Egypt's Ramy Ashour and Englishmen Nick Matthew and James Willstrop - winners of eight 2010 PSA Super Series titles between them - have been nominated for the PSA Player of the Year award at the 2010 World Squash Awards this week.
The sixth annual World Squash Awards will take place for the first time in the stunning Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal, New York, tomorrow (Thursday 20 January).
Ashour and Matthew each held the world's top ranking last year, with the Englishman wresting it back this month after becoming world champion for the first time in December. Willstrop is returning to New York this week to defend the JP Morgan Tournament of Champions crown he won last year.
The PSA nominations for Young Player of the Year include Aamir Atlas Khan (Pakistan), Mohamed El Shorbagy (Egypt) and Karim Abdel Gawad (Egypt).
"After one of the most successful years in our history, competition for our two awards is fiercer than ever," said PSA CEO Alex Gough.
PSA's SquashTV is the official live and video on-demand website of the Professional Squash Association.
