Former World No.2 Peter Marshall has
announced that he will be competing in the Dunlop
British Open - Manchester 2007 squash
championships to be held at the National Squash
Centre in Manchester,
England from the 20th to 24th September.
Marshall, who became England's most
successful squash player in the early nineties, has
confirmed that he will be competing in the Over 35
competition at the world's most prestigious and
largest combined men's and women's squash championships.
It was after competing in the final of the British Open in
March 1995 that the three-time British National Champion
withdrew from the sport, suffering with chronic fatigue.
The former World No.2 made a brief comeback in April 1997,
going on to reach the semi-finals of the World Open seven
months later and after a further layoff, returned in 1999
to secure the Pakistan Open title as a qualifier before
capturing his third British National title in February
2000.
Marshall's unexpected entry will undoubtedly prove a major
attraction for the sport's longest standing event and
complements perfectly the championships unrivalled men's
and women's fields headed by the respective World No.1's
Amr Shabana and Nicol David.
"Peter's entry is a major boost for this years Dunlop
British Open," said Tournament Promoter Paul
Walters of internationalSPORTgroup."Everyone
knows how much Peter wanted to win the British Open title,
and of his enforced absence from the game following his
1995 final against Jansher Khan and it will be fantastic
to see him competing again, against a very strong O35
entry."
