Busy times ahead

This next period up until Christmas is a pretty busy one for the squash world. I've got 5 more events which I'm playing before I head back to Oz for the 'festive period'. I can't wait to get home and chill out for a bit really. It will have been a hectic few months by the time I get home. I think I'll be playing some golf, having a surf and relaxing...
Next up is the Qatar Classic which starts on the 27th. I've got Mr Lincou first round which will be a tough one, but I've never played him before so i'm looking forward to it.
The bulk of my training is basically done for the year as we pretty much travel from tournament to tournament from now on. If I have a week or 2 without an event then you still train but it's just to keep you sharp and on your toes. You don't want to be ruining your body right before the tournament. With 5 days before I play, preparation starts now.

World Open is on!

With the World Open qualifying starting on the 11th of October, all eyes are going to be on Manchester and some of the world's best athletes. There's going to be some great matches during the week long tournament as all the players are no doubt trying to peak for the event. I'm heading there on the 12th and due to play a qualifier first round, with a possible meeting with the young fella Ramy Ashour in the 2nd round.

Shabana is the defending champ but there's so many players who can win the title. There's guys who seem to do well in every world open and there's guys who are hitting form at the right time. Should be an interesting fight for the title....
