The World's Best Pros Content for the Prestigious US Open Crown

The Six leading contenders for the 2002 US Open title and two dark-horse candidates:

	Jonathon Power, Canada: Jonathon Power has been the hottest player in professional squash for the past six months. Most recently, Power scored a decisive victory over his arch-rival Peter Nicol in the Gold Medal match at the Commonwealth Games. Power has won his last four meetings with Nicol.
Peter Nicol, England: Peter Nicol is the world #1 ranked player, but has struggled in recent months, in particular losing his last four meetings with Jonathon Power and losing to English rival Lee Beachill in the 2002 British Nationals. Nicol is a multiple winner of the US Open and he scored a decisive win over Power in the January 2002 Memorial US Open.
	John White, Scotland. White has quietly been sitting on the fringe of the top four for the past several seasons. White, whose game combines aggressive offence with acrobatic court coverage, will definitely be a factor in this year's US Open. White, who was stranded in Newfoundland last September 11 en route to the tournament and drove all night through Canada and Maine to reach Boston, will be looking forward to a more routine leadin to the event.
David Palmer, Australia. Will the real David Palmer please stand up? Palmer, who ascended to world number one a year ago on the strength of his performance at the British Open 01, was graceful as #1 and elected president of the PSA. More recently, his ranking dropped to #4 and he has been increasingly petulant of late, most recently accusing Peter Nicol of cheating in the Commonwealth Games semifinal doubles match.
	Stewart Boswell, Australia. Boswell has quietly surpassed fellow Australians Paul Price and Anthony Ricketts on the world stage. The inventive and exciting Boswell has also edged ahead of more heralded young pro, Lee Beachill from England. Though Beachill has scored several important victories over Peter Nicol and Boswell.
Lee Beachill, England. Lee Beachill, an exciting young English player who has somewhat escaped from the mold of defensive English squash tactics, has risen to challenge Peter Nicol's position as England #1. Beachill will require more Superseries tournament consistency to move into the world's top five, however. Beachill, who has experienced a star-crossed young career, as he was sidelined by a progression of non-squash related injuries, is poised for a breakthrough 2002.
	Stefan Casteleyn, Belgium. Casteleyn made a strong appearance in the top ten two years ago, only to plummet in the rankings due to injury and due to lack of competion at his base in California. Now renewed physically and evidently re-energized, Casteleyn has been impressive in recent tourney appearances. Look for him as a threat to go deep into this tournament.
Amr Shabana, Egypt. Amr Shabana comes to the world stage with the same magical inventiveness, quickness, attacking tendancies, and electricity as the Egyptian stars who came before him. With a career ahead of him, Shabana has the potential for greatness and will provide excitement in Boston.
