Squash's Perfect Storm
|
 Richard Millman looked at another failed Olympic bid, no Women's World Championships, a PSA chief embarrassing the sport amid all sorts of allegations, the WSA in doubt on their ability to grow the women's game, and the PSA and WSA World Series Finals indefinitely postponed and it seemed to much to endure. This past week the squash scribe called this the Perfect Storm for squash. And he believes it's time for major change. To see Millman's article on Squash Mad, please click here.

TRUTH & Rumors
|
 We honestly wondered if WSA had closed its doors last weekend. The tour's website was down for several days. But Squash Republic appeared to be the only wondering what happened when they Tweeted this.- What's worse for the WSA?
- That there site was down for several days or that no one cared.
- SquashSite used to have an active fan forum page (Let's Talk Squash), where fans could share ideas. The forum is still there, but the censorship of "unacceptable" thought appears to have dampened fan interest in using the forum.
- Several media outlets have reported that India's #1 female squasher Dipika Pallikal is now engaged to India cricketer Dinesh Karthik.
- Brits are happy that the British Open will be returning to an inside arena next time. Although last year's event was received poorly because of frigid temperatures and awful viewing, Dr. Allam should be applauded for trying something new.
- Amr Shabana has now impressively been in the PSA top 10 for a decade. He joins legends Thierry Lincou and David Palmer in showing that kind of consistency.
- Top level squash coach Paul Selby took a hard shot at a referee here on Twitter. Although any punter can complain about squash referees, Selby happens to be a top mind in our sport.
- Those rascals at SquashMad.com were poking Nick Matthew on Twitter this week over his squash shoes. Nick, who loves his Twitter, slapped 'em back hard enough that they felt obliged to print a puff piece for the reigning Champ. #GettingSoft
