Partnership with Ziad Sakr

We’re delighted to announce that we will be teaming up with Ziad Sakr, who achieved his highest World Ranking of #179 last month. Ziad, 24, joined the tour proper last year and climbed over 500 positions in his first 12 months. Having briefly joined the tour in 2016, Ziad interrupted his PSA career to study at Trinity, where he obtained a 42-9 record during his studies.

We’re very much looking forward to bringing a new dimension to Ziad’s match preparation and analysis, as he turns his attention to the Squash On Fire Wild Card Challenge this week.

Ziad had the following to say:

“I'm really excited about teaming up with Cross Court Analytics. I believe this partnership will make a big difference in my squash journey. Being a pro squash player with a data science background, I value data and enjoy gaining insights. It's not just about the numbers for me; it's about figuring out patterns in those stats and connecting the dots to every shot in every corner of the court, understanding the reasons behind winning or losing rallies. This data will help me get ready for my matches and analyze them afterward. I'm confident that this collaboration will change how I approach the game, using data to plan my moves and reshape how each match unfolds. Looking forward to the journey ahead with them!”
