2014
Preview: Bigger and Better ...
The
Sekisui Open has grown again since last year. This time the
infrastructure has been improved with a fitness tent, a video
game area, play court for the kids and of course lower tins on
the two courts used.
With
three Egyptians seeded #1 to #3 we are looking forward to some
exciting squash. But not to forget Jens Schoor who is seeded 4
and has won the recently held Inno Wood Open 2014 at the same
venue.
Home
hopes Reiko Peter and Benjamin Fischer will be trying their best
to proceed to the second round. In the qualifying are also
several Swiss players competing for a place in the main draw.
All the local players can be sure of the support of the home
crowd.
As the weather forecast is nice it looks like it will be a great
event ...
