Anthony Ricketts is a professional squash player from Brisbane,
Australia.
Anthony has achieved a highest Professional Squash Association (PSA)
World Ranking of three and an Australian Ranking of two.
Anthony has won eight PSA World Tour titles; Virgina Pro Championship
(2007), British Open (2005), Bear Stearns Tournament of Champions
(2005), EBS Dayton Open (2003), Mulpha-Gosen Malaysian Open (2001),
Pakistan Circuit (2001), Eat Well Live Well Australian Open (2000) and
the YTL Open (1999).
In 2003, injury briefly threatened the fiery Australian’s career
before he returned hesitantly to the World Tour with a spectacular win
at the 2005 Tournament of Champions which proved a reliable indicator
of future success. His finest hour was still to come, when he famously
text the legendary Geoff Hunt and said he would bring back the 2005
Dunlop British Open trophy for the eight times former champion – a
promise he kept with a resounding victory over English rival James
Willstrop.
Anthony is managed by internationalSPORTgroup™ and his principal
sponsors are Wilson (rackets, clothing, equipment & luggage and
footwear) and e-squash™ (string).
