J.P. Tournament of Champions 2023

The first Platinum PSA squash event of the year gets underway today as the 2023 J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions returns to the iconic Grand Central Terminal, Vanderbilt Hall in New York.

The event sees 96 of the world’s best squash players competing for a share of the $360,000 USD prize pot, which is split evenly between the men’s and women’s events.

Five further venues will be used at this year’s TOC, with action also taking place at the Harvard Club of New York, New York Athletic Club, Harmonie Club, The River Club of New York and Nicol Squash Club. Action from the glass court at Grand Central Terminal will be streamed live on SQUASH.TV from round two on Thursday 19th January, with the channels of the PSA’s broadcast partners also showing action from the semi-finals onwards.

With defending champion Ali Farag injured, this is an excellent opportunity for Karakal's Greg Lobban and Joel Makin to get 2023 off to a great start. Greg faces Balazs Farkas of Hungary in today's first round, whilst Joel receives a buy, courtesy of his top ten seeding.

In the women’s draw, World No.1 and top seed Nouran Gohar will look to defend her 2022 title, but unfortunately Karakal's Tesni Evans has had to pull out of the event due to illness and will be replaced by Latvian Ineta Mackevica.
