2009 U.S. Open Squash Championships, September 2-6

The 2009 U.S. Open Squash Championship boasts six of the World’s Top Ten players. This year’s field is poised to showcase squash’s best athletes on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile.

This unique event – to be held in an all-glass court in Pioneer Court, between Tribune Tower and the Chicago River – continues to elevate the city’s profile, as well as the sport of squash, which is played in more than 150 countries by an estimated 20 million people.

The 2009 U.S Open is expected to draw sports enthusiasts, spectators and the news media. Last year, the tournament was covered by major local outlets, including the Chicago Tribune, CBS, FOX and WGN-TV, to name a few, bringing the game of squash – not to mention the event’s sponsors – to tens of thousands of Chicagoans each day that matches were played.
