Farag is the best representative of a sportsman - honourable, graceful in defeat, fiercely competitive, and the right level of aggression. Congrats to Coll for being the Superman!
pfttt, who cares, we need more characters in squash to make a global impact. we need ego, we need an attitude era to bring squash out of this mediocrity. we need to start aiming for a larger viewership and some serious exposure. Nobody needs this honorable non-sense...history remembers the brave and daring. not the ordinary
What a freaking match!!!! Lisa is 10000% right easily the best match I've seen in years, if not ever, period. It reminded me of the WC14 final between Ramy and Elshorbagy. Glad to have Farag back
I'd been feeling squash hadn't had an amazing match in a while, plenty of good ones but no truly amazing ones. Damn, did this one make up for it! Awesome to have Farag back on the tour.
What an incredible match by two of my favorite players on tour! and wow, almost 100 minutes at that level? would love to see this full match as one of those Free matches in the future!
What an incredible match between two of the most honest players on tour. It's great to see this free flowing squash again. As for the no let in the third game, Farag had been in an almost identical situation a few shots before (9:15) and was able to play a very good cross.
Similar, but if you look coll does move across more in the no let situation when that is definitely a let ball due to safety as coll moves right and Ali moves left.
@@fanatamon I had to watch it 4 5 times, and the angle is not the best. I think Farag waited quite a lot on the purpose of getting a stroke, not a let.
@@fabriziopassamonti6375 yeh but he the striker is fully allowed to take as long as they want to play the ball, it simply was good safe practice for Farag to not play the ball and after 25yrs of playing squash at a high level I would have done exactly what farag did for safety.
If there are two classier players on the PSA tour in the men's game, I don't know who they are. A match played with exceptional skill, determination, fitness, mental strength and respect. THIS is the best of sport.
What a match. Coll is playing like 2 years back. But best part if SportsMan ship from Farag. He is gem. Having met him personally in HK. He is so humble and calm.
What a match... What brilliant retrievals... What fantastic sportsmanship by two amazing gladiators of the sport. Great commentary by Joey and Lisa who clearly love the sport. Not sure how much PC will have left for Joel Makin?I LOVE this game😮
Great honest squash as always from Paul and Ali, always a much more pleasant match when both players are honest, play through interference when they can and don’t fish.
Both top class player ! And one of the top class match ever too ! In the match I see clean, top level of quality play, great sportsmanship, and full of respect! It really a showcase of the squash all about! No matter how good you are, without respect and sportsmanship and good conduct on and off court, you are nobody to me
Maybe next time, post this before posting the finals line up!! And what an amazing match ... unreal ralleys ... it should have been a let at the end of game 3 ... farag didnt hit it to be safe ... shame ... what a great set of classy squash players 👍
Looks like Farag is back on his way to number 1, playing at such a high level while still recovering from his injury. This was a fun match to watch, easy to root for both players.
I've just watched to the the end of game 3. Why no let at the end? Did the referee not think Farag would make a return??? Doesn't look good. Great at the end by both players. Good to see Ali and Paul back somewhere near their best. Keep it up!!!
This, I guess is proof why squash is not in the Olympics: Such a great match and not even 50 comments yet. Other sports codes would have hit 1000 by now. A great pity!
Yes I think there are more comments here than those other wonderful olympic sports...curling, ping pong, synchronized dancing (synchronized anything) skateboarding, badminton, bowling, etc.
Well if the ball had hit Coll, all we would be discussing here is why didn't he went for a simple let :) Amway, still a great match and great sportsmanship by both.
Unfortunately the 'no let' that ended the 3rd game was just so silly and from the referees, defies logic on so many levels. What a great match from them. Paul was on song and Ali worked him all over the place, played in good spirit as per always with these two. So good to see.
That NO LET at the end of 3rd set though. Yes, he could have played it, but he didn't see it well so he stopped for safety reason. I don't think he should have been punished for that. He could have played that ball easily.
No stroke fishing , should be a simple safety let. Otherwise doing cross court 5-10x on such situation will probably drill one onto opponent body ior face in the future. Why instigate hostile squash ......
@@hokicoki But can you imagine what classics we could have gotten from Mo-Willstrop, Mo-Farag (debatable since Mo seems injured), Coll-Gawad (and potentially a few more) if it had been best of 5? But no doubt the quality of the semis and finals will be diminished slightly.
The no let at the end of the third game was disappointing. It was further disappointing to see the video ref not seeing the intent behind not playing the shot. If farag had taken a chance and hit the opponent he would have been punished for playing a dangerous shot. Usually it is given a safety let. But every one here played dumb. Cool could have shown some sportsmanship and intervened but he also decided to play along for the prize.
Took a while to get the gillenhall semifinal out, as they probably had to edit out out too many refereeing mistakes. The finished video showed a game played almost without controversy, and so well refereed.

One of the best matches in recent memory! Love that you can tell these two are friends. Just fantastic for the game.

I have never seen a shot like Ali Faraq at 11:31. This is Squash from another planet
Outstanding Squash!!
Sportsmanship - this is the example and the bar that should be set!!
Farag is the perfect exemple of what all sportsman should be...A nice person and a fabulous player.
What a match. Played in such a good spirit. Makes me want to book a court right this minute.

I did the same 😄

Oh my goodness. I couldn't believe this match. Farag and Coll. Such great players. So glad to have em' in the sport.
What a game!!!
Fantastic squash played by two gentlemen at the top of their games.
Wow... It's been a while since I've seen such a great game. I hope both players stay healthy and exercise for a long time.

