Demi-finales aujourd'hui aux Bermudes. Commentaires de Martin Bronstein, SquashSite, Framboise accompagnés de photos et interviews des joueurs qui ont participé aux quarts de finale.
La famille Claes, qui avait imaginé La Palestre, en 1979, et l’avait baptisé du nom du lieu où, dans la Grèce antique, l’on pratiquait les exercices physiques, n’y retrouverait pas ses jeunes.
Ni elle, ni Claude Fontaine, ni Christian Daufresne, qui se succédèrent à la barre du temple limelettois jusqu’à son rachat par le Groupe Henin en 2005.
C’est que tout l’intérieur du bâtiment a fait l’objet d’une transformation radicale entamée en mai dernier et qui vise à donner plus de fonctionnalités à un ensemble de services très professionnels.
Fini l’escalier extérieur qui donnait directement accès à la cafétéria. Dès ce vendredi, on entrera par une porte en arc de cercle avant de bifurquer vers la droite ou la gauche selon que l’on veut se rendre au restaurant ou au club de tennis. Des vestiaires au rez-de-chaussée jusqu’au deuxième étage qui sera consacré à l’accueil de séminaires et de manifestations, en passant par l’espace cafétéria, tout a été réaménagé.
« Et l’été prochain, nous remplacerons les trois terrains de squash par un espace fitness de 350 m2 répartis sur deux niveaux », précise William Froidville, qui ajoute que ces travaux ponctueront une série d’investissements entamés en 2005, parmi lesquels la réfection de la toiture du hall, la mise sous tente de trois terrains extérieurs et la construction d’un huitième terrain en brique pilée.
« Le prix de la cotisation sera augmenté en raison des services offerts mais, dorénavant, nos quelque 600 membres disposeront de 19 courts de tennis. Ils pourront choisir entre le site de La Palestre et celui de l’Antilob auquel nous ne toucherons pas. »
En bonus, ils pourront peut-être voir s’entraîner Justine. C’est d’ailleurs en sa présence, ce vendredi soir, que sera dévoilé le nouveau nom du club limelettois. Suspense…

4 
L’un, Thierry Lincou, champion du monde en 2004, a été numéro un mondial en 2005. Le premier non issu de l’ex-Empire britannique. L’autre, Grégory Gaultier, vice-champion du monde, quatre fois champion d’Europe, est l’actuel numéro trois mondial. Ils portent haut le squash tricolore. Tous deux visent le titre de champion du monde, cette semaine aux Bermudes. Puis celui par équipe, en Inde. Lincou a été un pionnier. Gaultier est déjà au sommet. La relève est presque déjà assurée. La jeune garde est vice-championne d’Europe junior. Chez les filles, Camille Serme est l’actuelle numéro un mondiale des moins de 19 ans.
Le squash de haut niveau français se porte mieux que jamais. Il a bousculé la hiérarchie mondiale de cette discipline depuis toujours dominée par les pays anglo-saxons. «Trop longtemps en France le squash a été assimilé à un loisir pratiqué par des cadres après le boulot. C’est culturel. Grâce aux résultats de nos meilleurs joueurs, on commence à devenir une discipline sportive qui attire les jeunes s’investissant dans des associations. Le niveau se densifie pour assurer la relève», note l’actuel DTN (directeur technique national), Yves Hocdé, ancien champion olympique et du monde... d’aviron. Deux pôles de haut niveau ont été créés ces dernières années. L’un masculin, à Aix-en-Provence. L’autre féminin, à Créteil. Trois pôles espoirs ont aussi été mis en place depuis 2004. Le nouveau numéro un français, Grégory Gaultier, a bénéficié de ces structures.
«La Fédération française, créée en 1981, reste très jeune et son budget modeste (1 million d’euros)», relève Hocdé. Le chantier est vaste. «On a beaucoup investi sur le haut niveau (30 % du budget de la Fédération va aux athlètes), on doit encore développer les structures. On manque de terrains», poursuit le DTN. «En France, on possède un court pour 42 000 habitants. En Europe, c’est un court pour 10 000 habitants. On sollicite les collectivités territoriales à plus investir. Actuellement, la part du public est trop faible. 80 % des courts appartiennent au privé», explique-t-il encore. Il est vrai que la construction d’un court coûte cher, environ 20 000 à 30 000 euros. Et pour un complexe, il faut compter environ 150 000 euros. «Je peux vous assurer qu’un court de squash est plus rentable qu’une patinoire», poursuit Hocdé, ancien adjoint à la DTN des sports de glace.
