by Nancy Keates

February 15, 2015 -The Oregon Open 2015 is set to begin Monday in idyllic downtown Portland Oregon. Players battling it out on the courts of the Multnomah Athletic Club can emerge for a break to stroll the streets of this vibrant city,  where snow-capped Mount Hood floats above neighborhoods packed with trendy bars, espresso shops, music venues and funky, celebrity-chef-run restaurants. There may be blizzards raging across much of the rest of the U.S. this week, but the weather in Portland is forecast to be sunny and mild.

 “The growing Portland squash community is eagerly looking forward to experiencing a showcase of world-class squash first hand,” says tournament chair Anders Giltvedt. Ticket sales for the Oregon Open 2015 are up 25% over the 2014 Oregon Open, an indication of the growing squash community in Portland and the strong field of professionals from around the globe who have entered.
