Press Release Issued 18 January 2010
Adrian Grant, World No 10, tops the Men's seedings at this year’s Artemis Edinburgh Open Squash Championships to be held at the Edinburgh Sports Club on 28 - 31 January. Also appearing are the 2008 champion Daryl Selby, World No 13, and Ong Beng Hee, Malaysia’s World No 19, making his first appearance in the Championships. Vanessa Atkinson, World No 11 tops the Women's seeding.
Local interest in the mens event will be supplied by Stuart Crawford, Scotland’s No 2, and Waverley’s Chris Ferguson.
Guyana’s Nicolette Fernandes is the Women's second seed. Edinburgh’s own Senga Macfie, a former Scottish internationalist, will be well supported at her home venue but faces a tough first round tie against local rival Lisa Aitken.
Artemis, the Edinburgh based investment management company, are sponsoring the event for the tenth consecutive year. The event remains the richest on the BSPA Grand Prix with a total prize fund of £10,000.
Mark Tyndall, Chief Executive of Artemis, says “Artemis is delighted to continue to support the Edinburgh Open Squash Championships. Since its inaugural event in 2001 the championship has become a firm fixture on the international squash calendar. It is also a great opportunity to showcase local talent permitting young players, perhaps for the first time, to gain invaluable experience by competing at the top level”.
Ian Williams, Manager at Edinburgh Sports Club, is delighted with this year’s record entry: “The event continues to attract some of the world’s highest ranked professional players to give spectators a wonderful opportunity to watch squash of the highest quality being played over a four-day period. We remain hugely grateful to Artemis for their sponsorship which has raised the event to its present status”.
The Championships begin on Thursday 28th January, concluding with the finals on Sunday 31st January.