Au regard du nombre de pratiquants (environ 250 000), le nombre de licenciés reste modeste malgré une sérieuse augmentation. En 1997, la FFS comptait 11 000 licenciés, elle en dénombre 25 000 aujourd’hui. Un chiffre toutefois modeste par rapport à d’autres sports de raquette. La Fédération française de badminton recense ainsi près de 115 000 licenciés quand celle de tennis de table dépasse les 180 000.
Pas simple non plus de convaincre de nouveaux adeptes pour une discipline encore considérée à risque pour le cœur. «On ne peut pas mettre en place une étude médicale faute de moyens. Mais nous faisons du lobbying auprès des médecins pour prouver que ce sport n’est pas plus dangereux que le badminton.»
Le squash demeure d’ailleurs le seul sport de raquette à ne pas être inscrit aux Jeux olympiques. Il croyait tenir le bon bout pour 2012. Mais le CIO (Comité international olympique) a notifié son refus en juillet 2005. Pour Hocdé, l’explication est simple : «Les Anglais ne veulent pas universaliser cette discipline. Ils perdraient leur position monopolistique.»
Sans l’éclairage olympique, la discipline, quasi absente du petit écran, demeure dans l’ombre. «Grâce à nos meilleurs joueurs, on a quand même aujourd’hui une réelle exposition médiatique. On travaille au projet d’une chaîne ADSL propre au squash avec un prestataire extérieur», révèle le DTN. Car bien difficile à l’heure actuelle de voir ce sport sur les chaînes françaises. Aucune ne retransmettra les Mondiaux cette semaine. La couverture télévisuelle demeure indispensable pour une discipline qui peine encore à sortir de sa cage de verre.

Jonathon Power In World Team Championship Comeback
Former world number one Jonathon Power will play for Canada at the 21st ICL World Men's Team Squash Championship in Chennai, India, from 6-12 December.
"I feel I can still add a lot to the team and win some games at the team worlds,’’ said the 33-year-old from Toronto who retired from the pro circuit last year but still competes at national championships and international events for Canada. ‘’I’ve been training hard for these championships and I feel my playing is of high calibre."
Power is keeping busy these days promoting the sport across North America by holding camps and playing exhibitions. He and his wife Sita are proud parents of a nine-month old daughter. Power is also currently working on a project to build a squash academy in Toronto for potential high performance players.
"Squash Canada was thrilled that Jonathon wanted to remain an integral member of the Canadian men's squad following his retirement from pro circuit,’’ said Linda MacPhail, executive director of the Canadian national federation. "Jonathon is a very patriotic athlete, and his desire to remain with the team was obviously warmly received by Squash Canada. He plays a strong role as both an athlete and leader on the team, and is of course enthusiastically welcomed by the international squash community."
Joining Power on the Canadian team for the Chennai championship are Shahier Razik of Toronto, who is coming off two PSA tournament wins in Canada and is ranked 25th in the world; Matthew Giuffre of Edmonton; and Shawn Delierre of Brossard, Quebec.
"I played Jonathan in an exhibition recently and he is looking very strong," said Giuffre. "It’s just great that he’s coming back. With him in the line-up we’ve increased the strength of our team."
This year’s world team championship has attracted 29 countries, including the top eight ranked players in the world, headed by Amr Shabana of Egypt.
Canada, seeded sixth for the tournament, is in a pool with 11th seeds Ireland and Austria, seeded in the 17/24 bracket. Egypt, England and France are seeded one, two and three, respectively.
Canada was fourth at the last world championship in 2005 held in Islamabad, Pakistan - with Power, Razik, Giuffre and Graham Ryding of Toronto. They lost the bronze medal match to France in the playoff for third place. England beat Egypt in the final.
National men’s team coach Gene Turk, of Winnipeg, believes Canada can aim for another top four finish.
"It’s going to be a challenge to repeat that result," said Turk. "We’ll need to get some big wins. Jonathon brings a lot of experience and gives us a great chance to win at the number one position."
