I must say I am totally destroyed by messages like this
http://www.nationalsquashchamps.co.uk/08-matthewout.htm

"Matthew, who won the title in 2006, also missed the 2007 event after damaging ankle ligaments last January."

Sad. Or (as some of better native-speakers say) - that's gay.

Christ.

Doesn't take a genius to work out they're playing far too many tournaments around the world...

Yupp,
looking at the line up of ToC there's no need for the prophet to claim it's a traveling clinic. Who from the top 12 was not suffering anything in 2007?

PSA-Squash.com should establish new bookmark next to the players' names with injuries and operations...

Guess it comes down to money. The pros have to play a lot of tournaments to make enough money to get by.

I would be interested as to whether these guys have access to the best medical resources. It is not like footballers or rugby guys who have the club structure with the money to send their players all over the world to get fixed.

Do the Pros rely on the NHS or private medical insurance - I bet the top guys may have some insurance but the cost is high so the lower ranked players probably won't.

I also think that the pressure to get back on tour for the cash and ranking points means that they possibly never really recover.
