After many years of high quality consistent playing, going up against so many diverse and challenging opponents (especially the Egyptian 3 being Farag, Shorbagy and Asal) I can think of no one more deserving than Paul Coll to be world #1 currently!
Couldn't agree more
I would say Egiptian 10 at least.
Asal doesn't deserve to be mentioned in this
Immaculate game by Coll. Has so much time. So many options
It seemed like every shot he hit was absolutely perfect. Unbelievable.
The way Coll was bossing the T gave me flashbacks to Gaultier, the French General. He just looks so comfortable on the T, punching balls back with just a little more purpose and precision than Makin. Never seems off balance. The Kiwi Commodore!
Indeed. This makes Coll a difficult opponent for Makin because they play a similar game but Coll is a little bit better at it.
Coll just schooled Makin the entire match, hopefully Makin is taking notes, Paul is like Makin's future self if he plays his cards right.
I can’t think of a better retriever than Coll from the standpoint of recovery. There are other retrievers that could get to more balls, but in terms of being in position for the next shot, it’s hard to think of any better, except perhaps Jansher Khan in his prime. Coll is almost never out of position for the next shot. You used to see him scrambling around a lot, but now if he’s in trouble, he hits a shot to give himself time to get back to the T. His game is much better integrated than it used to be.
You don't reach world number one without eventually putting it all together.
Coll makes it look easy. Always has the opponent where he wants him, insane accuracy. Keep it up!
😂😂 could you imagine winning 3-0 and it still taking 70 minutes to win! Paul Coll is a beast!
And there wasn't even that many points per game!
Props to Makin too, any other player won't be able to go on against Paul physically like that barring the top 5.
Paul honestly looks like a completely different player from 18 months ago. His shot selection and his accuracy are so so good right now. He pretty much beat Joel Makin just hitting drives, crazy.
Absolutely. Not only the drives were excellent but you can actually see making getting fatigued and scrambling for balls. Making today was outclassed and out worked today.
Paul has a simple but lethal style of play.
Paul shots are Robot like precision,hardly any loose shots
Dessouky gifted the first game away.
And 12:10 wth is Makin complaining about? Does he want Coll to step on his back to get to the ball...
Paul Coll… amazing 💪🏻🙏🏻
Number 1 Paul... Very deserved.... Great player and person
I remember there were statistics about how many steps and how much distance a player covered in a round. Is this still available? Perhaps as part of the premium package for this channel?
Good on you, Paul - well deserved! May you reign for a long time!
Got to respect Coll he worked hard to be in that position and hopefully can stay there for a little while at least
Will there be more day in the life videos?
Really enjoyed them.
Yeah as soon as possible - they had to be stopped due to covid, but we've got one or two in mind for the near future
Paul Coll showing levels
Coll and Makin have a similar style of play, but Coll just that much more complete. Do think that Egyptians have a better chance of upsetting Coll's play. Can't beat him with athleticism, consistency, and line and length.
They do the same but coll just a bit better overall, particularly on the attack.
Someone like Asal or Ibrahim have better chances of beating Coll than Farag (doesn't attack or speed up the play the way Asal and Ibrahim do) or even Shorbagy (Mohamed simply can't keep up with a player like Coll anymore who's a physical anomaly but unlike Makin, has a much more precision and consistency to his game making him a complete player through a different route that majority of Egyptian players take.
This is all so good for the sport developing different play styles to reach the top, there will be much more diverse pool of players in the top in the coming years.
@@PrashanthRaoNDZ I definitely think Farag can raise his game and be better than Coll. Farag has spent so much time optimizing against the top Egyptian players, give him some time to learn Coll's improved game. With his fluid movement he spends less energy, can actually keep up with Coll. And when he does control the game he has a lot of attacking options. Better at switching things up than Coll IMO
Do agree it is wonderful for the sport (even if Coll's style is comparatively boring). Variety is fun.
@@andrewcutler4599 Yeah for sure, not just Farag but all top 5 players keep/need to adapt according to newer players, conditions and Ali thrives at it.
