Doubles Squash/Double Trouble/Double Vision! Get ready for a double helping of intense sporting action! Doubles Squash puts four players in an enclosed space and challenges them to show off their skills. Players don’t just have to keep one step ahead of their opponents; they have to work in perfect tandem with their partner; anticipating, reacting and perfectly positioning every shot. The court is over 2 metres wider than a Singles court and the players use every inch of it. They go up high, down low, and lunge in every direction as they hunt down points. Teamwork is everything and the action doesn’t let up, not even for a moment. In Doubles Squash, the pressure is shared, but so is the joy of victory.

Gaultier Returns to PSA World No.1 after 4 years
Greg is world No.1
Greg Gaultier has returned to World No.1 for the first time since Nov 2009 and his intention is to stay there this time. On the 1st occasion he was on the top spot for just one month and in an incredible turn of events he held the first ever joint No.1 position in February of this year when he joined Nick Matthew at the top.
But April see’s Greg take the title solo, by just 180 points, with a win in the Windy City Open in Chicago in early March.
Nick Matthew will no doubt be determined to challenge Greg for the World No.1 spot next month, but both players will have to look over their shoulders as Mohamed El Shorbagy has hit a career high of No.3 which is an amazing result for the 23 year old from Egypt.

It’s also good to see Scotland’s 2 Harrow stars moving up Alan Clyne at No.37 (up 1 place) and Greg Lobban at No.75 (up 2 places).
Not to mention Douglas Kempsell and Kevin Moran at No. 122 and 136
