Impressive win. Dessouky stayed calm and focused even at three matchballs down, the change in his mental resilience over the past year is quite amazing. Farag as always a class act, much respect to him!
Agreed! Seeing him settle mentally and start to realize his potential is so great.
true! he is a great player, but i suspect(and i hope i am wrong) his crying baby mentality will return
Very little I love more in squash than getting to see some of the talented young hotshots master their emotions enough to pull off a comeback like this. Dessouky used to be a mess.
A calm Dessouky is a very dangerous Dessouky!
so good to see Dessouky finally living up to his massive potential. I hope he's able to display this focus and determination against less clean players than Farag in the future. I'm sure he'll be a strong contender for top 3 or even top dog if he does
I agree, he's able to remain focused and calm now, but with humble and clean players like farag.. But with ultra dirty players like marwan.. That'll be the test to his new mental focus.
This is maybe the most disputed quarterfinals of any tournament ever??, an average time of 80 mins per match, incredible, may the man who can recorver the best will win the trophy
Very few players have the unique combination of power and touch that Dessouky has. To be able to hammer the ball as hard as he can while also feathering the most delicate drop shots is amazing. One of the most talented players I've ever seen and if he can stay strong mentally, could soon be at the top. Has now beaten Farag and Momen 2 tournaments in a row!
Dessouky's mind control, self-possession is brilliant now! And his racket speed is so powerful! His shot is so strong even though with his compact swing...So good to see his level-up T.T But anyway, the stroke decision at the fourth set... I cannot believe it... It is so tough for Farag. I hoped that Dessouky win this match, but not in this way T.T
Wow, incredible game from Dessouky. This was one of the awesomest comeback i have seen.
But i would like to appreciate that Farag's accept the loss really calm. That is what squash is about. Asal should learn from him!!!
A shocker of a decision at the end of the 4th set there.........how the referee ever gave that as a stroke is beyond me.......ludicrous. Fares won the match in the end however....well done to him.
Yep, surprised it is not discussed a bit more. It seemed like a won match for Farag at this point.
No disrespect to Dessouky, but I felt that he 'created his own interference' here by crowding Farag, and then running into Farag whilst Farag was still the striker (i.e. before the ball had come off the front wall)--and it didn't appear to be a winning shot situation. For me, that was a let at the most
Unfortunate that it happened at such a critical point in the match
@@petereedy6092 I agree.
I watched most of all 4 quarter finals live - has to be one of hardest contested set of matches in squash history. Even in the one that didn't go to 5 games, Salem could have extended it with more discipline. As for Dessouky he really does seem to have got his temperament under control and just plays great squash when he plays his natural (and outstanding) game.
Quarterfinals are the best round of a tournament. A good number of well balanced matches. All 4 went to 5 games and were generally very entertaining. Awesome stuff.
war of the titans
i love it when players share the same space for hours, pat each other on the back and also hug... but draw the line at 'shaking hands' . extremely logical of the officials :P
It's so they can pretend they're respecting covid protocols even though it's aerosols and not touch that matters.
Fantastic turnaround, great hits and pickups... everything.
To be continued!!
What a performance by Dessouky. Amazing
What an amazing match and turn back! Farag is a true gentleman and champ. I am happy for Dessouki that he won by maintaining his mental strength.
Dessouki played very well towards the end there.. the big mistake he was making in the middle two games was hitting poor drop shots which hit the sidewall too early. Farags quick counters were often too much for him, and Dessouki consequently hit a tin. When he started to add pace and hit dying cross-courts the match completely shifted. Very well played!
I thought the same thing, he was feeding Farag counter drops in the first 2
Amazing...never stop, always figth 💪💣
Amazing.... He did it again.... Congratulations
What a talented player one of the best players i have ever seen he seems to be a complete player which is very rare in this sport👏👏👏. This duet is very exhausting 👌❤️❤️
Amazing match!
What an incredible performance. Well done
WOW just WOW. great match
I love to see power shots in squash
This game gave me plenty of them to watch
FD an amazing talent and a sensational win over AF !!
I have waited all day, only to comment this: Farres Dessouky is the Victor Drago of Squash.
You need to produce this kind of sublime squash to beat Farag...Bravo Dessouki..big fan of you
Buggar...two of my favorites out.... but still all fabulous games.
WHAT A EXCITING NIGHT!!!
I'm so buzzed for Dezzy. ..not easy to defend your title esp against the sublime squash of Farag. I'm surprised the squash ball stands up to the battering he gives it...what a come back as well...brilliant match. Super smashing great..!
رجاله بلدي ❤️❤️🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬💪
Dessousky- the new king of squash. Such an interesting competitor!