When Asal jumped into the scene most players were not prepared for that kind of athleticism, accuracy and speed, but now Ali, Coll, Momen, Elias etc have adjusted to match and hold there own against, only time before Ali or someone else decodes Paul's weaknesses, its a dynamic game!
Good to see such hard-working guys as Makin and Coll thrive. Their persistence finally seems to be a match for demigod-level talented people like Dessouky or Gawad.
I have been noticing Coll for a long time and I am happy that he got the number 1 spot! Fully deserved
Paul Coll is playing beautiful squash. He is not hitting outrageous winners. But playing beautiful error-free squash and moving his opponent around and in to submission. His lobs are the best I have seen. He uses it to best effect almost as the winner in many cases. Need a change at the top from the Egyptian stronghold. That will be good for Squash in long term.
Coll not deserving his superman title anymore, he's so good now he doesn't have to dive around the court to get the ball back.
A different kind of superman these days
Yup, lol!
@@berenscott9347 A mature Kal-el with a wife and kids!
As much as I like Makin, Coll just exploited his biggest weakness.... Makin is almost never a threat. He doesn't look to kill anything.
He's more of a threat than Coll was a couple years ago... at 27 years old he's still got some years of peak physical performance where he can improve his shotmaking.
@@andrewcutler4599 agree he has time and Makin is arguably the fittest athlete in the PSA. But we've seen Coll do a full 180 on his game that had no threats. Makin seems to not be making any proactive changes to be more aggressive.
Even just throwing in a similar shot Momen uses. Volley drops to apply pressure and force movement. Right now everyone knows you don't need to worry much about drops with Makin.
Coll’s accuracy has reached a whole other level.
Coll has come up with his own brand of squash...its more like the 80s squash with advanced movement of today's squash.....he is very unique in his approach....he relies more on not making errors and keep the ball in play and if there is a imprecise shot he covers it with his speed....Makin was clearly frustrated by Coll's tactics 😊
Coll v Makin is an appetiser for all of us lucky people at Truro Squash Club, Cornwall, Uk. The world numbers 1 and 5 are doing an exhibition this month and I’ll be marking it with Simon Martin, an England ref. Does life get any better?!
Not a Coll fan but he played textbook squash against makin.
Can someone clear something up for me? What speed is the ball they play with at this level?
I’ve watched so much PSA and I always feel like the ball is so much faster (bouncier) than the double yellow Dunlops we play with at my club.
Maybe it’s misleading to how hard they hit with relatively less effort but that ball comes off the back glass far more often than typical rallies I’m used to.
Thanks in advance.
7:37 :-) That was pretty funny about Raneem not looking too impressed ;-) She didn't though !
Can't believe Makin was arguing the stroke in game 3. Coll would have had to literally walk across his back to get to the ball!
02:48 - Taxi for Momen.
A bit of constructive criticism: Video reviews are not really that much of a highlight considering their duration and could be much more condensed in the highlights.
Coll almost looks unbeatable...
I’m still waiting for Coll to break a sweat……
Any thoughts of what Diego needs in his game to be in the top 3?
More consistency, needs to be stronger/fitter. Seems like he gets gassed easily.
I can't see Coll losing when he's playing at the moment - It must be like playing The Borg from Star Trek - relentless ! Makin looked pissed off which is good because he's still got fire in him but he has the shots and should have really be on the front foot more - he started to move Coll and it unsettled him but it was too little, to late. As a shot maker I think Makin has more in his bag than Coll - but he's got drawn into this battle of fitness and it's just not happening for him. He's a top 4 player but he needs to break up his own rhythm to create something stronger.
Wft. Making has zero shot making ability. Do you even watch squash?
@@Cat5neopro Watch the highlights from Rd 3 Part 2, Makin vs Gawad. Almost half the highlights are Makin showing that he can be a shot maker.
@@bustertornado5433 its depends who you play with. play with Gawad is different !
simply speaking please ! different class ! Coll just play to avoid errors , play nothing special is good enough get him win ! dont you understand ?
@@bustertornado5433 yeah he’s a cross fit star. Couldn’t hit a winner to save his life.
Dessuky is a lion but need to discover it
Was hoping moaning momen would lose.
Tarek Momen, the cry baby as always
