England’s newly crowned World No1 Nick Matthew (pic) has become the first top ten player to confirm his participation in the ROWE British Grand Prix, to be staged in the English city of Manchester from 15-20 September. The ROWE British Grand Prix will be the only PSA Super Series ranking event to be staged in Europe this year, establishes Manchester alongside other major squash destinations including New York, New Delhi, Cairo, Canberra, Hong Kong, Kuwait City, Doha and Dammam (Saudi Arabia). “This is a very exciting time for squash and the elevation of the British Grand Prix to Europe’s leading Super Series World Tour event is further evidence of the success of the men’s international circuit,” said Matthew, the sixteenth player in history to top the men’s world list and only the second English-born World No1.
