DUNLOP BRITISH OPEN –
LIVERPOOL 2008
The 2008 Dunlop British Open will
be staged in Liverpool from the 6th to 12th May as part of the
city’s European Capital of Culture 2008 and never in the
championships eight-six year history has the championships ever
contained so many potential winners.
 Leading contenders for the men’s title will include three
Egyptians, Amr Shabana, the World No.1 and World
Champion, Ramy Ashour and Karim Darwish, two
Frenchmen, Thierry Lincou and Gregory Gaultier, an
Australian, David Palmer, and two Englishman, the 2006
British Open Champion Nick Matthew and James Willstrop,
who has enjoyed a spectacular start to 2008.
Can the spectacular Ramy Ashour, take over as the leading man
from his supremely gifted compatriot Amr Shabana? Or will the
elegant Karim Darwish become a third Egyptian to scale the
pinnacle? Will the courageous David Palmer out-do the Egyptian
trio to win his fourth British Open title? Will the two best
ever Frenchmen, Thierry Lincou and Gregory Gaultier, delight us
again with their style and versatility? Will England’s Nick
Matthew repeat the brilliance which in 2006 saw him crowned
British National, British Grand Prix and British Open Champion,
or will James Willstrop add to the five titles he has already
won this year?
 They are all impenetrable questions, and the women’s
championship may prove to be equally diverse, with the outcome
no less certain. Rachael Grinham can be guaranteed to
make to tough minded defence, but it will take a repeat of her
2007 brilliance to see her lift the coveted trophy for a fourth
time and so overcome the challenges of World No.1 Nicol David,
whom she defeated so spectacularly in last years final, younger
sister Natalie, England’s Tania Bailey and
Jenny Duncalf and the ever-dangerous Natalie Grainger
from the USA.
What is certain however, is the event will be staged at one of
the world’s worthiest venues, with the quarter-finals,
semi-finals and finals to be staged at the Liverpool Echo
Arena (10th to 12th May).
 Situated in the beautiful
location of the Kings Dock on the River Mersey, the Liverpool
Echo Arena will host the opening ceremony of the Capital of
Culture Year in January 2008 and will be the centre of
entertainment for concert goers and sports enthusiasts across
the North West and North Wales, offering visitors a unique
experience in one of the UK's most vibrant cities.
The Dunlop British Open - Liverpool 2008 will be first sporting
event to be held at the new state of the art 10,000 plus seater
arena, and will be a fitting venue for the world’s premier
squash championships which will be staged in Liverpool for the
first time in its illustrious history.
