Gaultier Tops Zurich Grasshopper Cup Draw by Nathan Clarke 10TH MAR 2015
- World No.2 Gregory Gaultier will be favourite to claim a 29th career
PSA World Tour title when the 2015 Grasshopper Cup, PSA International
70, tournament gets underway in Zurich on Wednesday April 15.
The maverick Frenchman has failed to add to his career tally since
winning the 2014 NetSuite Open but he’ll be hungry to return to winning
ways when the tournament moves to the new all-glass court at the city’s
stunning Giessereihalle Puls 5 venue but with six of the world’s top
ten players, including 2014 World Champion Ramy Ashour, all in
contention, it promises to be an electric week in Switzerland.
Home favourite Nicolas Mueller will take on Ashour in the first round,
when he’ll be hoping to spring a huge upset, while wildcard Reiko Peter
faces a tough task against World No.9 Simon Rösner in one of the
toughest 16-man draws seen on tour this year.
And with Miguel Angel Rodriguez, Tarek Momen, Borja Golan, Mathieu
Castagnet and Omar Mosaad also all in contention, Swiss squash fans
will be in for a treat of top class action.
The full main draw is as follows.
