Illingworth Headlines Thin Men's Draw In Today's US Championships
from DailySquashReport.com

March 9, 2012
- Seven-time winner and world #28 Julian Illingworth of New York is the number one seed in the 14-player SL Green US Men's Championship, which begins today in Massachusetts at the Harvard University Murr Center.

The event is closed to non-US citizens.

Projected to meet Illingworth in the final is second-seeded Christopher Gordon of Long Island City, the PSA's 83rd-ranked player.

An anticipated potential SL Green meeting between Illingworth and rising Princeton star Todd Harrity, who took Illingworth to five in the semis of last year's tournament, will not occur because Harrity has instead committed to a doubles event in Philadelphia.

Illingworth and Gordon are currently the only two US men in the top 100 of the world rankings.

By contrast, England has 19 players in the top 100, and Egypt has 16.
