Wow. crouin played amazing but elias was definitely off. My guess: pressure of being #1 would take a while to settle in. Lets hope he forgets his ranking and just plays his game vs coll
He's also being pestered by a speedy Gonzales with great cardio on the way up. Elias for world level could have better raw speed and cardio. But I'm definitely not criticizing the world #1. He's very talented.
@@dslechip i think his court coverage is deceptively fast. Almost casual. Reminds me of Jansher - sort of effortless but he is everywhere. On cardio, not too sure. Have we seen him lose the 5th due to gassing out?
@@muneebi8273 if seen him go deep in tournaments and struggling in semis and finals. More his long term tournament cardio than just one match. I'm looking hard to pick a weakness. He doesn't have many. He is very smooth that adds to his deceptive speed
One of the worst ref decisions I have ever seen at 9 all in the second game ….. luckily overturned but can you imagine if there were no challenges remaining 😫
Andrea Santamaria marking is absolutely SHOCKING!!! how can she call no let when EVERYONE including the commentators call a stroke and that gets overturned !!
It looked like the ball may be behind crouin. Like he was fishing for a stroke. On the world level that's a weak call but I do understand it due to her position. The ref takes into account the players history and speed in making these decisions
@8:01 the refs need to begin punishing players for this. Crouin had multiple chances to make a shot safely and was trying to force a stroke by backing the play up. In this case, crouin should have been given a "no let" and told to play the ball. The forced strokes ruin the flow of a game when players are looking for them.
@@chainsawhaircut4524 good squash movement is stepping into the ball and playing it. He's intentionally holding backwards and hoping for a stroke. Crouin could have stepped into that shot at least 2 or three times prior to getting a let ball
You are not correct. There is NOTHING in the rules that says you MUST step into the ball and play it if you have the chance. On the contrary, the rules explicitly guarantee your right to play the ball whenever YOU choose, as long as it has not bounced twice. That means you can step back and play it as late as you want, and if your opponent is in the way, it's either a let or a stroke depending on the circumstances. Rules 101.
In this highlights video I saw him call two reviews; on the first, he was absolutely correct and it got overturned, and on the second he had a legitimate reason to think his ball did not bounce twice. Which of these were no-issue for you?

Love your content guys, keep up the good work. Quick question, why can't you upload all highlights to TH-cam ( same way as before) ?
@@juancarlosroldan7124 This way it brings more people to their website. Could bring them more people subscribing to them.
What a beautiful match
That's a match for the ages, what a battle, Well done Diego with Victor on the march to the top 5, great squash.
I enjoy highlights but would prefer to see the whole of each highlighted points.
Vamos Elias por el campeonato, ya eres el Número 1

Amazing comeback from Elias. But he had no answer to Crouin in the first 2 games. Exciting game
Very good victor performance.... Congratulations to Diego
Elias !! Super match. Wonderful play from Crouin also !
Elías el número 1
Sigue así campeón
siempre es espectáculo el squash de Elias...
Great Match!
que buena remontada!!!!

Sweet as great game and good sports to.
Great match

In all fairness there are certain times when it's hard to judge the position of the player and ball from behind (easier from the side or above).
it’s not always as clear when u are at the back marking and under pressure at the same time

Coll favourite against Elias for sure, pressure getting to him
Wooow!
nice match
Can’t play like that against Coll Elias
I can see Victor Crouin got Harvard's logo on his T-shirt..is he studying at the moment in Harvard?
Yes he is
@@TheProgaddict cheers
@@TheProgaddict I thought he graduated last year?
reverse sweep 😂😂😂
Congratulations to the Peruvian Puma👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
CUANTO PAGABA LA REMONTADA :V

I disagree. He's quite clearly in his swing and its super loose. Yes let seems fair.

@@B1J0D It's only good squash movement to step into the ball when you have space to do so, he was backing up first to create that space.
@@watching99134 your comment literally contradicts itself. If he's stepping forward the space behind isn't needed?

Glad to see an arrogant guy lose
Crouin is so unlikeable
Crouin’s many desperate reviews on no-issue calls.

@@cscoetzee You need to see the entire match.
@@us-Bahn Fair enough. I can only comment on this video here.
@@cscoetzee Crouin did play well. Some say Elias was off form. I don’t know.
@@us-Bahn yeah u can see Elias's accuracy on his short game was terrible here. only thing decent were the volley drops.
Close ^^
