Great camera angle...love the banter between the players and the relaxed refereeing..pure entertainment from two legends of the sport...more please..and no silly conduct warnings
WOW! That was amazing squash. Both Gaultier and Mathew were at the top of their game at matchball, inch perfect. And you can feel the intensity of the match a mile away.
I know that it looks like Nick's complaining alot, but y'gotta remember that these guys do this for a living. This is their livelihood and this is how they put food on the dinner table. From what i've seen so far Nick's actually not that bad on court attitude-wise, just that this match he seems a little pissy..
Its rare you find a gentleman on the court. As a U17 squash player it's not very often I find someone who won;t complain about the point. I love squash but a lot of the people who play it are spoiled.
Krittapat Pranich Constantly complaining about the referee's decisions and whining whenever they don't go your way is actually more like being a bad loser.
Nah, it was purely down to safety. Gaultier slipped and was in the general flight path the ball would have taken. Mathew was there and ready to play the ball but held back because of the slip. Let ball.
Greg is a truly awesome talent. I do not like Matthew at all. If he would just shut the fuck up and knuckle down he would already be a better player. So stroppy..it's pathetic!
Agreed. Never was a good reason for Nick to open the door and dispute a ball the ref had already called good. "I swear on everything I own" is just drama for dram's sake and any player knows the ref will not change his mind so this deserved a CW or CS for timewasting.
I'm glad matthew lost that game. His sportsmanship is wanting. He obviously uses any advantage possible and that includes mind games on gaultier and the umpire, intending to upset gaultier and pressuring the referee on calls. Sure its within the rules but boy does he need a lesson in honour and respect. If he were on a sinking ship, I'm sure he'd be the last one anyone would want to save if they had a choice.
Some great squash but they both behave like a couple of surly teenagers which is a bit unnecessary. Mind you I have watched some of Jansher's matches recently on youtube and he was a man that didn't mind taking an unnecessary let.
The shot at 17.05 was most certainly not a let. Matthews just didn't like the position he was in and as he had already been a little bitch this game, as in most games, the referee gave him the benefit of the doubt. Gaultier was nowhere near him.
Yeah, if this is going to be an Olympic sport, I think the "Britishness" of this game needs to be toned down a bit; the arguing with the ref, the walking around the court, the delays of play, the wiping... Does not make for good Olympic television viewing
it sucks when players "argue" every single call, especially in squash, where momentum is so important. Just ruins flow. I agree. Matthew is a bit of an ass.
I agree with Timbo. Great vid quality but poor refereeing and sportsmanship on behalf of the players made the game very unwatchable. I am a keen player and watcher but can't stand this kind of sportsmanship at any level.
Wow, brilliant camera angle and clarity. Squash TV should do it like this. Thanks for posting!

Gaultier is like a machine, amazing squash from both players. Thanks for posting
This is the best squash footage i have ever seen on utube. thank u for the upload
I have not seen 2013 footage of such clarity on official PSA channel
Matthew: "I swear on everything I've got the ball was down".
Quite a statement given it was a blatant winner from Gaultier!

You make a good point, but at the same time have some respect for your pride, and some respect for your opponent's judgement AND the ref's judgement
3:46 stroke to Greg. Nick shames himself by even attempting to complain. Ridiculous. 5:00 minutes in it gets worse.
Best ever heated match....,,,both players showed awwsomeeee play.....nick got tired to loose the match in the end
great camera mate!!
Thanks for the vid by the way!
Is referee from UK? 2 lets minimum given to babyboy Matthew...
Gaultier's cross-court width was phenomenal in this match.
Too many let given to Matthew. Then could the refs uses the video ? For finals, this should be considered. Smart sport use it.
💯
i'd love to see these guys play with each other at the gym no refs or audience. something entertaining would happen.
05:00 "It was my best shot of the week" :D :D :D :D
2:30... Gaultiers reaction is the same as mine in that situation!
Great angle
love Mathews movement
You maid Italia congrat..justice
I think Matthews should do more backhand's drop shots.
Its rare you find a gentleman on the court. As a U17 squash player it's not very often I find someone who won;t complain about the point. I love squash but a lot of the people who play it are spoiled.
An awful lot of gamesmanship here, hope this isn't the norm for top level squash?
It's call being a winner.

Winner my ass, ai Krit.

whining all the times likes them does not deserve our sport.
Nor does it deserves them to become a legend.
Matthew finally got a new shirt.
We all respect their talents but I still think a more strict refereeing is required in squash

7:50 - 8:30 just epic! :D

Love how Gaultier plays, Rami and Nick always complain in the court and asking for lets & strokes too often. James is a gentelman in the court.
No let at 14h13.
Mattews made a so bad shot just before the let and he 's out of defense
especially too many lets kindly given to Mattews !
Nick Matthews probably wouldn't win too may "fair play" awards. A right royal whinger.
Hey what’s up it’s me
Gregs shot was down Matthew should of got it
Nick Mathew's such a baby. Must be an ex-soccer player.
Nick Matthew is pretty annoying, even by Squash standards. Greg is kinda joking/friendly just to mess with you. Nick just comes across as a baby.
is objecting on EVERY point obligatory!!
Mathews used a lot of gamesmanship in his career. Gaultier was a far better player
Some great squash but they both behave like a couple of surly teenagers which is a bit unnecessary. Mind you I have watched some of Jansher's matches recently on youtube and he was a man that didn't mind taking an unnecessary let.
two strait volley nicks off greg,
I swear by all it was down...
Hey if Matthew's wonders why squash isn't in the Olympics he should look in the mirror. Is he trying to be the new Jonathon Powers?
Matthew-squash=Alonso-F1
Exactly! He reminds me of Andy Murray. Annoying little man
Mathew didnt whine like that when he was younger
The ref had a bit of a horror story with some of the calls in this one........very inconsistent.
This Nick Matthew's is such a bad sport!
Gaultier has the French excuse, also :-P
The shot at 17.05 was most certainly not a let. Matthews just didn't like the position he was in and as he had already been a little bitch this game, as in most games, the referee gave him the benefit of the doubt. Gaultier was nowhere near him.
matthew is a cocky whinner
I bet nicks parents are proud of him becoming the biggest cry baby ever

5 min gets worst
Too many lets.

football*
Poor reffing at best.
Why Gaultier taking 10 years between each shot. Cheat.
I agree with Timbo. Great vid quality but poor refereeing and sportsmanship on behalf of the players made the game very unwatchable. I am a keen player and watcher but can't stand this kind of sportsmanship at any level.
Love Gaultier. Hate Matthew.
Nick Matthew=Whiny plonker
All gaultier does is complain
