This year’s tournament, which takes place at the Wimbledon Club, will be the fourth instalment of the event and the largest to date with a prize purse of $50,000 on offer.
Last season saw France’s Mathieu Castagnet claim the title, his first PSA title triumph in two years, and the Frenchman will once again return to defend his title at this year’s event.
ElShorbagy and Castagnet will be joined by some big names in men’s squash, including Egypt’s former World No.3 Omar Mosaad, England’s No.1 Declan James and former World No.1 James Willstrop.
Alongside James and Willstrop, there is a strong English contingent featuring at the tournament with the likes of last season’s runner-up Tom Richards, Daryl Selby, Chris Simpson and George Parker all battling it out for the title, while the wildcard spots are occupied by Jordan Warne and Tom Walsh.
The likes of Mexico’s Cesar Salazar, France’s Lucas Serme and Egypt’s World Junior champion Mostafa Asal will also all be in action in the English capital.
The event is a significant fundraiser for Squash Squared, which is a UK registered squash and education charity supporting disadvantaged students for academic and sporting success. Tickets can be purchased via the tournament website and prices start from £20 for adults and £10 for juniors.
