- 3rd and last game of the John White vs Ali Farag squash match during the qualifying rounds of the 2015 Delaware Investments U.S. Open Squash Championships at Drexel University. I only recorded the 3rd game.
ps: I guess this video was too much for my phone, since after a while the video and audio get out of sync... sorry about that. - Спорт
Watching this video intensified my desire to play squash again tenfold... Can't wait until the doors open again.
For someone who is a (relatively) old player and long retired from the circuit, John White put up a great show against the outrageously talented Ali Farag -- and credit to Ali, he didn't let John's (good natured) gamesmanship interfere with his game. Very entertaining Squash!
What a man. How old is he? He retired so long ago and he's still making top players work hard
Thank you for posting this video
John "the Great" White is legend. I met him in Atlanta, Georgia many years ago and had him sign a magazine. Kind, respectful, wonderful person. He did a demo at the tournament...hit a squash ball that was still in a box, and it hit all corners of the court without touching the ground. It happened in seconds. I think his record time was 150mph? (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Absolutely astonishing the power of this man. Squash is such a great game. I wish I lived on the East Coast where it is respected and accessible. Our only squash court here was turned into a wine tasting room. Can't say I mind that either, but I'd rather play squash.
I love John White! Hes such a funny fella!
Ali Farag has been a class act from the word go.
Watch out for Ali we can see the potential of another World no1
+Ray Tahana Funnily enough, a pretty good squash player friend of mine told me just a few days ago that this match could be "the former number 1 against the future number 1"!
Good call ur friend made, Ali&Fares remind me of young Ramy&Muhammed
@@RayTahana you predicted it :)
Dániel Simon; Cheer bro I got te king of revelation “Cj” in me he wows me wth unthinkably confident perspective so he can reveal himself to us all tht goodness is greater than evil
@@RayTahana It's happened! Good prediction!
love this video. great crowd!
Meraviglioso White!
John white is the big show of squash
I love John Wise. #BigJohn
Lovely! Too bad, sound is out of sync....
i remember watching squash matches in 1997/98 u could hardly see the ball😂
Gee, Mr White looking more tired than usual. But still up there.
Just the U.S. Open at his home court afaik.
White hits that ball at some pace
lol, this is like an exhibition, why was he playing?
+James MBewu Drexel, where John White is the coach, hence "Drexel" being written on the court and the kids in the background saying "go coach".
+Sportel Exactly, John White is the coach of the varsity squash team at Drexel University (Philadelphia). The US Squash Open was hosted at Drexel, and John white decided to participate. So, this was a qualifying match. White played (and won) the first qualifying match against Adrian Grant (a titanic effort!), and then lost the second qualifying match against Ali Farag.
Johnny is right about that beginning "stroke". You still have to be ready to play the ball.. If the ref was any good he would've called a let or no let.
How did John White ever qualify for the US Open when he plays like this. He may have been good in his day but is embarrassing to watch him play now.
Yeh... Ali made him play Desco in the court 😂
He relied on power over accuracy during his career so his style of squash doesn’t suit him now that he’s older and a bit less physical. His conduct during the match was more embarrassing imo
for a 42 year old he plays fine. Are there some over 40 year olds that play better, any?
White never won the big events
