Nottingham Open Doubles 2022 

Tournament Report and Results Published - Monday 21st February

It was fantastic to return to the Nottingham Squash Rackets Club for the biggest Squash Doubles event in the country. After missing out last year, the 2022 Nottingham Open Doubles was a chance to catch up with some old friends and get back on court for some great squash! With more courts available than in previous years, we were able to run Quarter-Finals in each grade, with the top 2 from each group making it through to the knock-out stages. This kept groups alive for longer than before, and produced some huge results and upsets to the seedings across all the grades. 

The Mixed Grade got things underway over on court 10, with an early start and matches continuing throughout the day. There were close matches and upsets throughout, with the grade being best summarised by Group C. Three pairs finished on 5 points, and having each beaten one of the other there was no way to split them at the end of the group stage! Matt Thompson/Jess Morgan, Andy Hopwood/Saoirse O'Sullivan, and Alex Whitehouse/Elaine Radcliffe then played a mini-knockout to see who would progress, with Thompson/Morgan going through as winners and Whitehouse/Radcliffe in second. Number 2 seeds Sam Gibbon/Faiza Zafar would knock out the Number 1 seeds Mike Andrews/Hayley Openshaw-Blower in a tight 2/1 Semi-Final, with Gibbon/Zafar going on to beat local pair Elliot Green/Lucy Townley in the final, a repeat of their earlier group stage match. 

In the E Grade, top-seeded Nottingham pair Jane Berry/Susan Pynegar won all of their group matches, and were joined in the semi-finals by Brian Gibbon/Greg Robson. In Group B Richard Burton/Mike Sturrock, Garrie Darling/Mick Deakin, and Ed Purse/Richard Davies each won 2 lost 1. Burton/Sturrock came through as group winners by virtue of an extra game, with Purse/Davies in second having beaten the Darling/Deakin pair earlier. In the final, Burton/Sturrock would put a stop to Berry/Pynegar's excellent run of form to take the title for the E Grade.

The D Grade continued the trend of tight matches and unseeded pairs taking the fight to higher-ranked teams. Group D presented another closely-fought group with all pairs scoring wins throughout. 3 pairs finished on 4 points, with the final pair close behind on 3. Elaine Radcliffe/Roxy Keshavarz and Mike Broadbent/Jet Stoker would progress to the Quarters having won the most matches, with Radlcliffe/Keshavarz going through as group winners by virtue of victory over Broadbent/Stoker. With the 1, 4, and 6 seeds not making it through, this grade was wide open as the quarter-finals progressed and the title looked to be anyone's for the taking. In the first SF, 5 Seeds Wayne Scott/Graeme Pembury got past 8 Seeds Frank Sheeran/Nick Gollaglee in a close encounter. The second SF saw the 2 and 3 seeds go head-to-head, with Aisling Guerzoni/Hayley Openshaw-Blower winning a spot in the final over Radcliffe/Keshavarz. Guerzoni/Openshaw-Blower would go on to win the final, dropping just the one game the whole day.

The C Grade saw a last-minute change, with an on-the-day dropout opening the way for Metheringham Daniel Carlile/Jack Buckley to play. They made the most of the opportunity, winning 2 of their group stage matches and coming through in second place. 3 of the top 4 seeds had been knocked out by the time the Semi-Finals came around, with Carlile/Buckley losing out to Angus Clapham/Sam Burton in the first and 3 Seeds Matt North/Josh Stinson overcoming Toby Westall/Mark Oliver in the second. NTU pair North/Stinson would go on to win the final and take the title for the C Grade. 

The B Grade was filled with drama, as injuries and upsets took out the 2 and 5 seeds in the group stages. Top seeds Ivan Garrahan/Kieran Heaphy looked in cruise control for most of the day, comfortably winning their group and making it through both the Quarters and the Semi-Finals. They were joined by 4 Seeds Tom Pepper/Jonny Duffield from Wigginton, who enjoyed a similar run of form to set up a highly-anticipated final. In a match which saw momentum swing one way and another, the neither pair wanted to give an inch but it was Pepper/Duffield who eventually completed the upset and took home the title. 

