Millman Speaks

Richard Millman is smart, reflective and articulate regarding squash and its challenges.

After the Olympics result, Richard reflects on squash and its challenges and opportunities.

St. Lawrence's Beautiful Campus

After viewing this promotional video for St. Lawrence University's campus, you might want to go there too.

Gaultier v Shabana

PSA recently released a full match replay of Gregory Gaultier v Amr Shabana. Two great players on a gorgeous show court.

Matthew v Willstop

PSA recently released a full match replay of Nick Matthew v James Willstrop.  

 

Both British. Both former PSA #1s. Both are not fans of the other.

Ashour v Shorbagy

PSA recently released a full match replay of Ramy Ashour v Mohamed El Shorbagy.  

 

Two wonderfully, talented young Egyptians.

US Squash's Great Idea

We recently saw on the US Squash website, a new test section to teach how to referee a squash match.

It is only a test section. But we hope they pursue this. It would be helpful for the many players who want this kind of video tutorial.

US Squash's Rules of the Road

US Squash has thoughtfully put together some notes on etiquette for people on and off the court at squash tournaments.

It's worth a look.

Squash Fiction League to Launch

Daily Squash Report Ted Gross and his team at Daily Squash Report have launched a squash fiction writing contest.  

 

We love that DSR keeps injecting new energy into the squash community.

Forcing the Weak Cross Court

Add a description Jethro Binns, as he does with everything on Squash Skills,  does a really nice job in this video.

TRUTH & Rumors

  • ShhSquash needs more people like Alan Thatcher. He's doing some fun things with his new blog SquashMad.com.
    • But their post on Oct. 7 ( here) looked surprisingly similar to Oct. 2's Truth and Rumors (here). 
  • Seshadri is an active online poster on the Let's Talk Squash forum. And he loves his PSA. But he doesn't think the upcoming US Open will be fun to watch. Read why here.
  • PST squash pro and good guy Rob Wilkins got married this past weekend to his longtime girlfriend Stacey.
  • Speaking of PST WAGs, Rob's brother Phil, who is an elite squash coach based in Tuxedo, NY was seen snuggling court side at PST's Northeast Open with a very cute yoga instructor.
  • In college tennis, there is an interesting situation with lets on the serve.
    • Division I tennis doesn't play with lets any more, but Div. II and III still use lets.
    • So what to do when teams play one another across divisions? Well, the home team has the prerogative.
    • For example, if Tufts (Div. III) hosts Villanova (Div. I) for a tennis match, they would play with lets.  
    • If Villanova hosts Tufts, no lets.
  • Jahangir Khan's father Roshan Khan was a pretty good player himself. He won the 1957 British Open and reached the finals in 1956 and 1960.
    • At that time, the British Open was regarded as squash's world championship event.
