      It's his recent improvement on retrievals that sets him apart. That was the one area of the game where he fell behind the likes of Coll etc. Now he's as good as anyone else.

      blocking is ingrained in Asal's game. Even if he wanted to, he can't play clean. I am so glad that I am not on the same court with him. Who coached him when he was a junior? One of these days, he is going to hurt someone really bad. It could be Asal himself.

      Asal instinctively moves into his opponents line but it’s often subtle. But once you see it you can’t unsee it. Even in these highlights Farag turned to the ref a few times looking exasperated. It’s such a shame because Asal may well be the dominant force in a few years but I’ll never be able to be happy for him.

    @tonytan5945 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’m pretty sure most have noticed but Asal usually does not use his blocking tricks on Farag, he has respect for Farag and actually tries to keep his game clean on their encounters. Which is all the more incriminating when he switches it on with other players like Coll, Elias etc. the fact he can switch it on and off implies he CAN and should clean up his game antics more. Delete the ridiculous celebrations and we have a dominant champion which people will actually want to watch.

    • @victorkhong7654
      @victorkhong7654 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This was my impression too. Against Mohammed El Shorbagy, he was as clean as one could expect from Asal. Same for Faraq. But against other players like Hesham, he was certainly blocking and even caught on highspeed camera grabbing Hesham's racquet to slow him slightly on the return of ball. This was facing the front wall and could not be seen by the game referee.

    • @hanakobe2405

      Based on the last few (3 or 4) matches it looks like he's tidying things up a bit, but I agree. You can see at 4:39 when he's under pressure, the cheating will always come out. He's just a dishonest player and person.

For me, watching something in PSA squash may not always be exciting at all times, but very very rarely would I say boring, because I just like watching squash itself. But, these are personal views, I accept that. Another thing however, I enjoy watching Farag because, given he is so good at what he does (most would agree), I’m kind of watching to see what I can learn from him, also.
