Been watching Hamza a lot...and I've commented before on his lack of sportsmanship. Glad he got the conduct stroke at the end, I've seen him stall on game point a few times in the past. Time to stop trying to emulate Asal. You've got the talent to be a great honest player.
The Pakistan player must have learnt from our beloved Asal. One of many examples - at 9:36, he thought it was american football and charged straight for the poor Malaysian player. The no let was a good (and obvious) decision. Props to the referee for knowing her stuff.
Watch it frame by frame, the frame before the racket makes contact with the ball, the ball is still in the air, but only just. I strongly doubt any player could know for certain if it was up or down, and would have to play assuming it was up as the referee didn't call it.
Correction: @9:22 ... "Dishonest" is the wrong word here. All good players play thru. The frame rate didn't catch if it was a double or not. I think it was. But in the end, I think Khan should have been awarded a stroke, but was called a let. So all is good.
Before the end of this match I was thinking, "why is there so much time between rallies?" I started to count the seconds. There was 33 seconds between rallies in the penultimate rally. And apparently the ref thought the same thing calling the conduct stroke. Enough with the shenanigans. This is squash, not soccer. Are you listening my friend Hamza Khan? Second note: safety googles shouldn't be required at this level of play.
Hamza is talented, but a little naughty. When you're that good, you know when your balls are doube or down; great for Joachim to play let. Great end to the game lol
best end of the match ever, I just love it ;-)
1:34 that guy was very honest :D

말레이시아 선수 멋졌다

He is in the same category as Asal and Marwan in term of fairplay and sportmanship. Maybe worse.

All juniors are required to play with safety goggles in England (and most if not all countries).

instead of teaching squash, teach sportmanship first
