Even after continuous foul play by Shorbagy Ramy refuses to parttake in strokefishing and keeps playing the ball even though he could have often gotten strokes: that is called integrity and character. The greatest player of a generation. We miss you Ramy
I don’t fully agree, shorbagy wasn’t really foul playing that much or none at all. I mean it’s a sport and his requests where quite valid to a point
Totally agree with you true gentleman
And that’s why I hate Elshorbagy character he is not a clean player
I'd call him a dodger. He goes to any length to slow down his opponent's rampage. I'm sure Ramy knows that and that's why he keeps his head cool
don't see any continuous foul play here, strange comment.
He’s an utter breath of fresh air who appears to genuinely love playing squash for joy.
13:17 Championship final, game ball, and Ashour concedes the double bounce... when no one else saw it. Everything you need to know about the guy is summed up there.
I still can't see it lol
Watching this on the day Ramy announced retirement. He will be missed.
Ramy's sportsmanship is as good as his skills. truly respectful and consciousness of his opponents, spectators, and all that are present. truly an athlete! thank you for an amazing match.
Ramy is in squash what Federer is in tennis. Complete in every area. Thank you!!
Once upon a time there's was a Pete Sampras a thorough gentleman in tennis before Federer
This is the best squash match I've ever seen. I can't imagine it getting any better. Thanks for the upload!
It was truly amazing. Though less “street smarts” from El Shorbagy would have made it better
Paul Coll could easily beat Ramy
that last game was unbelievable
5 years later and still one of my favorite matches👏🏻🔥🔥
Ashour plays so organically... he is unbeatable when he is in flow !!
a massive thanks for this lads
Man, just watched this again. An all time classic, thank you so much for this SquashTV.
just finished watching... wow
Wins an epic final after a 6 month lay-off. Like Roger v Rafa AO 2017. A match for the ages.
There is absolutely no department where Ramy didn't outdo Shorbagy in this match - he was better with his shots, with his fairplay, with his temper and with the crowd. And he got the win with an injured shoulder. There is a world of difference between these two players. Ashour is missed today.
Amen. A Man. The Man!
Ramy is definitely the better player! Shame injuries ruined his career.
@@carnivalcentral every player almost had the same ending; injury because of overload. I wish we would recognize and stop being animals to them by making their everyday life so hectic throughout the year
Wow absolutely unbelievable. Squash at the Olympics is a must!
FINALLY IT HAS BEEN UPLOADED! Thank you so much! I'll sit back and enjoy the greatest world championship final.
Thank you PSASquashTV!
This is definitely the best match of all time.
Best celebration ever. Ramy you legend
i can't forget the state i was in during the last game !
i slept almost about 6h after this match because of the headache i had!
Ramy is a real Champ ,& Mohamed has a strong performance, we are very proud of them ☺♥
Aya Mohamed two absolutely great players to watch. Totally different styles. The Egyptian squash players have changed the way the sport is being played. All part of its evolution. And a great time for squash in Egypt too
The commentary is as entertaining as the match itself. Great game and video!
It can get much better, great crowd atmosphere made it really exciting.
WOW
There is no better squash match on youtube
WOW
Just a great match; unbelievable squash from both players - Ramy is just an incredible talent and so, so good to watch!
We will miss you Ramy ...
Sggsjh Ryuyyfg hes now a musician
Seeing how El Shorbagy being dominated like that in the fifth game shows why he’s actually so good. His ability to retrieve the ball under the unbelievable amount of pressure Ramy and the audience puts him under is incredible
Still love watching this. The rally at 6-5 in the 5th is exceptional. Pure class. 1:14:37
Thank you PSA SquashTV !
What a gift!
Thank you PSA SquashTV for this amazing gift.....
Thank you very much! Appreciate it :)
Has there ever been a backhand like that? What a work of art.