Power, who won the Commonwealth Games singles gold medal in 2002 and went on to acquire 37 PSA Tour titles from 61 final appearances, first topped the world rankings in May 1999. The most successful North American squash player of all time retired from the PSA Tour in March 2006 having reclaimed the world No1 ranking - his 13th month in pole position.
Le Winner's fête ses 23 ans d'existence ce samedi 24 novembre. A cette occasion, il organise un buffet exotique (à partir de 20:00) suivi d'un spectacle orchestré par le groupe ATOMIC et d'une soirée Move & Dance à 22:00, le tout pour la modique somme de 20 €.
En espérant que Bear Stearns ne soit pas emporté par la tourmente du subprime, le spectacle sera encore assuré dans le Grand Central Terminal du 8 au 16 janvier 2008.
Les lignes qui suivent expliquent peut-être l'engouement que rencontre le soft ball aux Etats-Unis, contrairement au plat pays qui est le nôtre où il y a bien longtemps qu'ont été inaugurées de nouvelles installations de squash :

Grand Central Terminal (GCT, often still called Grand Central Station) is a terminal rail station at 15 Vanderbilt Avenue (42nd Street and Park Avenue) in Midtown Manhattan in New York City. Built by the New York Central Railroad (for which it was named) in the heyday of American long-distance passenger trains, it is the largest train station in the world by number of platforms: 44, with 67 tracks along them. They are on two underground levels, with 41 tracks on the upper level and 26 on the lower.

UniSport Guildford and league newcomers Energie Fitness Redditch recorded their first wins of the season in Tuesday's fourth round of the Premier League (PSL) - while an under-strength Benz-Bavarian Duffield squad claimed an unlikely 4/1 home win over University Sport Birmingham to extend their unbeaten run in the prestigious England Squash league sponsored by Towergate tlc to 19 ties since April 2006.
Redditch beat Pontefract 5/0 to lift themselves off the bottom of the Group A table, while Duffield's win stretches the Derbyshire club's lead at the top of the table to 20 points - ahead of the University of Birmingham squad. Elsewhere in the group, Nottingham hosted a close-fought battle with Esporta Oxford, which the visitors clinched 3/2 - but still remain behind the East Midlands club in the points table.
There were wild celebrations in Surrey where UniSport Guildford beat county rivals Luxfords St George's Hill 3/2 in the team's first PSL win since October last year. Meanwhile, PNH Properties Chichester fought back from 2/0 down at Probuild Bristol to beat their Avon hosts 3/2 and consolidate their second place in Group B, behind Croydon's PCL Whitehall Security Surrey H&RC, who were enjoying a rest day.
Without either of their world top 15 players Nick Matthew or Stewart Boswell for the first time this season, league champions Duffield looked in danger of losing their two season unbeaten run in front of a home crowd - especially when they suffered their first women's string loss of the season as club stalwart Laura Hill went down 5-9, 2-9, 7-9 to the visitors' world No12 Laura Lengthorn-Massaro.
But, roused undoubtedly by the strong local support, Shaun le Roux and Alex Stait led the fight back - fourth string Le Roux taking out Alistair Mutch 9-5, 9-4, 10-8 and Stait defeating South African Stephen Coppinger 9-7, 9-6, 4-9, 9-4. But the Duffield hero was third string Peter Billson, who came back from two games down against Joel Hinds to beat the former Duffield player 9-11, 6-9, 9-4, 10-8, 9-1.
Further lifted now by the boisterous Duffield supporters, newly-promoted team number one Andrew Whipp made it 4/1 for the hosts with a comprehensive 9-4, 9-6, 9-2 win over the visitors' Jonathan Harford.
Energie Fitness Redditch wasted no time in earning maximum points from their home clash with Pontefract - a team weakened by the imminent departure of its stars James Willstrop, Lee Beachill and Saurav Ghosal to Bermuda for this week's Men's World Open. Even the presence of Pontefract debutante Vanessa Atkinson, the former world champion from the Netherlands, failed to ignite the Yorkshire club's attack as Redditch's Jaclyn Hawkes defeated the former world number one 9-7, 6-9, 9-4, 9-3.
But it was straight games wins for the Worcestershire hosts thereafter as Jonathan Kemp, Aaron Frankcomb, David Barnett and Jaymie Haycocks battled for a combined time of just 93 minutes to claim a 5/0 victory for the PSL first-timers.
