In comparison to other top squash players like paul and ali and shorbagys i think diego gets tired a little bit sooner than the others . If he get phisically stronger then we will witness another #1 in the world
When the ref said after his reveiw was shot down that "It doesn't matter how tight the shot is" ?? that is a very limited application of the proper rules, Elias had 2 winners from that same shot on the same side in that game That would have been frustrating!
I think the ref was just trying to shut down Elias's attempts at arguing. It certainly does matter how good the shot is, as I have seen virtually every ref (including this one) deny a stroke when the shot was a total winner (even if they blocked the other player). In this case, it was tight but getable (imo).
I find it insane that in a professional sport, the athletes have to do maintenance on the court (mopping). Could you imagine top-level tennis without ball-boys, or ice hockey players driving a zamboni to clean the ice? Insane.
Elias' gamesmanship here bordered in cheating. Squash is meant to be continuous play as far is as practical and he did everything he could to delay the game. I would have been happy to see John Mazzarella award a stroke against him in line with rule 7.6 (7.6 The Referee, on deciding that a player has delayed play unreasonably, shall apply Rule 17.).
typical wadi degla racists. massive long rally, the egyptian didn't win the rally so don't clap. same every year. great ambassadors for the sport so they are...
I don't think you can say it's racist. It's just the Egyptian crowds are more like football crowds than your average squash crowd. They can be very stingy in appreciating the non-home player, whereas in other countries, if one player is a home player and the other from a different country, they'll clearly be supporting the home player but will clap respectfully for the away player too. Egyptian crowds can sometimes not clap at all when the away player deserves it.
@@mujadidbutt6137 you might not like what he’s saying, but he’s not wrong. They’re dreadful sportsmen in Egypt. The crowds in Europe, Hong Kong, US, etc., are so much better.
@@baseballgenius3 ok in squash or ... but I’ve been to to the states for a hockey game ... not obvious sportsman there. How about boo the other teams national anthem?
sure looked like Farag charged into Elias' back repeatedly near the end of game 1, and he was rewarded with a stroke repeatedly. Not great refereeing, in my opinion. There was a clear path to the ball, and he chose to charge into his opponent's back instead.
Elias VS Farag-Ref. Unbelievable in 2020 we are still being witnesses of such behavior by refs. That is another reason for squash not to be in olympics yet.
That 13-12 rally was OBSCENE. Just an unbelievable level of determination from both young men.
You have crickets in your studio lol. Missed half a game searching for it in my room. Just had to pause the video and its gone 🤣
Hahahaha
I could just play it and go to sleep and when I wake up next morning, these 2 will still be going on with their rallies.
wow your sleep schedule is bad
Now Diego Elias is the world champion 🏆 number 1 he is the Best Congratulations Diego for you and for Peru 🇵🇪
fantastic coverage of the court, nice skill, cleaned up nicely, pro mopper...squash was good too
The rally at around 28:00 is amazing.
Elias is so good, I really want to see him win a few tournaments.
Well he did
Top game. Some outrageous pick ups.
That was an incredible game. Wow
It's a good thing Elias is a talented athlete because he wouldn't get a gig as a pro mopper.
What's a mopper?
@@darkninja1693 Someone who mops the floor of sweat.

Perfect players and great video, thanks
Ps can somebody smash that cicada 😎👍🇱🇺
This is when you wish for a blood transfusion and a new pair of lungs on standby
12-13 is prob the best point i've ever seen
When the ref said after his reveiw was shot down that "It doesn't matter how tight the shot is" ?? that is a very limited application of the proper rules,

He needs to clear his shot though. He needs to move out the way
The ball was high as well

Insane.
It's only during COVID times to avoid anyone else having to enter the court with them
@@squashtv That makes sense! Great commentary guys. Keep safe.
29:46 a comedy show

@@martinjefferies666 Watch your mouth. Please.
What's racist about clapping for a national player?

This mopping the court every couple of shots is ridiculous and an exploitation of the rules.
Never seen worse refereeing than the one in this game... truly shameful decisions
No one got the jokes in the beginning.

lol literally crickets
wtf is this chirping cricket......... man, drives me crazy!
Either mop the floor quickly or continue playing, stop being so annoying..
Masarella should retired.

What are you talking about?
