TRUTH & Rumors

  • Shh
    Ming Tsai has been all over late night t.v. promoting his Aero Knife on the Home Shopping Network. Ming was a stud squash player at Yale University back in the day. And rumor has it he played a little pro ball in Europe after school. 
  • Squash.com.au was happy to promote here the release of "two-time" PSA Champion Nick Matthew's book this week. Nice gesture boys, except Nick won the title three times. 
  • An incensed reader pointed us to Kevin Klipstein's (US Squash CEO) letter in the current edition of Squash Magazine.
    • Evidently, Guy Cipriano's article here on the Daily Squash Report hit a nerve at US Squash headquarters.
    • Cipriano's article highlighted how few people now participate in US Squash's national championships.
    • So Klipstein, responded with a write-up in his own magazine. But he puffed up his participation stats to include the US Junior Open, which is not a national championship. It attracts juniors of all nationalities from across the globe. But its ~1,300 participants would certainly make Klipstein look better than the 179 who went to US Nationals this year.

  • We hear U. Rochester coach and long-time Scottish Champion Martin Heath will be doing commentary for the Commonwealth Games broadcast this summer. #GreatChoice
  • If you were on court with David Palmer, would you airbrush him out of the picture?  
    • Well, that's what Bermuda Squash apparently did to the squash icon for their most recent tournament - which Palmer won by the way.
    • Here's our side-by-side comparison of the photos.
    • Here's SquashSite's photo (scroll to Nick Kyme). 
    • Here's Bermuda Squash's altered photo.
