Palmer - Power in the Windy City Open final match
Another epic final from those two...

Very true, Rita, very true.
Willstrop seems to be gifted kid as his dad is the world's most famous coach (just mention his name in UK and everybody is nodding head ;-)

Shabana ... well, if he can control his nerves he may be really dangeraous to everybody.

I have to admit, I always have been a huge fan of james and I followed his career from his Junior times. I simply enjoyed watching his game, so elegant, charming movement and shots...

See Shabana (EGY) beat Lincou (FRA)

If youth and experience has anything to do with squash (injury aside) I see Shabana and Willstrop being around for a long time on the circuit.  They seem five years ahead of themselves just now?

Palmer-Willstrop today
And
Shabana-Power

so we have semi final matches that could be finals as well...
I wish Willstrop could make it, but Cangaroo on Viagra (friendly nick of David Palmer) seems to play like recovered from a long coma.

Regarding the second match - when JP is on his wave, he's unreachable...

You are dead right there Rita.

I've been fishing around wondering what the purse was for the Windy's Open - and it was advertised the richest tournament.  That of course explains why all the players left Oz and headed straight for Chicago.
US$100,000 will be split no doubt.  What a dream if that was the norm.

Hi Viper,

As you have found it already, Aussies are out from WIndy City Open as for today.
Nick Matthew bt Stewart Boswell 3-1 in 60 mins
Olli Tuominen bt Dan Jenson 3-1 in 65 minutes (Olli's form is rising month by month)
Thanks god, Anthony Ricketts bt Wael El Hindi, but it was tough game 3-1


So for now you will still have a chance to enjoy:
Anthony Ricketts v. Graham Ryding (Can), both from Wilson team - today at 4PM US time
David Palmer v. Alex Gough at 4PM, it promise to be good match as Goughie is like wine, the older the better.

Regarding the predictions (Fantasy Squash) I vote for Shabana-Ricketts final.
And take a look - Power plays Gaultier again. Poor Gregory...

Australia's Dan Jenson gets through to the main draw.
