Squash On Sky (Sun/Mon/Wed)
Ramy & Laura Win British Open 2013 Titles
JUBILANT scenes were witnessed at Hull’s KC Stadium at the weekend for the second time in two months as a English player won the British Open women’s final for the first time since 1991.
Preston-based world number two Laura Massaro defied the odds to beat favourite Malaysian Nicol David 3-1 (11/4, 3/11, 12/10, 11/7) in the most tensely contested match of the tournament.
An emotional Ramy Ashour became the first Egyptian winner of the British Open since 1966 after he claimed the title at 
his second attempt.
It wasn’t plain sailing for the world number one who was troubled by Frenchman Gregory Gaultier, a previous British Open champion himself who called on that experience, but couldn’t beat Ashour who won 3-1

The top 2 seeds in the Men’s Draw are Ramy Ashour (No.1) and Nick Matthew (No.2 and defending champion) – and they could meet for a showdown on Sunday. However James Willstrop (No.3), Greg Gaultier (No.4 seed) will no doubt have something to say about that!
In the Women’s Event it’s once again hard to see past Nicol David to retain her title, but the big challenge may come from Laura Massaro (seeded No.2)
