The event boasts some serious pedigree having attracted a veritable laundry list of World Champions, World #1s and squash legends in it's six year history. From Power and Palmer to the incumbent, Gregory Gaultier, no less than six World Open Champs have graced the Cambridge Cup courts.
This year's installment is no different. Gregory Gaultier, the man in current possession of both the World Open and Cambridge Cup titles, returns to defend his title against another star-studded field. Joining Gaultier in Toronto will be the balance of the Top 4 World-ranked players in Mohamed El Shorbagy, Englishman Nick Matthew and Omar Mossad. Four-time World Champion, squash legend and new Torontonian Amr Shabana will also be looking to be the last man standing…for the third time! Rounding out the 8-man draw are Frenchman Mathieu Castagnet (World #9), Aussie Ryan Cuskelly (World #16) and up-and-coming Egyptian Ali Farag (World #22).
"We are thrilled and honored to have this impressive field of players. This is the Cambridge Cup's 6th year in the running. We have seen it grow over the years into a unique and exciting event for players and Toronto squash fans. Thank you to Bank of America Merrill Lynch for their continuing support and the Cambridge Club for it's hospitality. We look forward to a great event!", said Shahier Razik, Tournament Promoter.
A total of 12 matches will be played across seven Toronto venues. The Cambridge Club will host six matches including the two semi-finals and the final. Based on the history of this event, it is anticipated that event will be completely sold out!
