Players jostle for prize money, ranking points at Lagos Prime Atlantic Squash Open

The Lagos Prime Atlantic Squash Open offers a prize pool of N2 million and valuable Professional Squash Association ranking points

A lot is at stake in the second edition of the Prime Atlantic Squash Open, which served off at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, on Tuesday in Lagos.

Friday Daniel defeated James Awotundun 3-0 in the opening match of the U-16 category, while Umar Musa beat Lanre Yusuf 3-1 in the best of five games. “I hope I can repeat my 2022 performance again this year, but I know it is not going to be easy because everybody is playing well. “Winning cash prizes is good, but for the genuine development of squash, organising PSA-certified tournaments is the ultimate,” Adegoke said.

“We hope this can also help us ahead of the 2028 Olympic Games, which had included squash among the events listed for the games in Los Angeles, United States,” he added. “Our players have been able to showcase themselves, and we hope that this tournament will help them to shape up for major international tournaments as well as improve their ranking fortunes,” he said.
