BETTING ON SQUASH
Squash is a sport which is similar to tennis because it's played with a racquet by two or four players (it's played with a small rubber ball). First played in 1830, squash has a long history in the world of sports and seems to grow bigger with each and every championship/competition. Online bookmakers now offer this sport and all squash fans worldwide can bet on their favorite players.
This sport originates in England from a game called "racquets" at that time. Much like tennis, squash had a similar evolution (at least in terms of racquets), soon becoming an international sport played in many countries. Currently there are around 50,000 squash courts in over 188 countries and England is among them with over 8,500 courts. Countries where squash has a very big influence are: Germany, Egypt, Australia, United States, Canada, South Africa, France, Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia.
International federation of squash is called World Squash Federation (WSF) and was founded in 1967. Since then it has worked to promote this sport and even to request for it to be added in the 2020 Summer Olympics. Squash is played in World Championships for men, women, juniors, masters (individual/team levels for singles and doubles). PSA World Series is one of the most popular series of squash tournaments, which includes: Tournaments of Champions, North American Open, Kuwait PSA Cup, British Open, US Open, World Championship, Qatar Classic, Hong Kong Open.
Professional players like Nick Matthew, Ramy Ashour, Gregory Gaultier and James Wilstrop managed to increase the popularity of the modern squash game and motivate many other players to compete in Closed Satellites, Challengers, International events, World Series and World Championships.
