History Being Made
Posted by Tom Quinn on 25-Nov-2007Categories: News Add Trackback
In April 2004, an historic agreement with the Professional Squash Association (PSA) was signed. The agreement was for Bermuda to host the PSA Masters in 2005 and 2006, and then be home to the largest squash tournament in the world - the World Open Championships, in 2007.
After more than three years in the making, the opening ceremony of the Endurance World Open Bermuda 2007 will take place tonight at the custom-built venue at the Fairmont Southampton.
The action starts at 6pm with World number one and Masters Champion Amr Shabana taking on Frenchman Renan Lavigne. This will then be followed by local Bermuda wildcard James Stout playing Stewart Boswell of Australia - a match which will no doubt see Stout receive fantastic support from a partisan crowd in the 1400 seater arena overlooking the South Shore.
But there will be action earlier in the day as four matches take place at the Bermuda Squash Racquets Association (BSRA) at Devonshire, starting at midday.
