13-Apr, Qualifying Begins:
The first day of the Grasshopper Cup saw eight qualifying matches, with wins for all the seeded players as all the locals bowed out.

Gaultier tops Grasshopper Cup draw

World No.2 Gregory Gaultier will be favourite to claim a 29th career PSA title when the PSA $70k Grasshopper Cup gets underway in Zurich.

The maverick Frenchman has failed to add to his title tally since winning the 2014 NetSuite Open but he'll be hungry to return to winning ways when the tournament moves to the new all-glass court at the city's Giessereihalle Puls 5 venue, but with six of the world's top ten, including 2014 World Champion and newly re-crowned El Gouna Ramy Ashour, all in contention, it promises to be an exciting week in Switzerland.

Home favourite Nicolas Mueller will take on Ashour in the first round, when he'll be hoping to spring a huge upset, while wildcard Reiko Peter faces a tough task against World No.9 Simon Rösner in one of the toughest 16-man draws seen on tour this year. And with Miguel Rodriguez, Tarek Momen, Borja Golan, Mathieu Castagnet and Omar Mosaad also all in contention, Swiss squash fans will be in for a treat of top class action.
