London Squash Classic Returns to Alexandra Palace for Spectacular 2025 Edition

• The London Squash Classic presented by Bassim Haidar returns to the iconic Alexandra Palace Theatre for its highly anticipated second edition, running from September 3-7, 2025. Following last year’s spectacular debut, this PSA Gold-level tournament promises five days of world-class professional squash in one of London’s most prestigious venues.

British Open Champion Diego Elias and USA No.1 Olivia Weaver are the top seeds in the men’s and women’s tournaments respectively, headlining a stellar field of international talent. In the men’s event reigning champion Paul Coll returns to defend his title as the No.2 seed. The New Zealander defeated Joel Makin and Mostafa Asal on route to victory in the inaugural event last year.

The London Squash Classic 2025 presented by Bassim Haidar is jointly promoted by Eventis Sports Marketing and Squash Media & Marketing, continuing the partnership that delivered such success in the tournament’s inaugural year. The event has quickly established itself as a must-see fixture on the professional squash calendar, attracting both elite players and enthusiastic crowds to the historic North London venue.

British duo Joel Makin and Marwan ElShorbagy are the No.3 and 4 seeds in the men’s draw, ensuring strong home representation. The women’s tournament features No.2 seed Amina Orfi. The 17-year-old claimed wins over three of the top four players in the world last season, making her a formidable challenger to top seed Weaver.

Defending champion Sivasangari expressed her excitement about returning to the venue, noting the “Ally Pally atmosphere is just electric”. The Malaysian player’s victory last year captured global attention and helped establish the tournament’s reputation for producing memorable moments.

The Gold-level event became an instant favourite amongst squash fans worldwide, with the unique atmosphere of Alexandra Palace Theatre providing an intimate yet grand setting for world-class competition. The venue’s rich history and distinctive Victorian architecture create an unparalleled backdrop for professional squash.

Tournament organizers have expanded the program to include qualifying rounds and enhanced spectator experiences, building on the foundation laid during the successful 2024 inaugural edition. The event starts at 3pm and includes four matches, two men’s & two women’s, best of five for the semi-finals, promising extended periods of high-quality entertainment.