Incredible match
This game was the legend ... I love two guys...admire them
Thank you for this great game. What a point at 55:18 ! amaaaaaazing .. while they put more pressure, they show their skills too and played the ball with rackets behind their back !! really great players
Thanks for the upload. Quality squash from both players. Confirms how much I don't like elshorbagy though...and that ref!
That exchange in Arabic between the two at 14:58
Ramy: It is just a moment. I didn't have the time.
Shorbagy: Tell him!
Ramy, the greatest squash player I have ever seen. And I've seen a lot.
Thanks this is the one I've been wanting to see cheers
These guys are brilliant, their personalities too! Everything about this match is entertaining!
Amazing !!!! Again and again !
Again amazing
EGYPT 👑🇪🇬 Rules
What a scintillating contest this was. Right up there with the magical Pakistanis Jahangir and Jansher.
+osama jafry And I think they had a bigger age gap between the two
Yes, the best squash match ever, by far.
shame on the olympic committee, has to be an agenda at this stage, skateboarding????????? sport climbing?????????? surfing???????????? they cant think up new admissions quick enough yet disregard this, the king and queen of strength, skill,speed, anticipation and endurance............................
sport climbing is one of the biggest sports in the world. The amount of climbers in the world is crazy. In that sport you need everything, strength, stamina, coordination ja the most important thing is a good/great head. I have to agree with you on the squash though. Its a great sport.
Here is a nice introduction to sport climbing th-cam.com/video/V0uesTSgMys/w-d-xo.html
The olympics are struggling for views I’d say. All of the new additions are to try and appeal to a younger demographic.
Squash will be scheduled in Paris Olympics in 2022...France is working hard with the Olympic committee
Rudy Bayoumy bruh olympics are in 2020 not 2022
the referees are a disgrace. hence
Thanks for making this available to watch!
Match of the century
Best game ive ever seen by a country mile.Wow amazing big mihi to both players.Warriors.
Amazing match!
what a match! massive retrieval skills by Elshorbagy...what a player Ashour
Thank you, squashtv, amazing squash!
of course best match i have seen so far
Greateast squash match ever was Hashim Khan vs Mahmoud Karim
Except for the two decisions that happened very late in the match, the Ref seemed to be ruling in favor of Elshorbagy. Ashour was trying to get to balls, going thru Elshorbagy... whereas Elshorbagy was looking for claims that Ashour was in the way and looking for Lets and Strokes.
favor Elshorbagy ? do you have difficulties to watch the whole match ?
I am in awe.
Coming back to this game during the Asal disgrace era. Wow, back when squash was a gentleman's game
💋♥️👍wonderful olimpical what a sport ! Cheers from Luxembourg 🇱🇺
The best squash match ever. Nobody surpasses Ramy Ashour.
The point at 11-12 down still makes me nervous. How Ramy keptnit together after squandering 6 championship points is beyond me.
Hats off to both players for this masterpiece.
Nice present! Thanks
I agree, best match of all time. Just very very sad with the referee decisions for no let and let and stroke going to Elshorbagy over and over again. Should not have even been a last game, if Elshorbagy would have won it would have been a robbery. I hate how he continues to play the man not the ball over and over again, its quite pathetic.
Even when you know Ashour's gonna win....i am still nervous when Elshorbagy had that 11-12 Match Ball
Thanks for posting something about the finish of a very exciting macth that I am only half was thru!!!!
يا فخر العرب
What a memorable match
whatt aa match .....i wud hv had a heart attack if i didnt knew who had won earlier ....Ramy tha amazing n Shwalby the fighter ...
amazing squash!
2 Great GIANTS, what a match
F1: Senna
Boxing: Ali
Basketball: Jordan
Squash: Ashour
So intense
These days Elshorbagy would not be able to stop the rally since he slid and caused there to be a sweat mark on the floor.
Best mach
It beautifully squash from Ali
Good t, watch 🤙
يا جامد
It’s outrages
OMG you couldnt tell anything about ramys shoulder in the summary video, how did he do it?
