That accuracy on the back hand side was.... Well quite accurate. Gives you an idea of what professional squash is. And that iconic finishing by gawad was unbelievable. Great game.
I love seeing the sport I cherish getting such coverage as this. If all the people here only watch squash, give it a try for real, such good fun and great cardio work!
Poor video ref decision at 7-7. As much as Shorbagy tends to block, it wasn’t excessive in this situation and Gawad likely would not have retrieved the ball. Let safe call but better call is no let.
It is so rare to see judges that can accurately gauge great players. Most judges don't begin to understand the level of these players and so never make stroke decisions like they should. We need to pay attention to the judges so we can be sure to vote them in to future tournaments. Who were the judges of this game?
...i thought it was, and what’s more if it had been me i’d have got up and smacked him one. Shorbaggy stepped back into gawad‘s line and tripped him in a very dangerous position.it was bordering on criminal.
@@oliverharvey7561 Ugh. He's clearing the ball, doesn't take any direct movement into Gawad's line, as Gawad runs into Elshorbagy from his angle of entry onto the ball. The tightness of the ball and the fact it was about to double bounce would allow for either a no let or a yes let. If you smacked anyone in that situation you'd only be making a massive arse of yourself.
@@TehMeh64937 I don't think anyone *deserves* an unfair decision. I'm sure he's friendly with them when he's off the court, as with many other players famous for getting a little rowdy with referees.
V The point is not that he should receive unfair decisions, the point is his on court behaviour towards referees will make them not respect his views as well as his opponents, even if they are told to try to stay unbiased as possible it’s very hard to prevent subconscious bias when a player isn’t being respectful towards you
@@user-br3fr9fd5i I think it's a matter of Elshorbagy doing it so often that it becomes obvious. The Elshorbagy Brothers are without a doubt two of the most streetwise (to put it kindly) players on world tour.
Actually the backhand is a more natural stroke play. You are hitting with your body, especially if you lead with your right leg (for a right handed player). For a forehand shot (right handed player) the shot goes across your body. Backhand shots are more accurate. Some of us are more powerful on our backhand too.
12:14 Gawad fell just short despite the collision. No let is out of the question here. Not sure about the stroke though. Should have been a yes let. 14:50 Gawad was nowhere near Shorbagy here. The shot should have been taken. Shorbagy played a dirty trick here just to get a stroke. No respect for him.
The one at 14:50 wasn't technically even a stroke. The ball hit Gawad. You can't complain about a decision when the ball hit him. Elshorbagy hadn't asked for a let at that point.
Luckily the commentators weren't doing the refing........good that it was a stroke at 11.46........shorbagy was in the way.......beligerent stuff by him unfortnately.
Shorbagy still fishing in the middle. (on 7-9) Why are the refs still giving strokes for that? Abolutely no intention to play the ball whatsoever!!! I thought we were past this kind of play but he still keeps getting rewarded...
In view of his current hirsute countenance, PSA Squash TV commentators really ought to change Gawad's moniker - babies don't tend to have much in the way of facial hair. Beardy-face Assassin would be much better.
That last winning shot by gawad from back of court was ultra gutsy

Cc c
The irony of using a white ball in the Black Ball Squash Open
😂😂😂😂
Hahaaaaa asks for video review, gets a stroke against him, poor Shorbagy.
FUNNIEST THING EVER 😂😂😂
Gawad looks fitter than he has been in a while. Played really well.
I love seeing the sport I cherish getting such coverage as this. If all the people here only watch squash, give it a try for real, such good fun and great cardio work!
I can't believe that stroke decision at 7 all..that was not a stroke no way!
Wow! Some serious quality length hitting and that lost shot, wooooo!!!
It is good to see Gawad back. Very few players can challenge Shorbagy , Gawad in prime is better than all of them!
1:18 that crosscourt though...
How is Elshorbaghy so consistent and fit? Maybe a day in life.. where he reveals his secrets.
That last shot from gawad, wow. Long drop from the back feathered in.
Poor video ref decision at 7-7. As much as Shorbagy tends to block, it wasn’t excessive in this situation and Gawad likely would not have retrieved the ball. Let safe call but better call is no let.
beautiful last drop shot
welcome back Gawad!!

Squash game of the year
If they are fit, Gawad and ashore, are the best players in the world.
Thanks SquashTV!! 💪🏾

letskickyouhard Think he deserves decisions like that every now and then based on how he treats referees

What a game. Amazing
14:50 Fisherman Shorbagy is back...
I like how when any other player does this no one bats an eye but when Elshorbagy does it he's an evil villain.

Agree is shouldn't have been a stroke against Mohamed. I love watching Karim though; inspirational shot maker!! Natural successor to Ramy?
Were they playing the 007 theme during that first player review? 🤔
Well you guys really know how to name videos
why white balls at the 'black ball open' though?
Alric8 black ball is the name of the club
At 15:53 Gawad asked for a let ...
I am wondering why the referee call it No Let ..!!!
facts, should have reviewed and see what his coach thinks
Almighty Egyptians. Greetings from Serbia
@PSA can we have a mega rally at 5-3??
Gawad at his best was unplayable
No, a let at 12.49 not a stroke......no way.
Who won the match?
Gawad won the match.
Dammmmmmm 👌
One of Gawads better games
Why didn't they use a black ball for the black ball open?
The tournament is named after the Black Ball Sporting Club where it's held, confusing title I know!
When is the final match of 2018???
it was between gawad vs ali farag.
Baby-saced relaxin
So who won the match ?
Gawad won the match
Why do they always rally on their backhand rather than the forehand?
Usually the backhand is the weaker side so they rally on that side to see if they can manage to slip their opponent up.
Thats what i was thinking. Thanks!!!
The backhand is more consistent/reliable but the forehand side is where you shoot from (backhand requires a torso twist).
Actually the backhand is a more natural stroke play. You are hitting with your body, especially if you lead with your right leg (for a right handed player). For a forehand shot (right handed player) the shot goes across your body. Backhand shots are more accurate. Some of us are more powerful on our backhand too.

A player can play the ball whenever he wants. Yes you can call that fishing but it's all within his rights to do so.
Exactly. Shorbagy does a lot of fishing. Everybody just shuts up knowing the dark games Shorbagy plays. It's the cost of doing business with him...
5:3
At 7 all, that is not a stroke. It's interference in getting to the ball. Let ball. How is this a stroke

What I can say is we all can see what's the level of WSF referees nowsaday! Destroy the match!

They are playing with a white ball waffle!,,
This sport is stupid it’s not even a sport