It's a testament to the quality of the grades and the competitiveness of everyone involved that it was only during the A Grade that the seeded pair all made it through unscathed. Top seeds Adam Turner/Nick Wall Jnr and 3 seeds Owain Taylor/Michael Andrews looked in ominous form, both pairs coming through without dropping a game. The semi-finals saw the top 4 pairs battle it out, with Adam Taylor/Tom Bamford putting up a huge fight against Turner/Wall Jnr in the first SF but not able to pull off the upset. Fresh from his Mixed Grade SF, Michael Andrews joined Owain Taylor in the second A Grade SF against Adam Auckland/Matt Gregory, with the former proving a bit too consistent for the 2 seeds. In the last match of the day, Taylor/Andrews took on Turner/Wall Jnr in front of a packed Nottingham crowd. Drawing on the support from behind the glass, Taylor/Andrews put up a huge fight with both pairs enjoying spells of momentum and swings of points in their favour. The Sheffield pair eventually pulled away, and when they won the second 12/10 Adam Turner and Nick Wall Jnr took the Nottingham Open Doubles title for the first time. 

Congratulations to everyone involved, and a huge thank you to Nottingham Squash Rackets Club and all the staff who made the day possible. 
We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Court Schedule published - sunday 13th february

Following on from the release of the Draws a few days ago, we have now published the schedule for the Nottingham Open Doubles next Saturday. 

After a long break, it's great to be back for the biggest doubles event of the country, and we've got a great mix of new faces and returning players. We're looking forward to seeing you all for what should be a fantastic day of squash.

As always, a couple of things to note. 

Mixed Doubles players should be aware that the matches are across several different courts and times due to the number of players entering other grades. Please remember to stay on top of when and where your next matches are. 

We've tried to concentrate other grades around times and courts, so that players have some time off between matches but aren't waiting around for hours just for one match. 
In the past, this balance has worked well across all our events. 

We've tried to minimise back-to-back matches, but due to numbers and the amount of players entering multiple grades there are a few of these. Remember, all matches are Best of 3, so those of you who are in this situation shouldn't feel it too much! 

Withdrawals

We still have a number of pairs on the reserve list, so anyone who does want to drop out please let us know so that we can offer the place to those who do want to play in time for them to make the necessary arrangements. 

Bar Deals

As always, NSRC will be putting on food and drink throughout the day. We'll publish details of any deals as soon as we can, and hopefully we'll see lots of you sticking around afterwards for the social!

On The Day

We had close on 200 entrants this year, so it's been one of the biggest and most challenging to-date. We've tried to avoid back-to-backs as much as possible, but with some players it's been unavoidable - that's part of the day when you sign up for multiple grades! If there are any direct clashes that we've missed, please let us know ASAP so that we can juggle the courts around. 

We will of course be running the usual tournament desk on the day to ensure things go smoothly, so remember to check with us for live timings and updates. 

We look forward to seeing you all again, best of luck to everyone!

draws published - friday 11th february

The draws are now released for the 2022 Nottingham Open Doubles. The standard of entries was exceptional this year, with some highly-competitive groups across all grades. It's all set to be a fantastic day of doubles, and we're looking forward to seeing everyone back in Nottingham for one of our favourite events on the calendar!

Match schedules will be released by the start of next week, so keep an eye out to know when your first matches will be on.

Remember to stick around after the finals and prize ceremony for the famous Boat Race, and a much-needed evening of socialising in the Club Bar and Nottingham city centre.

Please see below for the 2022 Nottingham Open Doubles Draws.

Seedings have been done on combined Squash Levels for each pair. We have tried to follow a standard seeding format as much as possible, ie. 1 grouped with 8, 2 with 7, 3 with 6, and 4 with 5. Top halves consist of seeds 1 and 4, bottom halves seeds 2 and 3. 

However, we have also juggled pairs depending on home clubs within the group, for example if the 4 and 5 pairings from one grade are both from Nottingham Squash Club, we have split them up to give everyone a chance at playing new opponents. 

We have found this balance to be the fairest and best for the community in the past. 

updated entry lists - thursday 3rd February

Picture
With a couple of weeks to go until the biggest Doubles Tournament of the year, the Nottingham Open Doubles 2022 is now full. We've had a huge amount of entries this year, with some highly competitive grades throughout. It's sure to be a great day of doubles, and we're looking forward to the return of one of the most popular events of the year!

We've arranged the grades by Combined Squash Levels, with the top 16 pairs in the A Grade, the next 16 in the B, and so on. You may find yourself in a slightly different grade to your original entry, but this is the fairest way of organising the grades and ensuring everyone has a competitive chance. 

All Squash Levels were accurate at the time of entry. 

See below for a full list of entries, including the Reserve list.

If you're on the reserve list for now - don't panic! We normally expect a number of withdrawals in the build up to the tournament, and this year especially we're expecting a few places to open up over the coming days. 

Reserve places are offered to the first pair to have entered by each grade. Anyone who doesn't play will of course receive a full refund. 

