Everbright Securities International Hong Kong Squash Open 2022: Preview & How To Watch Live

The Everbright Securities International Hong Kong Squash Open 2022 returns for the first time to the PSA World Tour calendar since 2018 – with Mohamed ElShorbagy and Joelle King picking up the titles on that occasion. The event will take place from November 28 – December 4, with play beginning at the Hong Kong Squash Centre, before moving to the Hong Kong Park Sports Centre from the quarter-finals onwards.

New Zealand’s Paul Coll is the No.1 seed for the event after Ali Farag’s withdrawal. Coll features in the draw for the second time in his career, his best finish coming in 2018 where he reached the quarter-final stage as the No.6 seed, losing out to ElShorbagy. Coll recieves a bye in round one but will then face tough opposition in the following round as he faces Colombian Miguel Rodriguez, who also receives a round one bye. 

In the women’s draw, Gohar will look to capture a second Hong Kong Open title after winning in 2016. The U.S. Open champion has captured two titles and reached three finals so far this season and will look to continue her strong momentum into the third women’s Platinum event. Gohar will start her campaign in round two against the winner of the all-Hong Kong battle between wildcard Ching Hei Fung and Tomato Ho.

World Champion Nour El Sherbini is the No.2 seed and comes into the tournament in good form after picking up the Grasshopper Cup title. El Sherbini will be looking to avenge her loss to Gohar in the U.S. Open if the pair meet in the final. El Sherbini will aim to capture this title for the first time in her career after her 2017 triumph. She will face compatriot Nadine Shahin in round two after the pair both receive byes in round one.

There is plenty of home interest in the event with nine Hong Kong players featuring in the event and all in action on day one.

Action from the Hong Kong Open will be streamed live on SQUASHTV, while the semi-finals and finals will also be shown on the channels of PSA’s broadcast partners.
