event, a wave of disbelief went through the British camp. Surely this couldn’t be… The English SRA had taken it upon themselves to reduce the British Closed, is flagship event, to an unacceptable level. It was proposing: 15.00 Fiona Moverley (3/4) 16.45 11.4 5 Lauren Selby 16.45 Olivia Blatchford 17.45 Victoria Lust 20.45 Sarah-Jane Perry Lisa Aitken/ Ana Kardar (17.30) 20.45 at the time) took the mantle and led what the press immediately labelled ‘the rebellion’. The only way the players had a chance to air their view and be noticed was to act as one unit. There was nothing in place at this stage which could help the players. Hence it was Chris Walker and Tony Hands that took it upon themselves to co-ordinate the movement. The first thing they did was to gather all the players’ signatures to show that there was a commitment to the cause and, to cover and administration costs, a fee of ££0 was also collected. This group of the majority of the top 20 players in the country acting as a body, behind the leadership of Messrs Hands and Walker, proved to be a force that the English SRA had to listen to. Negotiations began, and to cut a long story short, it was mutually agreed that the players would not have to compete in order to qualify to represent England. Epilogue Deon Saffery (3/4) Belen Etchechoury It was 1992, the start of another season, and we had just begun the Asian circuit. The troops had gathered in Hong Kong, for, what is widely agreed to be one of the players’ favourite events on the calendar. As was common then, and is still practised now, players were catching up with events relevant to their home countries through the use of the Hong Kong SRA fax machines. 11.4 5 Final result: The BSPA was formed and nurtured by Hands and Walker.

Currently Amr Shabana has a tiny lead of one point over his Egyptian compatriot Ramy Ashour. However, with Shabana having won three major events in a row the Saudi International, Qatar Classic and Hong Kong Open and Ashour having missed some events due to injury, this gap is likely to widen a bit with the new rankings. Over the last year David Palmer has slipped to fourth due to the gains of Gaultier and Ashour. James Willstrop is the leading Englishman - just. Nick Matthew will have gained a lot of points for his victory in the US Open in New York, but so would have Willstrop - the runnerup in an all-English final. Matthew would have also dropped points for not retaining his British Open title in September which was claimed by Gregory Gaultier of France. Up until recently, Nicol David’s dominance at the top of the women’s level was almost becoming ridiculous. She was presented with a cake to celebrate 50 consecutive wins. Ironically, that was now of course run seems to be ending. In the World Open in Madrid, she was knocked out in the second round by Kiwi Shelley Kitchen. In a final that was contested between the Grinham sisters, Rachel beat Natalie 3-0 to win the world crown. Before that, Natalie Grinham had also defeated David in the final of the British Open in September. However, since then David has bagged a couple of victories in Hong Kong and Qatar. Egypt’s strong presence in the rankings has earned them the topseeding spot for the World Men’s Teams Championships coming up in Chennai. The BSPA Boston Open 2007 - Page 18 The BSPA Boston Open 2007 - Page 19 Summary of squash Basics and the Court Squash is a sport played with a racket and a ball. It is usually played between two people, although it is possible to practice on your own or to play doubles. Squash is played by hitting the ball with a racket to the front wall, via any of the other walls. The ball must stay within the court markings (boundaries). In squash, the 'line' is out. The front wall has three lines on it. From the bottom upwards these are: 1. The 'tin.' If a shot hits the front wall below the tin, it is 'out' and the opponent wins the point. The line for the tin is often extruding from the wall - so a shot that is 'down' will deviate off at an angle, making it easier to call, and the area below the line will usually be a different material so making a different sound when hit. 2. The service line. This line is midway up the wall. Serves must be over this line. This line will be a tape coloured differently to the wall. 3. The upper line. Anything over or on this line is out. Like the service line, this will usually be a differently-coloured tape, but it can occasionally be a metal that makes a different noise when clipped. The side and back walls both only have one line: the upper one, of which the same rules apply as the front wall upper line. On the side walls, this line gradients downwards, so the upper line on the back wall is lower than the front wall upper line. Scoring Squash can be scored in two ways. In the Traditional (“English”) method you play up to 9 points, the player who reached 9 points first wins the game. If the scores reach 8/8, the person who reached 8 first (the receiver when the score reaches 8/8) shall call "Set 1" in which case you play to 9 or "Set 2" in which case you play to 10. In English scoring, you have to be serving to win a point. The server is the person who won the last point. To decide the server at the start, you either spin a racket or flip a coin. Point a Rally Scoring (“American”) is similar with a few differences. You play up to 11 or 15 (usually 15 at club level) and you can score a point regardless of whether you are serving or not. If the scores reach 11/11 or 14/14, you should play to 2 clear point, e.g. 13/11, 18/16. In both forms of scoring, you usually play best of 5 games (i.e. first to win 3 games wins the match) but for 'friendly' games you can play best of 3. Balls In squash, there are multiple types of ball. Disregarding the ultra-bouncy blue ball for beginners, there are 4 types of ball, which can be identified by the colour of the dot on them: Blue: this is the bounciest and fastest of the balls. Red: this is bouncy and quick. Yellow: this is where the balls become less bouncy and slower. Double-yellow: the most commonly used (at Boston!), this is the least bouncy and slowest ball. As the ball 'warms up' they become more bouncy and quicker. There are different types of ball to help you play at your level. If you have problems with a doubleyellow, move down to the yellow, or viceversa if you find it easy. Lets and Strokes Lets and strokes are one of the most complicated things in the game, although they are important as they are for the players' safety. A let or a stroke occurs when a player feels that their ability to play the ball is obstructed. A let is playing the point again. A stroke is awarding the claiming player the point. A let or stroke is claimed by saying "Let please!" To gain a let, the situation should meet the following criteria: 1. The obstructed player could have reached the ball and made every effort to do so. 2. The obstructed player stopped rather than claim a let after playing on. 3. The obstruction was due to the striker's opponent, NOT the obstructed player. The gain a stroke, the situation should meet one of the following criteria: 1. The obstructing player did not make an effort to clear for the striker to play. 2. The obstructed player could not have a reasonable swing. The obstructed player would have been in a winning position. 3. The ball would have struck the obstructing player on it's way to the front or side wall. Hitting the Opponent This is one of the most tricky situations to officiate, and has been subject to rule changes. If Player A hits Player B with the ball before it reaches the front wall, they (Player A) shall be awarded a stoke if the ball would have hit the front wall and if it would not have hit any other walls (side or back) first. If it would have hit the front wall, but only via the side or back walls, a let is to be played. If it would not have hit the front wall, 'Player B' wins the point. However, that is all assuming the player has not 'turned.' Turning is when the ball passes Player A's left, but Player A plays it to his right. If Player A hits Player B after he (Player A) has turned, a stroke is awarded to Player B. More detailed rules can be found on www.squashsite.co.uk and clicking on ‘Useful Info’.
