It cannot be overestimated what a challenge it is to go from playing "dirty" to "clean", as Asal has done, especially at such a young age - and not to return to your old habits when things aren't going your way. Keep it up, the good results will come. Chapeau! As to Farag: what an amazing ambassador to our sport he is!
The finishing shot of the 7:17 rally isn't the flashiest thing I've ever seen, but man it's one of the nicest winners I've ever seen. So much skill to be fully front on to the wall, under pressure, lunging on in, and STILL straighten the ball.
It's amazing Asal has lasted in as many long matches as he has given his heavy physique and intense movements. Whereas Farag floats like a butterfly, partly his build and partly just skill. Asal covers the court amazingly well for being built like a tank but to have a long career he'll need more economy of movement.
You don't get to become a top-5 squash player without being incredibly efficient in your movements. I don't think there's anything Asal can do to become more economical without sacrificing court coverage. I do agree though, Asal's size and strength is incredible but you can't help think of how much stress his legs are carrying because of that very size and strength. I think he'd rather have a shorter and stellar career than a longer and mediocre one though!
Farag is such cool headed not displaying any over zeal when he wins and is smiling congratulating his opponent when he loses a true sportsman would do exactly that. Fantastic play but both
Fantastic to watch Farag grind him down. Asal has been such a toxic, incredibly bad character and repeat offender and cheat I can never forgive him no matter how talented and electric ⚡️ his squash gets. Walla Farag.
Asal has definitely cleaned up his game for some months now and he's a joy to watch. I feel like Ali had to raise his game a level in order to beat him, and he even talked about the improved Asal in his trophy interview
Ali Farag is like the elegance of a 10th generation royalty in his Rolls Royce while Asal is a classless new rich kid on the block who is in his ugly overpowered truck. (Looks like Asal has improved his behaviour a bit…but still).

What a great comment by Farag to recognize Asal's maturing play. Such a wonderful ambassador for the sport, above and beyond his incredible play 👍👍
The athleticism, the power, the artistry! Both players, wow 👏💪🏆
Love to see the intense rallies and good sportsmanship from the players, kudos to both of them 💪

Asal again grabbed Faraqs shirt and racquet on match point. He will never be able to win a tournament without cheating.
Farag is way too good..
Love to see two great players with different styles both playing maturely. Love this.
Great match. Farag is such a strong player. Good to see that Asal is maturing and focus on playing squash instead of being a spoiled brat.
Farag is a machine!

really thank you Farag
Mr bendy Ali played great, well done both men. That no let at the end of the 2nd game..........ooh err, bad news.
Yella FARAG!!!
👍👍👍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💐
الله عليك يا فرج ❤
love to see that asal has calmed down and worked on his behavior. Farag was just too good today, hopefully Asal can go on a rampage again!
Asal got Faraged
That line up to 10:5…wow
Farag is such cool headed not displaying any over zeal when he wins and is smiling congratulating his opponent when he loses a true sportsman would do exactly that. Fantastic play but both
Good to see Asal is no longer blocking or cheating.... long may it continue!!!!
Excellent game
Nice to stop hearing the annoying kids in the back as the highlights showed Farag winning points later on 😎
Was like nails on a chalkboard every time they shouted 😖
Asal appeared a bit meak from the get go whereas Farag looked spry. Farag's fast and quality retreiving is second to none of course ❤.
Nice hit.
Farag just keeps you on the back foot. Takes the ball so early
farag is elite. asal will probably get to farag's level in the next few years
Elite mind that's the only difference
Asal doesnt have a mindset of 'Comeback' see his last shot of the match as well as the third games last point. He just gives up mentally.
Good to see farag faragging.
Go Ali!
Immoveable object beats unstoppable force
'Jansher'esque indeed there 👍🏼
A bit Raminess
@@fern6114 nope, that shot was very Jansher'esque - almost a signature style execution there 👍🏼
no let?? am not shaking hands
A bit Raminess for Ashour
brutal!! a lesser player would have crumbled

The world is a cruel cruel place. Some things are simply unforgivable. Among them.. unfair play in a sport, apparently lol
Love to see Ali win so definitively. Asap is a fantastic athlete and player, but the pushing…….hard to like him.
Asal has to loose 15 pounds before he become frag

I refuse to watch Asal marches… please stop posting them.
