The Atlanta Masters was a total sell out and not
event a seat was available for the final between
the current world number 1 Amr Shabana from Egypt
against the former world number one John White from
Scotland.
With 130 packed squash enthusiasts they were in for
a treat and a treat was just what they got from
these two world class players. With more room it
still would have been sold out and several players
had to be turned away at the door for last minute
tickets. With an open bar and a $2000 buffet from
Atlanta Creative Events the crowd had everything was
they asked for. Squash was at its finest with both
players entertaining the crowd with shots and jokes.
The 90 min game was one of the best I have ever seen
and one can see why Amr is the number 1 player in
the world. Amr squeezed 12-10 in the fifith and the
crowd were amazed how athletic and flexible these
players are. With over 20 juniors in the front row
both players signed shirts, hats and posed for
pictures of their future stars to be. After the game
both players took the time to answer any questions
from the crowd. Everyone was happy with their
performance and I am sure we will see a lot more
from these players.
