Darwish Heads Super Series Final Line-Up
Egypt's new world number one Karim Darwish will head the line-up for the 2009 ATCO Super Series Finals, which will bring together the top eight qualifiers from the 2008 PSA Super Series World Tour. This year's event will be staged for the first time at the world famous Queen's Club in London from 14-17 March.
The modified four-day ATCO Super Series Finals - The Queen's Club 2009 will feature two pools of four players, leading to a 3rd/4th playoff and a final.
"There is no event as significant as a tour-end championship and since its inception in 1992 at the Vitis Club in Zurich, the Super Series Finals have transformed the World Tour into a race, creating a home straight and linking the world's most glamorous events and venues from New York's Grand Central Terminal to the shimmering Gulf of Arabia and beyond," said Ziad Al-Turki.
Darwish will head the star-studded eight-man line-up, which will also feature compatriots Ramy Ashour, the reigning World Open champion, Amr Shabana and Wael El Hindi; France's reigning ATCO Super Series Finals champion Gregory Gaultier and fellow countryman Thierry Lincou; British Open champion David Palmer of Australia; and England's James Willstrop.
