faresdessouky: Lost yesterday in the quarters of the world open to Ramy Ashour and you know what it is like to play Ramy in Egypt all credits to him.. It was great to be with Ramy on court after all those injuries he suffered and i wish him best of luck for the rest of tournament I think we played good and fair squash throughout the match yet i owe him an apology for not completing and stepping out of court in the 3rd.. I know thats not a sportsmanship thing to do but i struggled alot with the refs' harsh decisions accompanied by the video decisions throughout the match where at some point i couldn't handle the pressure specifically after the last supposedly stroke to me where i realized i was playing against Ramy and the refs at the same time and that they were trying to punish me harshly by not giving me any chance to survive on court At the end of the day im still happy with the way i performed this tournament , Im sorry to all my fans and family if i let you down..i thought i wasnt far from victory but I'm still 22, still learning from my mistakes and i know ill keep on gaining more experience by time on how to deal with situations where not everything is on your side.. I've learned alot in this tournament and i promise i will be back stronger and more mature.. Thanks to all who supported me this week.. My family, my sponsors and my coaches.. And thanks to Wadi Degla Club for hosting this great event

That was a stroke!

Hey Dessouky, don't get disappointed. You are GOOD and only 22!! The world Squash has just gotten to know you and we want you to play for us (if not always for yourself). Keep it up: you are on par with the greats.

Anyone can see that is a stroke... except the ref.

Feel sorry for Dessouky his very passionate in his game that he hates to argue over points..

Toby i think it should have been a let in my opinion because it looked like he had enough room to play the ball. If not then ashour was moving out of the way trying to give him space to play the ball. I think it looked like he was doing it as a safety precaution just in case☺

Agree 100%This ref has been doing this kind of atrocious refing for some time. Most of the time he is not even looking on the game. That ref is a disgrace.

Respect to both players for the great game at such an advanced stage of the championship. And a great commentary by Sumner. Kid, you found your future job :)

"The Cursed Child"....classic. Some of the best commentary of the year!! :-)

That was a horrendous call by the refs on match point but Dessouky should still have finished the match. You are a PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE. Act like it!!! If you think your life is tough, go and talk to the kid in the commentary box.

That was 100% stroke for Dessouky, but come on, man up and fight til the end. There is often a lot of injustice in most sports where referees are involved, but I've never ever seen anybody quit because of it. He was very disrespectful towards Adnan in previous match and this was plain disgraceful.

I think an example needs to be made of the ref, that particular ref, for continuous poor refing. He does hardly watch the game.

The refereeing was completely horrific in the last tournament and continues in this one.

I think it's fantastic they brought a child into the commentary box, not only will it have made his year but it pushes squash back into the children's lifestyle !

Love Ramy, but actually feel sorry for Fares. You can see in the point where he surrendered how much it means to him.

The full match is worth watching for the discussion of video camera quality alone

Other commentators should have taken mic from that kid. Cancer or no cancer that was bush league. Should we all look at our own personal problems and then gauge how much disrespect to others we should dish out? Justify bad behavior by how sad our own personal life is? A very admirable quality to this game is the gentleman-ly behavior towards opponents. Wouldn't you have thought more of this kid if he said- "He looks like he is going to cry. I have been there before. This game can destroy you." The trolls on here applaud the insults? What life do you have?

RIP Sumner :'(( , u will be remembered!!

Dessouky, thanks for the direct response and explanation below. It was a match you'd rather forget but please learn from it and get stronger in both mind and spirit. We have all been young and been through that stage of life, it's even harder with the high level pressure you are under. You have immense talent and don't need to use any tactics other than to play great fair squash, you'll go far. Use Ramy as a good example or mentor later, people love ramy for his skill but equally for his sportsmanship.

I often laugh out loud when either watching highlights or replays of matches on squash tv due to the commentary, but that kid saying "I've never seen a man cry before" is quite possibly the single best thing I've ever heard. Full stop. Can he please come back for more??

graemenawn that should have been a stroke. but my guess is he was already frustrated from previous decisions made against him or something. like the previous one where the let was over turn. also maybe because the audience were cheering Remy and that got to him. or maybe he threw everything at him and still hoping his body will give way but nothing happened . it really a funny last part to the match.

IMO that's maybe the most common reason for arguments about strokes (the ball not having actually arrived where it could be played) but here it *looks like* (can't be definitive with only one angle) that Dessouky could have reached forward and punched the ball for a volley before Ramy had fully cleared the front wall.

Kid was good. : )

I know the feeling - I always feel I should have a stroke, I always feel that the ref is against me :) Have to get on with it though - ref is not always right, one just have to accept that as part of the game. He still could have won, so, bad decision by Dessouky.

I think @psasquashtv owes Dessouky an apology.

It's 200 percent stroke why nt take action against ref what a shame dessouki world class player and as it's age so can't handle his emotion but never the less he is far better than any player

Whilst I think that is unprofessional to do that in the world championship, you can actually feel his frustration if you watch the whole match. He had many instances of contact, but because the refs feel he wasn't trying to play the ball and then gave him no let (even after video review on 2 occasions). And every time Ramy had similar situations, Ramy got the lets because he was trying to play, which I guess from his perspective on the court was very one sided. So yeah, I guess the yes let on match ball was the last straw, and I guess at 22 with such a huge opportunity it is quite difficult to handle.

Fares is just disappointed, poor guy.. Must be frustrating to play Ramy as he's such a dynamic player. Got to be calm tho and remember to be a gentlemen and a good sport. There's really no point in playing if you're not.. No real winners if there's a lack of sportsmanship, only lossers. Suppose there is a lot of money at stake! ;)

Can someone explain why it should have been a stroke? I don't understand why the play was halted.

Ramy doesn't need to be helped by refs. Ramy is still the king and these decitions affect squash

gg

"Never seen a man cry before" lol

Like many people around here, I love and root for Ramy every time he plays. However, that was a stroke. I sympathize with Dessouky. I think one has to have the right to say: I shouldn't be bothering with an unqualified lot like you. Squash suffers from a very bad affliction - referees...

Very, very unsportsmanlike behaviour of Dessouki.

Irrespective of how he felt you can't walk off in a 1/4 of the World Championships because of the officials. Very unsportsmanlike, let himself and the sport down. We are trying to get this sport into the olympics and sportsmanship is a massive part of that. Would you see Federer or Nadal walk off the court at Wimbledon because they didn't get the desicion?? You have to be professional to the end take your frustration out away from the public eye not in front of it and except what is put in front of you. Dessouky has never done himself any favours with the officials in the matches I have watched him play in...

Poor sportsmanship at the end there from dessouky. Bad representation of squash But Ramy took haul tier to get an MRI today so great sportsmanship

Absolute disgrace. Dessouky first asking for a let without interference. And then crying over a controversial decision. It looked like a stroke but Ramy got out of the way. From another angle, it might just look like a let. And if a let was called, he should have manned up and played. Dessouky wasn't a girl for crying, but he sure as hell was a pathetic loser for quitting the way he did. He should have been fined for unsportsmanlike behavior.
