TRUTH & Rumors
|
England's Andrew Gillespie is not happy with SquashEzine. - He used Twitter to say "The constant PSA-bashing in your 'Truth and Rumors' section has become tiresome."
- Many top, international tournaments finish on a glass court but start early rounds on a white wall court in a club.
- It is very unfair to the players because the difference between those two types of courts is so dramatic.
- It is like starting a tennis tournament on a grass court and then holding the final rounds on clay.
- The Squashist is very protective of his relationship with US Squash CEO Kevin Klipstein, who he calls an "advanced soul."
- Squash needs more people like France's Nicolas Barbeau. If his writing and publications were done in English, he would have global appeal.
- The energy on and off the court at the recent Men's World Team Championships was unmatched. And no one was discussing how much the players got paid to win each match.
- Ferez Nallaseth (Ph.D) is breathing life into the Rutgers University Squash Racquets Club. He was a top player in India before moving to the States, where he is now a researcher participating in research in cancer in the Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at Rutgers.
