The Winners |
Palmer's on the
up
The world's top men
and women assembled at the spectacular Red Sea resort of Hurghada in Egypt
for the PSA Masters and WISPA Grand Prix Finals. Australia's David Palmer
gave a hint of what was to come, beating Peter Nicol in the quarters before
losing out to Power in the final. In the women's ... you know the story -
Sarah won without dropping a game.Bengy Boy top
ten
Jonathon Power
increased his lead over Peter Nicol, with Malaysia's Ong Beng Hee making a
top ten debut. In the Women's rankings it's still Lani, Carol then Sarah -
but the gap must be closing, surely ..
New Rules
The 2001 edition of the Rules of squash came into effect on the last day of
the month, with
changes to the 'turning' rule and a new 'minimal interference' definition
coming in. Worryingly, most visitors to the WorldSquash site professed to
know nothing about them. |
