Tuesday night saw the start of the a great evening - as Robert Edwards put it - we have a “glut of champions”.
The first player tonight had a very bad injury in 2003 - at the time he was ranked 4 in the world. His injury took him out for 2 years, and when he returned he won a number of tournaments in a row and jumped 279 places - he is now at 13 in the world. From Australia - Stewart Boswell. Our second opponent is “on a real mission” - to win this title so he can be ranked among the squash playing greats. In Egypt he is looked at like David Beckham - he is current World Number 1 - and has recently won in Saudi, Qatar and Hong Kong - he is, of course, Amr Shabana.
Edwards talks about squash in Egypt - he says that Shabana is one of the best players he has seen come out of Egypt. At the junior level Egyptians are also dominating. Stewart is also from a country of great squash players - Australia. The first match then begins.
