Clean match, no assal, no cry

I like occasional use of the back corner tracking camera. It feels almost like being on the court.

Just inspirational... not just the remarkable squash but the admirable sportspersonship makes it a joy to enjoy.

Farag way above the rest, makes it look so easy against the top players, best ambassador For the game of squash.

What a human being!!

Makins slowly becoming a number 1. If he can continue to learn how to put the ball away he may be undefeatable

I loved the moving camera angle from the back court on the forehand side!! thank you :)

Great match. Lovely to see Makin developing shots and not just being a super fit retriever which will not be enough to beat th top players these days. Also great to see Farag in superb form.

great camera angle to see in 4:32

Farag is far beyond the other players

These two are very special on their own ways. What a time to be watching squash.

Great match. Makin is very gutsy. He’ll move up the rankings. Brave.

I don't think I have ever seen an ace at this level. Lol.

great game, two of my favourite players, with very different styles, enthralling to watch!

@squashtv seems like theres and issue with the framerate. KZread thinks the video if 50fps but the video is choppy and i doubt it is even 30fps. Suspect the input video for the sequence is 30fps into a 50fps timeline resulting in a lot of missed frames

0:32 That was a thing of beauty and a joy forever!

So good

inspirational player Farag..

great camera work at 4:30

Absolutely awesome!

The camera angle at start of 3rd game was great. Gives much better idea of the pace and reach of the players

Very heavy match. Beautiful!

Best match I have seen Joel play! Brought the best out of Farag. A real treat

This is a contender for match of the year!

This great game

Makin has fitness, speed and perseverance, but Farag has too much skill and guile

GREAT, GREAT. Hope I don't see Assal for a long time.

Great match

Although Farag makes it look easy AF, due credit to Makin. Makin's slowly starting to become the player I root for always.

Nice

Love farag!

Makin is a beast and he’ll be no1 sooner or later but Ali Farag is next level

Faraq just keeps the rally going slightly longer than Makin is physically comfortable with. He's gonna have adapt to those longer rallies.

For me, it's not so much the length of the rallies as the shots Makin played, which played into Farag's hands. A lot of the crucial points were decided by poor cross-courts played by Makin when under no real pressure, or after he'd put himself under pressure from weak returns. He's as fit as anyone on tour, but if you're doing, say, 55% of the running in each point that will soon wear you down, especially if you're playing the world's best player.

@@davesmith826 That's true. He's gotta work on the quality of his shots as well.

He was only on Gear #2?

Makin's biggest problems are (A) his shot selection and (B) the power with which he hits to ball. He had Farag under the cosh when taking the pace off the ball, not when he leathered it. His cross-courts were also too shallow and/or too wide. With a couple of better choices in the second game, this would have gone to the wire. He needs a better coach, assuming he has one.

This is Ali of old, unplayable when he’s like this

Makin played to Ali farag should ave made the game faster

No stroke in this open?

Excellent comp without Asal.

stop with that stupid camera angle.. its making me dizzy

Hes just too good. Makes it look so damn easy...

another one for Farag so he can stay on his little cloud of perfection Painful will be the fall
