2016 Delaware Investments U.S. Open Draws Released
#PSAWorldTour
The 2016 Delaware Investments U.S. Open looks set to be one of the most competitive events on the PSA World Tour this season after the official tournament draws released today (September 15) saw a host of top stars pitted against each other from the off in a mouth-watering line-up.
Philadelphia’s Drexel University will play host to the 10-day event – the second stop on the 2016/17 Road To Dubai – which gets under way on October 8 and will see defending champion Gregory Gaultier begin his campaign with a tough opening round fixture against England's top twenty ranked Daryl Selby.

The action in the Women's tournament looks set to be equally competitive and could see all of the world's top eight clash at the quarter-final stage in what could be a mouth-watering two days of action to send ripples through the PSA Road To Dubai Standings.
All the action will be shown live on SQUASHTV and Eurosport Player while action from the semi-finals and finals will be shown on mainstream broadcast channels around the world, including the likes of BT Sport, Ten Sport, beIN Sport and Fox Sport Australia.
