September 16, 2015 -
The draws for the 2015 Delaware Investments US Open - the first PSA
World Series event of the 2015/16 season - has been released and will
see some of the top stars on the PSA World Tour pitted against each
other from the off in what promises to be a dramatic week of action
across both the men’s and women’s tours.
Philadelphia’s Drexel University will play host to the week-long event
which gets underway on October 10, when World No.1s Mohamed Elshorbagy
and Raneem El Welily will begin their campaigns against potentially
tricky opposition in the form of Cesar Salazar and Emily Whitlock,
respectively.
In the men’s draw defending champion Elshorbagy will be pleased to see
championship rivals Nick Matthew, the World No.2, Gregory Gaultier, the
World No.3 and World No.4 Miguel Angel Rodriguez all drawn against
difficult first round opposition in the form of top 25 players Chris
Simpson, Saurav Ghosal and Stephen Coppinger.
In the women’s draw El Welily will be hoping to add to the China Open
title she won earlier this month while defending champion Nicol David
will be aiming to make a successful return from injury to lift the
title for a fifth consecutive year but could face talented Egyptian
youngster Nouran Gohar - the 17-year-old that knocked her out of the
China Open at the quarter-final stage - in the second round of what is
a tough looking women’s draw,
