SquashMedia.org FIVE-TIMES WORLD CHAMPION SARAH FITZ-GERALD IN SWEDISH OPEN PROMOTION Australia's Sarah Fitz-Gerald will make her first international appearance on a squash court since winning her record fifth World Open title last November when she attends the Catella Swedish Open in Linkoping in Sweden from 6th to 9th February. Sarah, who has spent the past month in Australia training and working as a special ambassador for her home country's Australia Day celebrations, will play a series of challenge matches in Linkoping. In addition to matches against New Zealand's world No17 Shelley Kitchen, she will also participate in a mixed doubles event featuring PSA players competing in the Swedish Open. "To have Sarah here will mean a lot for ladies squash in Sweden," said Tournament Director and former international player Fredrik Johnson on www.SquashMedia.org. "We also hope Sarah will take part in the Pro-Am tournament we are organising, in which former Wimbledon tennis champion Stefan Edberg will be competing - so, who knows, there might be a Sarah v Stefan match!" "The response to this year's Swedish Open has been fantastic," Johnson added. "Swedish TV will be doing a number of interviews, etc., and regional TV will be covering all Sarah's matches. We are working hard to organise one of the best squash tournaments in the world."
