2025 PSA Charlottesville Squash Open

The Professional Squash Association (PSA) have confirmed the draw for the 2025 Charlottesville Squash Open which will be staged at the Boar’s Head Resort in Virginia, USA for the third successive year.

Last year’s event marked a milestone for the city, stepping up from Challenger status to the PSA’s newly introduced Copper level. It proved a memorable debut, as Pakistan’s unseeded Muhammad Asim Khan produced a string of upsets to claim the biggest PSA World Squash Tour title of his career.

The Pakistan No.1 will be back to defend his crown, though once again unseeded and with a demanding route ahead. He begins against tournament wildcard JP Tew, the three-time US Junior National Squash Champion (U11, U13, U15) who will make his PSA World Squash Tour debut on home soil. Awaiting the winner is top seed and USA No.1 Timothy Brownell, fresh from victory at the Silicon Valley Squash Open.

JP Tew enters with the advantage of familiarity, having represented the University of Virginia for the past three seasons. He is joined by UVA teammate Juan Torres, who has been awarded the second wildcard. The Colombian has enjoyed a breakthrough summer, lifting three PSA Challenger titles in succession to rise to a career-high World No.104. 0Torres will open against American No.2 Shahjahan Khan, with the winner progressing to meet 2023 champion and last year’s runner-up Nick Wall in round two.

Nick Wall, seeded third this year, could be on course for a semi-final clash with fellow Englishman Nathan Lake, the No.2 seed. A repeat of the 2023 final, which Nick Wall won in four games, after also ousting top seed Leonel Cardenas, would see the two left-handers renew their rivalry. Both, however, face stern challenges in the early rounds: Nathan Lake could encounter either Sam Todd or Salah Eltorgman in round two, while Nick Wall shares his quarter with Pakistan’s rising star Noor Zaman.

Noor Zaman, the reigning U23 World Squash Champion and a nominee for PSA Men’s Young Player of the Year, has been handed a testing opener against Egypt’s Salman Khalil, the reigning US college individual champion who is one of two University of Pennsylvania standouts in the draw, joined by compatriot Omar Said. The pair have been prolific in recent months, amassing six PSA Challenger titles between them since April.
