About
London's most prestigious professional squash tournament
The Canary Wharf Squash Classic is an annual tournament that sees the world's leading male professional players compete. Launched in 2004 with a main draw of eight, England's James Willstrop won the inaugural event after a best of seven games final. The following year, the final changed to a best of five games format and saw Scotland's John White make a thrilling comeback to claim the title.
In 2006, the Professional Squash Association (PSA) took over as organisers of the Canary Wharf Squash Classic. The format changed again to allow for qualifying rounds and a main draw of 16 players. Today the early rounds are played as the best of three games, with semi-finals and finals reverting to the best of five games. The tournament always kicks off with the people's programme on Sunday, consisting of eight first-round matches, and then culminates in the traditional Friday finale.
Among the highlights over the years, Willstrop nabbed a hat-trick after beating Pilley in 2008 and Australia's David Palmer dethroned Willstrop in 2009. Then England's mighty Nick Matthew went on to win numerous editions, landing his record sixth title in 2017.
In 2020, the Canny Wharf Squash Classic tournament was the final men's PSA World Tour event to take place before competition was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. The unforgettable battle saw the Men's World No.1 and No.2 players, Egyptian stars Ali Farag and Mohamed ElShorbagy, go head-to-head, with the latter triumphant.
In early 2021, the PSA announced the world's greatest squash players would return to London for the 18th edition of the Canary Wharf Squash Classic, staged for the first time ever in November. Taking place once again at the Eventis Pro-Court in East Wintergarden, the line-up is sure to feature another world-class field.
After hosting the 2021 edition in November, the PSA is reverting the Canary Wharf Squash Classic back to its traditional spot on the calendar in March 2022.
