"Bermuda has definitely got that wow factor and all the players on tour cannot wait to get back there. Last year's event was very impressive all round ? a totally unique experience. I'm determined to do well, particularly as I went out early last year and didn't feel like I'd done myself justice" ? , the game's rising star

"The tournament has a special atmosphere and I really want to do well. Coming from an island myself I feel very comfortable in Bermuda. I was very upset with my performance there last year and this time round I'm prepared and really up for the challenge." ? , World Champion, born in the Reunion Islands.

"Bermuda is an immensely enjoyable place and I was not at all surprised they were awarded the Masters contract because they had already proved they could run a top-class tournament. Things went very well for me last year obviously, but I know repeating the feat is going to be an enormously difficult task." ? , Bermuda Open Champion 2004

"What Bermuda has achieved in such a short space of time is truly remarkable. They are right up there with the big boys now and long may it continue." ? , 'Voice of Squash'.
