Who could challenge for Foster's squash title?
Working it: Three-time defending national squash champion Patrick Foster has been training harder than ever so he can make it four in a row.

Nick Kyme

Likely to be seeded #2 in the tournament Bermuda's best ever squash player is expected to make the final.

At his professional peak he reached number 63 in the world and won this tournament in 2005.

'He's playing some of his best squash for ages at the moment. The pressure is off since he stopped playing professionally and he's in great form," said Foster who expects Kyme to be his closest rival.

James Stout

If Stout plays he will push Foster and Kyme all the way. Another former professional the Bermudian nudged the top 100 before deciding to specialize in Rackets.

He's reached world number one in the obscure sport and his fitness and superb hand-eye co-ordination would make him a threat to either of the top two seeds.

Came close in 2007 when he lost to Foster in five sets.

Mel Caines

Very much an outside bet for the tournament, Caines is an accomplished national squad player who has represented Bermuda all over the world.

He's more than a match for most of the players at the club but it may be asking too much of him to take out Kyme or Foster.

Micah Franklin

The 16-year-old has aspirations to go professional and will be looking to upset a few of the senior players here.

Franklin has been tipped as a future champion in the making but it is too early for him to seriously challenge for this year's title.

"I'll be expecting him to be pushing for a semi-final spot. He's a talented player it's just a question of whether he has the physical and mental strength for so many big games in a short space of time," said Foster