FDs forehand is the best in the world. Just amazingly short, powerfull, technical and of course unreadable. Nice cb and win
he's a great warrior ! (they are!)
nice to actually hear a crowd
What shots are they playing??? Unbelievable skill!!
Dessouky is the only player who's super aggressive style of play seems to overwhelm Farag's patient, all absorbing game of constant retrievals and continuous pressuring and probing of the opponent. Before, his mentality was also a bit weak but he seems to have found new confidence.
Dessouky's power and precision under pressure is something else. Has to be to beat the incredible Ali Farag!
PSA SQUASHTV - why do you have a habbit of not replaying the final point of the game?! That Dessouky smash was wonderful
😨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How to select the highlights of a Farag's game?
Either he claps or he makes that little fist bump.
It does make our logging a lot easier 😂
Fares or Marwan deserves the title imo. Both are playing at better quality than rest.
yes, but makin? cmon he is playing joke squash!! everyone can win... even momen of course he is top quality too...
@@superbdestinations9293 true, they all are incredible atheletes. To me both show just some extra compared to the rest, especially this tournament.
Brilliant quarter finals! What can you do when dessouky is hitting it like that? The forehand kill in the first game was so good.
Looked like a quality game but that was never a stroke on match ball for Farag. Dessouky took the line towards the player when there was a perfectly good line to the ball. Problem is that it encourages that kind of behaviour. We see it time and again when players just run to the opponents back with their racket up.
It popped up and out just enough and is super quick too it.......just. !
Honestly I think the stroke was the correct decision. Farag purposely took an exaggerated amount of space to block Dessouky. He then made zero effort to clear. The shot was definitely not an outright winner and Dessouky would have been able to return had Farag cleared from the his path.
@@Syko12341 Disagree. If you watch it back and focus on Farag's movement after he strikes the ball, he is instantly moving his weight back towards the T, but collides with Dessouky because Dessouky has basically jumped on his back. He doesn't have a change to get out of the way. Even if he did, there's more than enough space to Farag's right and there would have been even more had Farag's movement back to the T not been blocked.
great game, Dessouky is such a clean striker of the ball, but Massarella strikes again with that crap call at the end of the 4th game that may have affected the outcome of the match.
WOW。
Dessouky is a monster.
Wow
Dessouky the future world no.1 contender along with Asal
Go super Dessouky !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well done Dessouky.
best player in the world right now? let's see if he wins the next two
5:05 Is this stroke?
Credit to Dessouky but Farag left it behind him at the end of the fourth. Should have been a little more forceful.
Who is this guy playing against Farag and what did he do to Dessouky?
Jokes aside Dessouky is a weapon when he keeps it cool, he'll gain a lot of fans acting like he did today.
At 6:26 that cross court (almost) nick didn’t actually hit the front wall. Great game though.
Cracking match, kinda think Farag was robbed by a key decision at the end of the 4th!!
Farag was robbed there. Never a stroke
Yes Let would have been a more balanced decision. imho.
Which? On Game 5 match ball? That’s a stroke all day.
@@fleurafricaine5740 I think they are referring to 10-9 in the fourth, where Farag had match ball and Dessouky got the stroke [around 5:00]
I agree that it should have been a let at the most
@@petereedy6092 Yes, I see. Thank you for clarifying.
4th game was dominayed by Dessouky.
😛
This was the Final
As much as I admire Fares Dessouky's great play here, I remain concerned that players are often being awarded strokes when they have crowded the striker and then run into that player whilst that player is still the 'striker' (i.e. their ball is yet to hit the front wall). In this case, at Ali Farag's match ball in the fourth game, Dessouky is already all over Farag before Farag's ball is hitting the front wall -- leaving Farag no opportunity to clear. As well as this, it didn't appear to be a 'winning shot' situation for Dessouky (see this just after 5:00)
I acknowledge that it's easy to be an 'armchair referee', but felt that should have been a let at the most (or even no let, with Dessouky having 'created his own interference'?)
Having said all that, it was a wonderful effort by Dessoouky, particularly against a player of Farag's calibre. It's good to see that Dessouky appears to have 'conquered his demons' (I still recall from a couple of years ago him walking off before a match was complete after disagreeing with some refereeing decisions)
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. Was it the first win over Faraq in a big PSA tournament?
Stroke against Farag @ 5:10 is plain wrong. There's been too many at this tournament where the ball has been played tight to the wall and a stroke has been given against the one who played the shot despite the opponent taking the wrong line or being nowhere near playing the ball, as here with Dessouky (holding his throat). Sort it out!!
Strong decision on match ball..
What a comeback against the world No1. 67 minutes match time at this level? I'd rather run the marathon twice. :-)
reminds me of a jansher-jahangir match
Poor call allows a loser to become a winner.
