Zainab Tanimu – Kaduna, NIGERIA<\/p>\n

The Professional Squash Association (PSA) has unveiled the seeding list for the 2018 Lagos International Squash Classics holding on March 19 to 24 at the Molade-Okoya Thomas Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium.<\/p>\n

The tournament is being organized by the Lagos State Squash Association (LSSA) and supported by the Nigeria Squash Federation (NSF) and as a PSA-sanctioned event; the seeding list for the tournament was based on the global ranking of the players with Egypt\u2019s Karim Ali Fathi and Czech Republic\u2019s Eva Fertekova dominating the seeding list in the men and women events.<\/p>\n

Eight players were seeded in the men\u2019s category while six made the seeding list in the women division.<\/p>\n

Egyptian players dominated the men\u2019s seeding list with Karim Ali Fathi, who is ranked 39th<\/sup> in the world named the top seed.<\/p>\n

Other players seeded include Egypt\u2019s trio of Mazen Gamal (54), Mohamed Reda (58) and Karim El Hammamy (69) completing the top four seeds.<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Angus Gillams is fifth seed, while Egypt\u2019s Mohamed ElSherbini, Switzerland\u2019s Dimitri Steinmann and Egypt\u2019s Shehab Essam are seeded sixth, seventh and eighth respectively.<\/p>\n

No Nigerian player made the seeding list but Nigeria\u2019s highest ranked player in the world, Tunde Ajagbe got a wildcard into the 12-man list in the main draw of the men\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

The Czech Republic\u2019s Eva Fertekova, who is rated 102 in the world, is the number one seed in the women category.<\/p>\n

Other players that made the four-man seeding list include Egypt\u2019s Menna Nasser, Nigeria\u2019s Yemisi Olatunji and Egypt\u2019s Salma Youssef who are seeded second, third and fourth respectively.<\/p>\n

Aside top playing nations like France and Egypt, other nations listed for the six-day tournament include England, Germany, Switzerland, Portugal, Ireland, Iraq, South Africa, Belgium, United States, Pakistan, India and Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

The world ranking event would afford the players to amass points for their global rating as the men will share $15,000 while the women will be aiming for the $5000 purse.<\/p>\n
