Qatar 2019 Equipment Updates

4 Comments

Hey everyone, here are some squash equipment updates from the men’s 2019 World Championships in Qatar. This is just a partial list — there’s so many photos and so many new players that I haven’t had time to go through them all, but I’ll try to update the post further after hitting publish. The photos are via the Qatar Squash gallery.

    Not Qatar tournament, but since no there’s no channel Vas tournament page yet, looks like Tom Richards is using a different racquet than previously, think it’s a Karakal
