The Paris Squash 2024 got underway today. Held across three different venues in the French Capital, day one delivered intense, high-stakes squash, with France’s Gregoire Marche and Baptiste Masotti stealing the spotlight.

In front of enthusiastic home crowds, the pair produced thrilling 3-2 victories over England’s Marwan ElShorbagy and Qatar’s Abdulla Al-Tamimi, becoming the only French players to advance to the second round.

In a nail-biting contest, Marche showed his undoubted quality, racing out to a 2-0 lead and looking certain to be progressing to the next round. ElShorbagy, known for his tactical prowess and intelligent squash, fought back to level the match at 2-2. Marche, spurred on by the home crowd, managed to find extra reserves in the deciding game to take it 11-4 and move into only his second Platinum event last 16 appearance in over two years.

It looked as though Marche was set to be the only home player featuring in the second round with Masotti trailing 2-0 in the final match of the day’s play. The Qatar No.1 was sharp out the gates and allowed Masotti no time on the ball whatsoever. With the boisterous Parisian crowd behind him, the 29-year-old Frenchman mounted his comeback and started to put pressure on Al-Tamimi, who eventually ran out of winners to give France a second home winner of the day.

In the women’s event, the fairytale comeback of 12-time French national champion Camille Serme was brought to a grinding halt as she fell to World No.1 and top seed Nour ElSherbini in straight games on the all glass court at the famous Cirque d’hiver Bouglione. Serme came through the qualifying event with flying colours but was understandably no match for the 7-time World Champion.
