Womens World Draw

WISPA FINDS 11th HOUR $61,000

After the late withdrawal of their backer, the Women's International Squash Players' Association (WISPA) have managed to secure $61,000 from various sources to ensure that the Women's World Open Squash Championship proceeds as a centrepiece of the Melbourne International Squash Festival this week in Australia. WISPA Director Andrew Shelley confirmed that the body had pulled out all the stops to maintain the high prize fund - and without using any of WISPA's own funds.

"We were fortunate to secure some great backing from various sources in the last couple of weeks because we couldn't even begin to support it from our own resources," said Shelley in Melbourne. "The Festival organisers have been hammered by the withdrawal of the underwriters, but with a fully-funded Women's World Open and Men's Team Championship to follow, the Festival will be able to follow Masters week." The 17th Women's World Open got underway at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre today (Sunday) with Melbourne-born Carol Owens, playing in her first event as a New Zealander, defending the title she won last year in Scotland.
