ISDA Squash Tour 2010

Preston Quick

Nationality: American

Resides: Boston

Birthday: 1978-03-10

Occupation: Head squash professional at the Union Boat Club

Preferred wall: Right

The only American ranked in the ISDA top 12, this 31-year-old Colorado native currently based in Boston (as the head pro at the Union Boat Club for the past two years) has for the past three and a half seasons teamed with John Russell in forming a top-four partnership on the tour whose best moment came when they captured the ’07 U. S. National Doubles. That feat marked the fourth career ISDA ranking-tournament win for Quick, who had annexed ISDA titles during 2005-06 in New York, Wilmington and Boston as the left-wall partner of Ben Gould, making Quick therefore one of only two players (Damien Mudge is the other) to have won an ISDA ranking event on each wall. His squash versatility has become evident on a number of other fronts as well, including his ’06 World Doubles wins just five days apart in Toronto in both the Men’s flight (on the right wall) with Chris Deratnay and the Mixed draw (on the left) with Narelle Krizek; the ’06 U. S. Mixed Doubles title that he and younger sister Meredeth earned at the final-round expense of Gary Waite and Jessie Chai (who held a fourth-game match-ball) before they were edged out 18-17 in the fourth game of the ’07 finals by Krizek and Paul Price; and, perhaps most notably, by his standing as the only player ever to win both the U. S. National Men’s singles and doubles championships on consecutive years, a feat that Quick accomplished when he and Eric Vlcek won the ’03 and ’04 U. S. National Doubles, in each case just a few weeks after he had soloed through the U. S. National Singles draws.
