The stroke call given to Lobban at 14:02 was absolutely ridiculous. He hit a loose shot down the middle of the court and was nowhere near Iker's reply.
It's the thing in squash in the past few years, you can push your opponent all the way towards the ball and then ask for a stroke and get it. It's killing the sport IMO.
@@remcovandijk279 That was an excellent shot by Pajares and Lobban was nowhere near the ball as it was veering toward the wall and almost level with the floor. It was a no let as Lobban didn't try to retrieve it when it was retrievable.
Absolutely, the ball hits the side wall in line with both players so there is no way Makin is getting it on the volley. Therefore the correct line would have been to the back of the court and that’s the line that Willstrop left for him.
I have a new found love for commentators.

it's crazy, how can you stand on the T, hit a shot down the left wall while remaining on the T and it's a stroke!?
Terrible call

I was about to comment the same exact thing.

Makin and Willstrop on fire! Fingers crossed for a strong season for Joel
5:28 is the softest stroke I’ve seen in my life
Damn, I'm envious of Omar's hair. My head has looked like Marwan since I was in my 20s.
Love to see Willstrop giving a strong Makin a run for his money
Willstrop got robbed I feel. The calls against him were soft…
I agree 100%. What a joke of a call with the stroke at 12-13.
Ridiculous calls against Willstrop. Also I would like to see even a slight sportsmanship from Makin after matches. He looks so emotionless.
5:28 would only get a let at club level, yes pro players are much faster, but that's just simple interference. The ball was a long way from James.
5:25 these will always go to the "Makin" but they shouldnt
That was just a let ball for me. Very soft decisions against James imo

Mosaad looks like he woke up from a 9 month nap 😂
Those stroke calls..
Bad referees and the 2 commentators are a little too quiet
Is this a legit tournament? Nobody is behaving like a clown….
some really dodgy refereeing calls here
First!
