The governing body of the professional women's squash tour, WISPA, has announced that Madrid will host this year's World Open. The event had been in doubt after negotiations with other hosts had fallen through.
Promisingly for the event, the $100,000 prize fund at stake makes it the richest event ever to be staged in women's squash.
Time to start booking those early Easyjet flights ...
Have your say:
How strong is the women's game?