One of the best match I have seen so far ! Congrats to those incredible warriors
I hope Asal is watching and taking notes :) this is how you keep each other honest with clean squash not by bullying each other hahahaha
why I can't find latest Asal matches highlights in this channel?
@@Ahmed-Hassan86, they pruned it, as it's not so gentlemanly for the event... not a good look for the whole tournament, from both the players
Best match I’ve watched in ages. Brilliant spirits. Both should be commended. Farag is a class act
This so needs to be a free game Friday!!!
wow, what a high level and clean match between these two!
Much love to Farag and Coll! Brilliant match!
Absolute credit to their sport. My two fav players in the game ❤
Super Cole/superman...love these two great players!
Great honest squash as always from Paul and Ali, always a much more pleasant match when both players are honest, play through interference when they can and don’t fish.
Exemplary sportsmanship, Ali Farag!! Well played.
Feel like i need a highlights....of the highlights! brilliant
One word... "superb"!
'superman more like banana-man" this had me rolling on the floor lol
Slipped on his own skin and flew! Hopefully it was not the 4skin
Wow just wow
Unreal!!!!
Thank you everyone involved... the only drawback was that someone has to lose. Never mind... it looked like they both enjoyed it.
Ubelievable! Superhumans !
Congratulations Paul.... Great match....
I love both these guys.
Ali Farag. Classiest player on tour
I wish i was there watching this masterpiece wow
Wow wow wow, amazing sportsmen giving us amazing entertainment. I know not what to say but Thank You!!

Maintenant que j'ai vu ça, je peux mourrir maintenant ! Incroyable ils sont hallucinants !
Absolutely finest art of Squash

And what an amazing match ... unreal ralleys ... it should have been a let at the end of game 3 ... farag didnt hit it to be safe ... shame ... what a great set of classy squash players 👍
He was gassed at the end of that rally and probably had the whole front wall (and room to swing).
Speechless.
Pleasure to watch...such good sports
This is one of the completed forms of squash
Ali such great sportsmanship, you just have to love the guy
Fantastic squash!
Definitely one of the best ever!!!
Simply outstanding athleticism
Extraordinary ❤
batalla de titanes!!! que buen juego para amboss!!!!
Looks like Farag is back on his way to number 1, playing at such a high level while still recovering from his injury. This was a fun match to watch, easy to root for both players.
Unreal! The only thing this match didn’t have was one more game 😊
What a hell for the video editor to choose what an SHOW!
superb !
It's a great match. Can PSA post the highlights of the other semi-final?
Epic 🤙🏻
Great match
I've just watched to the the end of game 3. Why no let at the end? Did the referee not think Farag would make a return??? Doesn't look good.
Great at the end by both players. Good to see Ali and Paul back somewhere near their best. Keep it up!!!
I think the ref decided that Farag had room to play the ball and should have hit it
I'd be tapping out 5min into the 1st set...then head to the spa for recovery. Real athletes these.
Unreal squash
역시 실망시키지 않는 경기력... 굳!!!
best match of the tournoment
Best game ever.
How squash should be played
What. A. Treat!
One for the history books!
forza super coll !!!!!!
great match and farag is the best representative of a sportsman
Why the 1s SF not uploaded?
Where are the highlights of Makin vs. Asal?

Uau ❤
Please can we have the second game on free game Friday?? Wow!!
Well if the ball had hit Coll, all we would be discussing here is why didn't he went for a simple let :) Amway, still a great match and great sportsmanship by both.
A classic
Coll has got to get some new court shoes. Guy is gonna break his legs with how much he slips
We need full match😂
Unfortunately the 'no let' that ended the 3rd game was just so silly and from the referees, defies logic on so many levels. What a great match from them. Paul was on song and Ali worked him all over the place, played in good spirit as per always with these two. So good to see.
What about he Asal Makin highlights? Too much dirt on that?
That NO LET at the end of 3rd set though. Yes, he could have played it, but he didn't see it well so he stopped for safety reason. I don't think he should have been punished for that. He could have played that ball easily.
Sad to see but 100% no let. Coll cleared the way fairly.
9:33 you can see the end of an amazing rally.... for that level an 100% let i think.
Your last sentence sums up why it's a no let.
No stroke fishing , should be a simple safety let. Otherwise doing cross court 5-10x on such situation will probably drill one onto opponent body ior face in the future. Why instigate hostile squash ......
My initial reaction was LET (for safety), then checked slow-mo and yes, Ali had a whole front wall available, so NO LET was correct.
😵
9:35 min. Ali stands behind Coll. No let?!!!!! What a joke!
Can anyone please pin a link of asal vs makin match .
Thank u.
Semis prove that best of 5 is SOOOOOO much better than best of three. Please get rid of that format.
But recent history shows that 5 sets through the tournament mean players arrive injured and /or exhausted at the semis and finals.
@@hokicoki But can you imagine what classics we could have gotten from Mo-Willstrop, Mo-Farag (debatable since Mo seems injured), Coll-Gawad (and potentially a few more) if it had been best of 5?
But no doubt the quality of the semis and finals will be diminished slightly.
The no let at the third could have been easily returned and the ball hitting Paul Coll...where is the safety here?

If farag had taken a chance and hit the opponent he would have been punished for playing a dangerous shot. Usually it is given a safety let. But every one here played dumb.

Still waiting for you guys to appload Mostafa and Joel's match
