The 2022 London Open Squash Championship proved a huge hit once again at the Cumberland Club.

Some of the biggest names in the sport battled it out for honours in the women's and men's competitions, which were held over five rounds.

Millie Tomlinson was the top seed in the women's event, which had prize money of $12,000, and beat Egypt's Nour Ramy (11-4 11-7 11-3) and fellow England international Anna Kimberley (11-6 11-7 11-7), before losing in five games in the semi-finals to Hana Moataz.

After taking the first game 11-9, Tomlinson saw her rival hit back to win the next two 11-2 11-3, but forced a decider after winning the fourth game 11-5.

Moataz edged the decider 11-9, though, to settle a contest that lasted 57 minutes and met second seed Georgia Adderley, of Scotland, in the final.

The first two games were close, with Egypt's Moataz taking them 13-11 11-9, but Adderley answered back by winning the third 11-4.

Moataz clinched the title, however, after 58 minutes on court after winning an epic fourth game 18-16.

There was an early upset in the men's competition, which had prize money of $20,000, as the top seed and defending champion James Willstrop lost in the second round.

Fellow Englishman Simon Herbert beat him 11-6 11-2 9-11 11-5 in 37 minutes, having knocked out James Peach in four games in the first round.

But Herbert then lost in four games to Egypt's Aly Abou Eleinen (11-2 11-5 6-11 11-9), who saw number four seed Nick Wall retire after losing the first two games (11-2 11-3) of their semi-final contest.

The final saw Eleinen meet third seed Nathan Lake, who had beaten Emyr Evans of Wales in four games, Leandro Romiglio in three games and second seed George Parker in three games en route to the decider.

And after trading the first two games, Eleinen went on to win 11-6 4-11 11-3 11-8 in 44 minutes to claim the silverware.
