Paris Squash 2024 Day One: Preview & How To Watch Live

The first Platinum-level event of the PSA Squash Tour season begins today as 64 of the world’s best squash players head to the French capital to contest Paris Squash 2024.

This year’s competition is being hosted at the historic Cirque d’Hiver Bougilione – the oldest active circus in the world and a renowned Parisian landmark – with action today also taking place at Squash Horizon and Squash Montmartre clubs.

Every moment of Paris Squash 2024 will be available to watch live on SQUASHTV. You can also grab 25% of your SQUASHTV annual pass by using the code “PARIS25”.

You can also watch the first five matches of the glass court for free on YouTube,.

On the spectacular all-glass court, play begins with what could be an instant classic at 12:30 (GMT+2), as former World No.1 Mostafa Asal goes up against the ever entertaining ‘Colombian Cannonball’ Miguel Rodriguez.

Asal, a beaten World Championship finalist at the end of last season, is one of seven Egyptians in action on the glass court today, with men’s and women’s World No.1s Ali Farag and Nour El Sherbini taking on USA’s Timothy Brownell and French squash legend Camille Serme, who has returned from retirement and wowed in a 3-0 win over compatriot Enora Villard in the final of the Paris Squash Wildcard Play-Off.

Former World No.2 Serme will be joined on the glass by three compatriots: with French men’s No.1 Victor Crouin facing former world champion Karim Abdel Gawad, while Sebastien Bonmalais takes on New Zealand’s former World No.1 Paul Coll and Baptiste Masotti goes up against Qatar’s Abdulla Al-Tamimi in the last match of the day.

Meanwhile, on the traditional courts at Squash Horizon and Squash Montmartre, there is more home interest as up-and-coming French talents Melvil Scianimanico and Lauren Baltayan make their first appearances at a major PSA event, while the experienced Gregoire Marche and Auguste Dussourd are also in action.
