Full credit to Coll for his work ethic and attitude, and it shows in his game which has come on well. But Farag oozes natural talent and shot-making.
just seems like Paul hasn't been able to break through lately as he did in 2021-22. really hoping to see him at the top again.
His pressure squash is great but I think he needs to introduce more speed changes in his game to really make a difference against someone like Farag. Farag's creativity won over Coll's measured squash today.
2021 - 22 , he got through because the other top guns had a low period.
Coll is not that good, he plays too basic. So boring
I would argue he got lucky and played over his actual skill relative to other players then
@@jimmyxu98 he can’t even beat Elias, Asal and Farag anymore
Farag is just too good. Dominates any type of opponent, from retrievers like Coll to smashers like Asal. Hope him an Elias give us a good show in the final
This is mostly just Farag playing great of course, but Coll didn’t do a lot wrong besides the fact his core game type is just taken apart by the Egyptians *when* they’re on form. He can get wins against that style for sure, but he always needs them to make a few errors. His metronomic style will grind down mere mortals but the very top players of the more creative style will continue to maintain the edge over him. He should be looking at David Palmer, Nick Matthew et al - similarly styled players who added creativity as the pro game evolved during their careers. If his game continues to stand still (save for a few minor tweaks to backhand prep), he’ll likely get increasingly picked off and start to drop down the rankings
Yeh he needs to incorporate some greater pressure and points through strategic creativity.
Cant help but feel what separates this Paul Coll from world #1 Paul Coll is the lack of touch at the front. Right now, he just isn't threatening whereas at his peak it seemed like every other counter drop was winning quality, particularly in the front left.
@@M0odez He is not improving in new skills and his tactical game. Ali, Asal and Diego has constantly improved their tactical as well as technical game. That’s what makes them different
I agree, and the same seems to hold for Makin. Not too long ago bth seemed to be improving their attacking game resulting in big wins, but then they 'reverted' to the safe game again and their ability to hit winners in the front of the court went out the window.
Cool came to play squash but Farag played chess. He outsmarted Coll and was very strategic. He slowed down the ball and played the back corners. A slow game is Coll’s weakness.
Ali on song, a gruelling day at the office for Paul, well played both men.
Farag was born to play squash. Would love to see him walk away from the olympics with a gold.
Coll played all the game. Farag was just directing him where to pickup next ball. It was funny watching it. Great game Farag. You are the best. I think Coll already hit his peak year ago. He is no more in finals or giving tough games. A SF with 3-0 and not giving challenge in any game speaks volume
Ali is unbelievably talented. He does play the top quality
Going to be a banger of a final against Elias
Coll can't out Ali Farag Ali Farag, he needs to use his speed and fitness to agressively attack at a crazy pace. Easy for me to say from my comfy armchair but am I wrong?
It sure looks like it. Paul is running all over the field, Farag barely runs.
@@ErikVanRent True, but he's playing a lot of medium pace, aka 'Farag's game' where Farag will never be troubled. Wondering what Coll's ideal style of game is these days, attritional at this pace wont cut it, Farag owns it.
Well-deserved, Ali. Hope you got that!
Ali is just in a different level than all other players
It was Ali who made Coll the superman. The diver gets the attention and not the one who makes you dive.
That was willstrop actually
Paul Coll is an amazing athlete and squash player no doubt about it. I feel like he needs to be more agressive and use his amazing speed as an offensive strategy. His metronomic, attritional style works for mere mortals, but not the top top players
Why Coll doesn’t kill the ball when he has the chance
I've been saying the same thing in the last couple of games I have seen of his ! So badly needed against a player like Farag
He hasn’t really progressed or developed beyond his attritional game style. He doesn’t take any risk and even when there’s opportunity to hit a winner, his natural tendency is to just hit a high percentage drive to the back. I’m not sure why he’s fallen back to his old boring style, he showed some flair previous two years and he was winning more that time, he just needs the confidence to kill, he can’t just wait for these top guys to make unforced errors, they’re too good.
Can somebody tell me why the boxes with towels Are on the squash court?
A holdover from Covid days
👍👍👍😍👌👌👌👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Commentators keep glazing Paul even as he is losing 😂😂😂 - i love Paul but easy on the bias
Bias? Super obvious bias.
If you look closely there is a giant AAAAAAAARDVARK in the nick
Commentators appear to have a love for Paul Coll.
Won't help
Farag, at times, can seem almost unbeatable! It’s not very often you see Coll lose in straight sets. Farag, seems to have so much time and so many options because of his lightening fast reflexes with the ball. He really is way ahead of even the top 10 and even those who make up the top 5 players! He’s an extraordinary player! At times it was almost as if Farag was toying with Coll with lots of lobs to the back mixed up with short angled shots to the front an little trouble with Coll’s drop shots and counter drops that he got back with ease! As it stands right now! Farag, is the best player on tour in the men’s game!
Paul's game is impeccably solid BUT, he needs to go back to the Paul Coll that takes some risk and goes for kill shots... at this point in his career he appears to be just re-setting points... you can't win matches against the other big 3 when you're doing that.. they don't feel any threat..
Poor Coll got hyped up by the future teller commentor only to lose 0:3. the first time since 2016.
Mr Coll, when the only creative shot you have is the lift you become as predictable as the rain in London. Coll has had to work his butt off to reach the top 5. Farag and the other top players were born into it. He was a mere pretender when got to #1 however much the commentators would like to pretend otherwise.
It’s simple. He let farag open the door for him and left the court first. That’s why coll lost 😂
Is it unfortunate for Coll to hit the tin on the match point? Come on, commentator! It was a clear mistake. This is not a sport of luck.
Coll need to be more aggressive
Once again proves that you can beat lesser players by playing the physical game but will come up short against top players eheb you don't try to win any rallies but wait for mistakes or fatigue.
Coll, sarai forte fisicamente e con una gran tenuta, ma tecnicamente sei debole. Dovresti imparare a tenere più bassa la pallina e non cercare di rimetterla sempre in gioco. Ogni tanto dovresti provare qualche chiusura invece sei sempre in recupero. Possibile che il tuo coach non ti faccia migliorare su questo?
Referees are such a scandalous incompetent. Just have a look at the final. It's outrageously incompetent and ridiculous.
What happened to Paul coll😮
Ali farag happened
Jip Ali happened
Egypt squash
The "Mantis" got rid of him.
Colls game looks so ugly and manufactured now
Ali Farag the best Jahangir Khan the Greatest of All Time GOAT 🐐
