The Allam British Open which climaxed at the London Piazza, O2 Arena over the weekend in front of sellout crowds, has been widely hailed as a success by the leading players.
There was a touch of déjà vu about the results as well, when despite a two-year hiatus, as reigning champion Nick Matthew retained his title, and Nicol David captured the women's title for a fourth time.
After its London renewal, and as part of the three year contract with title partner Dr Assem Allam, the Allam British Open moves north next year when it will next be staged in Hull.
The return of the British open at London's O2 Arena, saw the world's best squash players cheered on by sellout crowds. How the Olympics still overlooks the sport is a mystery to the players and among the visitors to the British Open during the week was Olympic silver medalist Colin Jackson and members of the All Party Parliamentary Leisure Group.
The dates for the 2013 Allam British Open will be confirmed shortly.
