Ramy Retires to end Rotterdam Quarters
Quarter-finals day of the World Open Squash 2011 at the New Luxor Theatre in Rotterdam started with all eight men's seeds still in contention, and a few unexpected faces in the women's last eight. It progressed with all the higher-seeded players winning until the final match which was sadly cut short, and in the middle we had the final match of one of the greats of recent times.
