Dj Vree is an up-coming DJ from The Hague, his passion is music, especially a tough version of club/house music. His latest project called “Vree – Squashhit” was featured by Sebastiaan Weenink a Dutch squash pro. Weenink’s best world ranking was 139; at the moment he dropped down to 285 which does not reflect his skills he put into the video. This type of promotion is needed to take squash to the level where it belongs. Sit back and enjoy the “Squashhit”.

Amanda Sobhy (pic) against Nour El Tayeb, that’s No.3 against No.4, a final with two 17-years-old girls against the seeding. The Egyptian Nour El Tayeb wanted to do once better than last year, when she became runner-up, but the American Amanda Sobhy had other plans on the day of her 17th birthday. She attempted to make herself the best present ever and become the first American ever, who won a world championship squash title. Sobhy recovered from a game down to win the world championship trophy in four games (3-11, 11-7, 11-6, 11-7). “I just won the world junior championships on my birthday, can life get any better!?”; said the new champion.

As yesterday has been a very sad full day for the English football fans, while they had to witness the highest defeat of the England team ever in a World Cup match, English squash star Nick Matthew had the only advice a No.1 could give: “If anyone wants to come and watch a sport that England are good at, come to the British Grand Prix Squash in Manchester, 15-20 September!!!”