Those three crosscourt backhand nicks in the first game by Ashour!
wow at the start he says "I think the crowd is gonna be 50/50" 7-5 in the 5 game i was like you sure about that?
miss jahangir n jahan sher khan
+spilled tear I hear you man
There has to be a HD version of this somewhere?
LOL THE INTRO DISCLAIMER
47:51
why is El Shorbagy angry ?
Ramy placed sweat on the court when he dived, Mohammed wanted the point stopped because its slippery.
11:38 LOL
The white ball, is that special? I am using the 2x yellow-dot black ball.
the white ball is for glass courts like this one
Thnaks :-)
I have tried using the white ball on a regular court, for solo practice. It’s slightly heavier and slower than the black double yellows. You can’t see it well with regular white walls but playing solo, if I can hit that ball fast, the regular ball seems easy. Good way to improve my length and power. THANKS FOR THE SUPERB MATCH; I LOVE ASHOUR.
47:51 Shorbagy just gets educated haha.
Can someone translate the ending?
Not that the rest of the match is not worth watching, but for people who don't have enough time to watch the whole thing, here's the last play: 1:31:31
Poor sportsmanship from Elshorbagy :/
At 1:24:00 how is that a yes let at all!
cause the referees are corrupt as heck
Can anyone translate what ramy said in arabic
He thanks the Egyptian fans and praises the high level of Elshorbagy
When I watched the match carefully, I noticed that the quality of squash was NOT that good in the first 3 sets. Too many unforced errors from both players and short rallies trying to kill the ball. It wasn't attritional in the traditional squash sense. However, midway through the 4th, the rallies became much more attritional. May be its a preference, but I liked better the TOC final between Matthew and Shabana, and the ATCO 2011 World series final between Gaultier and Shabana. The quality of those matches were much more to my taste. Again, just an opinion.
No need to apologize. The squash was error-ridden early. It was a great contest, though, with some great squash in the latter stages.
Elshorbagy is a brilliant player but he is extremely dodgy, not a patch on the ethics of Ashour... Ashour is brilliant in all aspects...
Paul Coll could easily beat Ramy
@@michaelpham6379Coll, at his best, with all his fitness, would not have taken Ashour out. On his best day, with Ramy on his worst, he may have stood a chance. Coll is getting there now, but Ramy Ashour is a class too far I feel
@@kensmith8015 Crouin could easily beat Ramy Ashour
What is a lucky bounce
Who is here after El shorbagy Make a decision to represent England instead of Egypt
480p?
Can anyone explain why is it let in 55:08? thx
So fast.
nds on the glass or wall?
i have no sound... ;( does anyone have a similar problem?
Can somebody explain the decision at 36:28. He has plenty of options to hit the ball, doesn't he?
he should play the ball there, fishing for a stroke, should have been a let
@@Dee-gb5mt I reckon should have been a no let.
ESPN's breakdown of Squash, from an objective standpoint (studying pros, speaking with experts, doing tests, and comparing to other top sports for difficulty).
Squash scored just over 53 out of 100 (points of difficulty), with Boxing in 1st place with 72/100, and Squash in 22nd place, and Tennis in 7th place with 62/100. It's, therefore, far below Tennis overall but is still one of the most difficult sports in the world, requiring certain traits. Squash requires the same amount of hand-eye coordination, according to the results, compared to Tennis, but it also requires slightly more flexility and slightly less agility. Luckily, it's quite easy on the body but does require great mental ability, as it's largely based in the brain, leading me to assume that a fairly high IQ is required to play at high-levels, as well, as studies and tests do indicate that the latter two traits are linked to IQ/intelligence as opposed to athletics/training, and you should note that these findings are based on professional-level play. I have gone over all the sports in fair detail, so I can give some added comments, as well.