A capacity crowd welcomed Esporta Oxford to Nottingham - and were duly treated to high-quality drama up until the final few points. Honours were shared after the first two matches as Emma Beddoes put the hosts ahead with a 9-5, 9-7, 9-4 win over Rachel Donald, then Oxford's Kristen Johnson levelled the tie after beating Arthur Gaskin in four games. Fighting off the effects of a heavy cold, Nottingham's John Rooney recovered from two games down to beat Chris Ryder 7-9, 8-10, 9-7, 9-1, 9-3 - but club stalwart Simon Parke, making a comeback from a gluteus injury, saw a 2/1 lead slip away as Oxford's Scott Handley again levelled the tie with a 10-8, 2-9, 7-9, 9-4 9-5 win over the former world No4.
The decider also went to five games - in which the visitors' Cameron Pilley, the world No22 from Australia, fought back from a game down to upset Malaysia's world No17 Ong Beng Hee 6-9, 9-3, 9-7, 5-9, 9-5 to give Oxford a hard-fought 3/2 victory.
Despite retiring from the international circuit almost four years ago, long-time UniSport Guildford player Stephen Meads is still able to hold his own against top Tour opponents. And with the squad 2/1 up, the 37-year-old from Berkshire found himself facing Hungarian international Mark Krajcsak, the Luxfords St George's Hill's second string, in a potential tie decider.
Meads, who reached a career-high world No11 ranking more than 12 years ago, dug deep - and ultimately beat world No63 Krajcsak 6-9, 9-7, 9-4, 7-9, 9-6 to put victory beyond the reach of the St George's Hill visitors.
There was high drama too in Bristol where Probuild Bristol forged a 2/0 lead over visitors PNH Properties Chichester after Australian Kasey Brown despatched England's Dominique Lloyd-Walter 9-6, 9-5, 9-5 and veteran campaigner Peter Marshall, a former world number two behind the legendary Jansher Khan, beat Chichester stalwart Peter Genever 4-9, 9-3, 9-6, 4-9, 9-5.
But the Sussex side fought back - firstly with Tim Vail prevailing against host club captain Hadrian Stiff 12-10 in the fifth game, then Alex Gough beating long-time Welsh international team-mate David Evans in four games.
Separated by just two places in the world top 20 rankings, England's world No19 Adrian Grant faced Malaysia's world No17 Mohd Azlan Iskandar in the decider It was Chichester who prevailed, however, as Iskandar triumphed 9-5, 9-11, 9-5, 9-3 over the Englishman to maintain their unbeaten PSL record this season.

| PSA Ranking Policy General Players competing in PSA tournaments earn ranking points according to how far they get in the draw. The points available depend on the prize money and the draw size. The monthly rankings (issued on the 1st of the month) are used in selecting entries to tournaments and in determining the seeds. The total number of points a player earns in a year (52 weeks) is divided by the number of tournaments played ( a minimum of eight are required) to give a ranking average. Where a player has played more than 8 tournaments the best scores may be selected (ie. the lowest are not included) according to the Averaging Formula below. For example, a player who has competed in 13 events will have selected his best 10 scores, which will be accumulated and divided by 10. |
| Events Played | Best Results/Divisor | Events played | Best Results/Divisor |
| 9 | 8 | 16 | 12 |
| 10 | 8 | 17 | 12 |
| 11 | 9 | 18 | 13 |
| 12 | 9 | 19 | 14 |
| 13 | 10 | 20 | 15 |
| 14 | 10 | 24 | 18 |
| 15 | 11 | 25 | 19 |
Zero Scores
A zero score is automatically given for the following :
LATE WITHDRAWAL; NO-SHOW; DISCIPLINARY MATTERS
For recording purposes on the ranking computer a disciplinary Zero score is recorded as a 99. This 99 will stay on player's records as an event played and count towards the ranking average for the following 12 months. If a player fails to play a tournament through sickness or injury he must supply a medical certificate. Once that medical certificate is received by the PSA office a 99 may be recorded as a 98. A 98 is included as one of the player's lowest scores, for the calculation of ranking, until a player has played 9 events.
Ranking Points
The PSA ranking system is based on dollars earned.
a) Satellite/International/Super Series
i) Main Draw:
To calculate the number of ranking points a player receives from a tournament, divide his player compensation (prize money plus hotel bonus) by 10. The breakdown is given below.
