13th PSA El Gouna International Squash Open

The 13th PSA El Gouna International Squash Open gets underway today, with the event seeing the world’s best players compete for the Platinum-level titles.

Karakal stars Joel Makin and Greg Lobban will compete in the men's event, alongside 30 of the World's top players, all looking to score valuable points to progress up the PSA World rankings.

The event will be played across two venues: The El Gouna Squash Complex for side court action and the El Gouna Conference and Culture Center for glass court action.

This season’s new format of 32 draws for Platinum events has made for a number of exciting first-round fixtures for the Egyptian crowd to enjoy. Greg faces Iker Pajares of Spain, whilst 4th seed Joel will do battle with Declan James of England.

In the women’s event, top seed and World No.1 Nouran Gohar will be looking to claim her third El Gouna International title in a row.
