17-Apr, Quarters:
Ashour out in quarters
While the first three
quarter-finals in Zurich went according to the seedings with top

setting up a mouthwatering semi, fifth seed Simon Rosner, who
ended the run of qualifier Saurav Ghosal in four tough games, will
face unexpected opposition after Omar Mosaad put out fellow
Egyptian Ramy Ashour, the second-seeded world champion succumbing to
injury towards the end of their fourth game.

16-Apr, Round One,
Bottom:
Ashour comeback foils Swiss support
Ramy Ashour denied
the home fans in Zurich a victory to savour as the world champion
came from two games down to beat Swiss champion Nicolas Mueller.
He'll meet fellow Egyptian Omar Mosaad for a place in the
semis after the sixth seed eased past qualifier Alan Clyne in
straight games.
Simon Rosner also disappointed the home crowd as he beat
wildcard Reiko Peter, in straight games, and the German fifth seed
now meets qualifier Saurav Ghosal in the quarter-finals
after the speedy Indian scored a second successive upset win over
Tarek Momen, the fourth seed.
15-Apr, Round One, Top:
Selby gets Golan again in Zurich
The top half of the draw saw one upset as England's Daryl Selby
scored a second upset win over Borja Golan, the seventh seed, this
month. He'll play top seed Gregory Gaultier in the quarters
after the Frenchman beat Cameron Pilley in three close games.
THird seed Miguel Rodriguez came from a game down to beat LJ
Anjema, and he'll face Mathieu Castagnet after the eighth
seed did the same against compatriot Greg Marche.
14-Apr, Qualifying Finals:
First pair through to the main draw
are Saurav Ghosal with a 3-0 win over Olli Tuominen, and
LJ Anjema, beating Omar Abdel Meguid 3-1.
In the second set of matches Scotland's Alan Clyne came from
a game down to beat Tom Richards, and Greg Marche beat Shaun
Le Roux in straight games. ...
13-Apr, Qualifying Begins:
The first day of the Grasshopper
Cup saw eight qualifying matches, with wins for all the seeded
players as all the locals bowed out. Gaultier tops Grasshopper Cup draw
World No.2 Gregory Gaultier will be favourite to claim a 29th
career PSA title when the PSA $70k Grasshopper Cup gets underway in
Zurich.
The maverick Frenchman has failed to add to his title 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 Giessereihalle Puls 5 venue, but with six of the
world's top ten, including 2014 World Champion and newly
re-crowned El Gouna Ramy
Ashour, all in contention, it promises to be an exciting 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 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.
