ENGLISH GRAND PRIX SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS |
The English
Grand Prix, a legacy born from the highly successful 2006 British
Open, is one of the most exciting and prestigious events on the
men’s professional World Tour, featuring the world’s leading
players.
Event Format:
Strategically positioned on the squash calendar immediately prior to
the British Open, the world’s most important, prestigious and
longest established championships, the English Grand Prix will
attract the world’s leading players.
All iSPORTmanagment™ players will compete in the inaugural
English Grand Prix including; Lee Beachill (World No.1 & 3
time British Champion), James Willstrop (World No.2),

Peter Barker (World No.21), Christopher Gordon (US No.1),
Laurence Delasaux (European & British Junior Champion 2004)
and Chris Simpson (European & British Junior Champion 2005).
Additionally, the championship’s minimum total prize money fund of
$60,000 and proximity to the British Open, is likely to ensure that
the event will attract all leading non iSPORTmanagement™
