US Open Squash 2013 Equipment Report (PSA)

The 2013 US Open squash tournament was held in Philadelphia, a.k.a. my neck of the woods. I was lucky enough to check out the quarterfinals in person.

You can watch the matches on PSA Squash TV. Here’s the recap of the men’s finals, which Greg Gaultier won 3-0 over Nick Matthew. Gaultier frankly demolished Matthew in the final, which I can hardly believe, because I saw Nick play in person in the quarterfinal and he looked so incredibly sharp. It goes to show how well Gaultier is playing.

The on-court emcee in that video is Philly’s own Gilly Lane.

Anyway I’ve combed through the event photos, taken by Steve Cubbins for the US Open, looking for the equipment each player was using. Here are all the men’s players. I’ll be following up with a post for the women shortly.

    I play with Prince shoes and I like very much, but looks like no one in play with Prine in PSA circuit

      Hi Gustavo, there are a few players that wear Prince shoes. The Prince NFS V seem popular enough.

    The PDH Sports website have a recent what’s in your bag video with Nick Matthew. He has a new pair of HiTecs that he promises he will wear this time!
