AussieNick in association with SquashRevolution are following on from the success of the first 7 years of the National Capital Open and are proud to announce the 2015 Charlotte Open Squash Tournament, which will feature a men's pro event, an adults tournament, and a social. The 2012/13 NCO tournaments were very popular with the DC community. The WSA event was won by US #1 Amanda Sobhy. The men's event, a marathon of record proportions, was won by Canada's Shawn DeLierre over Englishman Adrian Waller in a 157m epic at the Chevy Chase Athletic Club. The match remains the second longest pro match in history, under the PAR scoring system. It was recently broken at this years TOC, broken again by Shawn DeLierre.
