This match being from last year, you can see how Asal attitude has improved since then. Almost no more blocks, no more antics on and off court...

Indeed breathtaking stuff that squash continues to allow this kind of continuous interruptions from constant interferences without any consequences to the players whatsoever. And then, all of a sudden, the players get a severe punishment.

Guys this us from 2023.

Some referees believe giving a “no let” projects strength. I’m not a fan of that mentality.

9-9 obvious stroke. Shorter or longer ball ok, but no man’s land you have to really aggressively clear. One of the first things I learned. “Karate yes, ok. Karate no, ok. Karate so-so - squished like grape.”

I wonder what kind of shoe Karim Gawad is wearing.???

Assl's movement off the ball was not efficient to say the least. That said he's a good talent to reckon with. However between in a match between gawad and asal I'll always find my favor sympathies cheering whatever that might be, in gawad's corner

the only problem with new style refereeing is that it has started to force refs into giving only a stroke or no let. sometimes its just a let and can calm the players down, but when you give strokes or no lets for borderline stuff it gets out of hand. players look for the same situation for cheap stroke or no let and leads to more traffic issues. we know psa is trying to encourage more playing of the ball etc with this refereeing style, but i feel its gone almost past the point where they are giving no lets for simple lets and strokes if there is even a slight unintentional block. IMO ruining things alil, but when 2 clean players play it often doesnt matter too much.

Who won, do we know.

here we go again......

Gawad top notch

عبد الجواد أتعلم من الخواجات أنة بلاعب عسل ويشتكي من كل لعبة.. ضغط نفسي علي عسل وعلي الحكم.. بيحاول يعوض الفارق الفني والبدني مع مصطفي. أخص

The referee created the need for interference here. Head repeatedly penalised for appealing on genuine blocking from Asal then reprimanded for playing through as well. I think he realised then diverted the next appeal to the video referee…

Was this filmed on a potato?

Biased ref...

Bloody LOVE Asal! he makes me believe anything is possible, so henceforth he is the GOAT :)