The top 10 traits of sports from ESPN's studies: Squash, at the professional-level:
ENDURANCE: 6.13/10 -- high (very high for average humans). Note: Hard to train as this is largely based in heart and lung size, among other fixed, biological factors.
STRENGTH: 3.75/10 -- low (fairly high for average humans).
POWER: 5.00/10 -- fairly low (high for average humans). Note: Hard to train as this is largely based on fast-twitch muscle fibre (certain targeted training and diet will help).
SPEED: 5.50/10 -- high (very high for average humans). Note: Hard to train as this is largely based on fast-twitch muscle fibre (certain targeted training and diet will help).
AGILITY: 7.25/10 -- very high (extremely high for average humans). Note: Hard to train as this is largely based on body type, fast-twitch muscle fibre, and hand-eye coordination.
FLEXIBILITY: 5.88/10 -- high (very high for average humans). Note: Hard to train as an adult.
NERVE: 2.38/10 -- low (fairly low for average humans).
DURABILITY: 2.88/10 -- low (fairly high for average humans).
HAND-EYE COORDINATION: 8.38/10 -- extremely high (extremely high for average humans). Note: Hard to train as this is largely based on IQ and overall biological development.
ANALYTIC APTITUDE: 6.50/10 -- very high (extremely high for average humans). Note: Hard to train as this is largely based on IQ and otherwise brain and personality development.
53.625/100 -- 22nd place, very difficult overall, though there is a large gap between 53/100 and 63/100, for example.
The breakdown you mention provides no numerical data, no criteria against which sports are measured (only arbitrarily decided numbers in categories), and was created based on the opinions of 8 people. You can find more rigorous scientific studies in a 7 year old's scrapbook, where they count the colours of cars going past their house.
Here are the 8 panelists:
. Peter Davis (sport scientist for the IOC, coached volleyball and running)
. Brian Jordan (ex-professional Baseball and American Football player)
. Chris McKendry (ESPN news anchor, went to college on a tennis sponsorship)
. Jim Page (managing director of the US olympic committee, directs the US ski team)
. Janet Starkes (researcher on cognitive aspects of motor skills)
. Bruce Watkins (ex professional tennis player, professor)
. Jim Caple (sports journalist, primarily covers baseball, football and basketball)
. Michael Knisley (senior editor for ESPN, primarily covered baseball, football and boxing)
To nobody's surprise, Baseball, American Football, Tennis, Skiing, Basketball, Ice Hockey and Boxing (the sports with which the panelists are experienced) all appear inside the top 11. The prevailing trend for the rest of the rankings is that they are ranked in order of how well known they are; Gymnastics, Wrestling, Soccer, Rugby, Field Hockey, Cycling, Skating and Volleyball all rank inside the top 20, while Handball, Fencing, Bobsled, Badminton, Nordic Skiing, Rodeo, Water Skiing and Rowing all rank very low. Also note that in the Key explaining what each category is about, all of the examples are from sports which the panelists are experienced in, despite many much better examples existing in other sports.
A natural bias occurs simply because they know a lot about the fitness requirements of their own sports, and can thus justify a high rating for them, but they don't know a lot about less popular sports, and so they can't justify a high rating. Even if the panelists approached the task completely neutrally with no intent of making a sport look better or worse, a bias still emerges against unpopular sports. A good example of this is how Shooting and Archery received ratings of 6.75 and 6.63 respectively in hand eye coordination, while Baseball received a 9.25.
There's also several other occurrences in the list which aptly demonstrate the level of knowledge and respect the panelists hold for a wide range of sports:
. Squash and Racketball are listed as the same sport
. Cricket isn't on the list at all
. Weightlifting is ranked 44th, 25 places behind Figure Skating at 19th
. Rugby receiving a lower rating for Durability than American Football, despite having the same (or more) collisions but without protective equipment
Meanwhile, in every analysis performed with numerical data and factual evidence, Squash consistently ranks highly, usually coming out either in first place or in second to boxing, such as in the rankings released by Forbes.
