VENUE UPDATE | 2024 Squash Australian Open
Published Wed 20 Mar 2024
All matches of the 2024 City Tattersall’s Group Squash Australian Open scheduled for Martin Place will now be played at Sydney University.
Construction of the all-glass court in Sydney’s CBD commenced last Thursday, however poor weather since Saturday has impacted the build which now cannot safely be completed prior to Sunday’s finals.
“The all-glass court in Martin Place was generating fantastic interest through the squash and wider community, which makes this outcome incredibly disappointing,” said Robert Donaghue, Squash Australia CEO.
“Construction was on-schedule last Friday, however the rain and wind we have experienced since then, and a forecast of high winds over the next 24-48 hours, means there is now simply not enough time to safely construct the court and complete final venue bump in.”
All matches of the PSA World Tour event will now be played at Sydney University Sport & Aquatic Centre.
Ticket holders will be contacted directly with more information.
All Squash Australian Open matches will still be streamed LIVE on Squash TV.
