Kennedy and Marche Ruled Out of Malaysian Open

France’s Gregoire Marche and England’s Georgina Kennedy are two of a number of players who have been forced to withdraw from the upcoming Malaysian Open Squash Championships.

Men’s World No.16 Marche suffered an injury following his MARIGOLD Singapore Squash Open defeat to French compatriot Victor Crouin, while World No.9 Kennedy, who has suffered with both illness and injuries this season, has been unable to recover from an issue sustained in a Singapore Open defeat to the USA’s Sabrina Sobhy.

Also ruled out from the upcoming Malaysian Open are Lisa Aitken, Joshna Chinappa, Tinne Gilis, Todd Harrity, Mahesh Mangaonkar and Farida Mohamed, who have been ruled out either through injury or due to personal reasons.

The withdrawals have seen a number of changes in the draw, details of which can be found below.

The Malaysian Open Squash Championships, a Bronze-level event on the PSA World Tour, take place 22-26 November.

All of the action will be streamed live on SQUASHTV. You can stay up to date with anything related to the event by following the PSA on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
