WORLD SQUASH LIBRARY

The men’s US Open began in 1954 – a full list of past winners is on the Library website at https://www.squashlibrary.info/worldwide-winners. The Library has the programme for the second edition in 1955 and you can view all the pages e.g. introductions, player profiles, draw here......

Seventy Five years ago the annual Amateurs v Professionals match played in London in 1951 was notable for it including the newly arrived Hashim Khan. The report in British Lawn Tennis and Squash magazine gave no inkling of the success that Khan was going to have during the decade. The match was played at the New Grampians Club.

Not surprisingly, a look at men’s 1987-8 event winners sees Jahangir and Jansher Khan dominating the major events, leaving little room for the chasing Australia posse and other contenders. There was a far great spread of winners beyond the majors.
