PSA World Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The PSA World Series (formerly known as the PSA Super Series) is a series of men's squash tournaments which are part of the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour. The PSA World Series touranaments are some of the most prestigious events on the men's tour. The best-performing players in the World Series events qualify for the annual PSA World Series Finals tournament.
Each year, several tournaments on the tour are designated World Series events. These include major events such as the World Open and the PSA Masters. Then, early the next year, the eight best-performing players from the Super Series events are invited to compete in the PSA World Series Finals (a similar event to the ATP World Tour Finals).
The Super Series Squash Finals were first staged in Vitis Club in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1993 and 1994. The event was then moved to England. It was held at the Galleria shopping complex in Hatfield from 1996-98. From 1999-2006, it was held in the Broadgate Arena in London. In 2007, the event was moved to the National Squash Centre in Manchester. In 2009, the tournament was shortened to a four-day format and played at the Queen's Club in London.
