US Open Squash

Today I got all my squash buddies together to watch the Round 1 of the US Open Squash. It was the first time I saw the world's top players play in live.

Four of us, including an old friend who happened to be visiting Boston from Melbourne, Australia, went to Harvard Field. They got a nice indoor squash and tennis stadium there.

Since it was the round 1, the seeded top 10 players of the world played players of lower ranking. We watched the world number 1, 4, 5 and 7. The most entertaining match was number 4 vs number 24. Both of them play an attack type of squash and the match went onto the fifth game. It took Number 4 lots of hard work to win.

The first match started at 1:30 pm and the last match of the day had not started till 8 pm when we left. It was a great day. I think I have picked up some skills to play better.

World's No. 1 (in white shirt) was very patient with his
contester who ranked lower than 50.
