Very happy to see Rodriguez win; possibly my favourite player to watch. Bittersweet if this has taken all of his energy from the next round, and when I think that he's surely in the final years of his career.
Imagine dedicating your life to the craft, working yourself to the bone, sacrificing everything, training day in and day out for years to come, only to come on court and see Rodriguez wearing a pink shirt. I swear that shirt makes him world number one every time he puts it on.
Te Felicito.... Jugaste con mucha garra, sigue así !!! Eres un gran JUGADOR y lo demostraste, ojala que sigas creciendo y acumulando mas triunfos !!! SALUDOS desde México
"Biggest result of his career"??? Man beat #1 Elshorbagy to win the British Open, I think that was the biggest result of his career thank you very much 🤣
If Rodríguez would have developed maybe about 60% of modern top players racquet skills and technique, he would have been number one for many seasons with that athleticism and guts.
When seeing Rodriguez play like this, I can only imagine how good he'd have been if he'd have had any kind of short game. His dropshots in general are almost as bad as Rösner's were :P
@@MrJoel3498 Funnily enough in late 2018 I remember Rosner himself found exceptional form in his drop shots, particularly on the backhand, and that's when he shot up to #3 in the world with wins over all the big players.
"That was a monumental rally!" from the commentators, after we've just cut to the second last shot in the rally. Interesting choice with the editing here,
Hope that shot at match ball goes for shot of the month. There's no luck in hitting the nick on any shot where it's the target; that applies to both the front and back of the court.
Is it only me... I am bit bit upset with a country like Qatar arranging a game like this and the seats are almost empty? If I had a game between Farag and Rodriguez within travelling distance I would go right away! OK, they have the money to arrange it, but there is a big debate about "sport washing" in all other sports?
I understand that these new titles are supposed to grab more attention from non-subscribers, but it just feels wrong and more or less spoils the results of the matches. *edit* - they’ve changed it to ‘what a match’. Much better

Farag has class. Gracefull in defeat. Some of the young Egyptians could learn from him. Rodrigez deserved this match, such determination.
My thoughts exactly.

It's purple 💜 this is pink 💖
dafuq r u on lol
@@gordonyoung2784 Clearly I have better eye sight and grammar than yourself. 🤣
What's even wrong with the pink shirts? hahahah
Wow, I don't think anyone was expecting the World #1 and #2 to be out of the tournament by round 3!
I was
Farag is such a gentlemen. Wish we had a whole tour of him. Best match from Cannonball since the British Open - finish it strong!!
The retrieval quality in this match was top notch by both players. A great competitive spectacle 👌👌
only Farag could be this graceful in defeat. pure class. a role model for everyone, not just squash fans worldwide
He probably was holding his madness
I'm an egyptian fan who loves Rodriguez. Great match and well deserved win
Unbelievable match. Both players are so classy. Wish they could both win.

love to watch these two,great sports and quick thinkers trying to outwit each other.
"Biggest result of his career"??? Man beat #1 Elshorbagy to win the British Open, I think that was the biggest result of his career thank you very much 🤣
After having beaten, Ashour, Mosaad, Farag, and a very focused Kandra at that
At that time shorbagy was fasting
@@MrJoel3498 Ashour got injured in round 1 of the BO, Ramy isn't like any other top players, he's a legend 😆
What a match! Great to see the underdog win with a fantastic fighting spirit
What a massive match and effort from Miguel.....wow.
BRAVO...MIGUEL ANGEL...!!!! 😀
Reminded me of his win against Gautier 10 years ago! Good win
The TOC Quarter Finals? I think it was only 7 or 8 years ago.
RIP Headphones 10:30 😂 Great match!
Vamos Miguel Angel 💪 sos grande
Legends of the sport!
Squash is back ❤️✅🙏😎
just insane
Rodriguez was so fresh and sharp.
2 great players
Farag - very classy
I came to say hi…and see theses spectacular places almost empty still…¡HOW COME!
If Rodríguez would have developed maybe about 60% of modern top players racquet skills and technique, he would have been number one for many seasons with that athleticism and guts.
Excellent 👍
Jeez that last shot was a lucky one lol
Rodriguez has the same momentum right now like the british open he won
When seeing Rodriguez play like this, I can only imagine how good he'd have been if he'd have had any kind of short game. His dropshots in general are almost as bad as Rösner's were :P
lol, just looking at what Coll was able to do after adding some attacking shots to his game should be enough incentive for other players I feel.

Stop hating. Its quality content
PLEASE BRING BACK ALL THE HIGHLIGHTS TO RUclips. Like if you agree.
Farag is quality
Hope that shot at match ball goes for shot of the month. There's no luck in hitting the nick on any shot where it's the target; that applies to both the front and back of the court.
Can someone explain to me that match point and how Farag lost it? I just can't tell from the video. Did it bounce 2x?
Crazy number of upsets in the world of rackets lately: Coll, Farag, Nadal, Medvedev 🤯
Wooow!
Wait how old is Rodriguez?
اول عراقي🗣🇸🇾
Incredible match. Tenacity won.
Love the highlights on this channel, but those commentators do my head in screaming too often when there’s a long point or a good shot.
Did Rodriguez so gratitude in Sajood?
"36 years old and natural hair color". HAHAHAHA
Why are there no fans present? Covid restrictions still? Disappointing…

Luckily I misread it as 'takes on' otherwise I wouldn't have watched
Just looking to see if someone had already said this. Obviously have a new marketing teenager trying to click bait the matches. 🤣
ABsolute scandal SUperb!
How old is he??
Rodriguez 36
@@takadakine10 haha i Know it's just because they repeat that all the time "the 36 years of age" "36 years old" for each match.
@@matthieu1786 Oops I didn't realize that 😅
Flat nic on match ball!
Calm down with the '36 years of age!!!'. I'm 37 and I'm barely even tapping into my prime.
hahaha
Cannonball!
It's a crime that we are only getting one match a day.........