Updated Entry Lists - Thursday 20th January

The Nottingham Open Doubles 2022 is now just one month away, and with the entry deadline fast approaching there are now only 16 places left - so be sure to sign up if you still want to play!

This year looks set to be one of the most competitive editions of the tournament, featuring 3 Commonwealth Games Doubles players as well as one of England's Rising Stars, World Number 70 Nick Wall Jr. 

There'll be plenty of action in lower grades as well, with the C Grade and Mixed Grade in particular looking highly competitive. There's still time to enter, but with places quickly running out you'll have to be fast if you still want to play one of the most popular events on the calendar.

​Tournament Format

  • All grades will have group stages leading into a knockout.
  • The top two teams from every grade will progress to the semi-finals.
  • All competitors are guaranteed at least three matches!
  • All matches will be best of three games PAR scoring to 11. Sudden death at 10-10.  

​The popularity of this event has meant that there has sometimes been waiting periods between matches. This year we will aim to have all C, D and E grade group stage matches finish before lunch. This means that A and B grade matches will not begin until after lunch. All semi-final and final matches will then take place later in the afternoon. 


​Tournament Rules 

Serving: There will be a 1st and 2nd server. In the first point of a game the 2nd server will serve.

Courts
: The A Grade will play on a doubles sized court. All other grades will all play on standard sized squash courts. This includes the semi-finals and finals. 

Scoring: Scoring will be PAR (Point a rally) to 11. If the game reaches 10-10 then it is sudden death to 11. Matches will be best of 3 games.

Strokes and Lets:
 Strokes will only be awarded if the ball hits a player or if someone is deliberately blocking and obstructing play.

Timekeeping
: Everyone must be aware of the times that they are on court. It is your responsibility to find on when you need to be on
court.  Please be aware that some courts can run faster or slower so make sure you are aware of who is on court before you. Unless a genuine reason has been declared to the tournament organiser the following rule will be enforced: For every 5 minutes late on court a game will be awarded against you.​

Note that the file above is the entry list from 2020, this is not this years entry list
Select the grade that you would like to enter. For the most part we will stick to this however if some grades sell out then we might need to move players into different grades. We will use SquashLevels to help us do this but will still use subjective judgement as SquashLevels, although accurate in many regions is not completely accurate across all regions. 

There might be a situation where players in a lower grade do have a higher SquashLevels than a player in the grade above.
 
There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is that I will not drop players down by more than one grade (they might have doubles specialists and squash levels only takes into account singles). I have taken into account how early people entered as I think that this is fair. I hope that this all makes sense, where possible I have tried to keep people happy so that everyone has a great time on Saturday!


Timings and faqs

The most frequently asked questions that we receive are around timings, when the day is likely to start and when you are likely to finish. Until all of the entries are in it is obviously impossible to know how much time the event will take up but if it mirrors 2020 below are the main timings. 

Grades C,D and E: 9:00 start with group stages finishing by roughly 14:00 - players will then go into a knockout, once a team has lost they will be finished. 

​Grades A and B: Start around midday 
Mixed Grade: Start at 9:00 with the group matches running throughout the day. 

Tournament finals, if you make it all the way and the presentation is likely to be around 20:00

At the bottom of the page is links to the previous years events, this will give you a good idea on how everything has shaped up in the past. 


​The return of Peter Marshall and Simon Parke

Picture
Two squash legends are set to make their annual return to Nottingham Squash Club for the Innes England Nottingham Open doubles. Ex World no.2 Peter Marshall and ex World no.3 Simon Parke will form a legendary squash doubles pairing and take on the young professionals in the A Grade. 

Peter Marshall
With his unique double-handed playing style, Marshall finished runner-up to the great Pakistani player Jansher Khan at the World Open in 1994 and the British Open in 1995. When he reached the World No. 2 ranking behind Jansher in November 1994, many observers felt he seemed a strong candidate to displace the aging Pakistani champion as World No. 1. However, in 1995, Marshall was afflicted with glandular fever, the effects of which meant he was unable to play top-level squash for two years.

Marshall returned to the professional tour in 1997, re-claiming his place in the England squad which went on to win the World Team Squash Championship title in Malaysia. He broke back into the world's top-10 in 1999, and won his third British National Championship title in February 2000. He was protecting a remarkable record, having been unbeaten in that event since December 1989.

​Simon Parke​
Parke was part of the England team that won the 1995 Men’s World Team Squash Championships and 1997 Men’s World Team Squash Championships. He also won the US Open title in 1999 and won the British National Championships in 1998.
Parke reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 3 (Oct 2000).
