The 2002 and 2006 World Champion from Australia, who played his last competitive match on the PSA World Tour at the World Open in Rotterdam in November 2011, will be making his first appearance on the Legends of Squash Tour in the country where he lived for many years during his glittering professional career. The legendary Aussie, who now resides in the United States, will take on many-time Irish Champion Derek Ryan in his opening match.
Canada’s Jonathon Power, the 1998 World Champion who retired from the Tour when he was still ranked world number one, is seeded second, and will kick off his Namur Legends campaign with a duel against Scotland’s former world number four Martin Heath. Squash Superstar Peter Nicol who won Commonwealth Gold for both Scotland and England, will face business associate Tim Garner in the first round, while John White, the big-hitting former world number one from Australia, will take on Englishman Simon Parke in the final opening match.
The first round matches of the Namur Legends of Squash 2012, which is part of the Legends of Squash Tour organised by Eventis Sports Marketing and Event Engine Squash, will kick-off at 8.15pm on Friday May 25th. The four first round winners will proceed to the semi finals on Saturday, whilst the remaining four players will also compete over the next two days in the 5/8 Play-Offs matches to further entertain the crowd.
