I cannot remember any other person who brought so much excitement to squash. I might suggest Shabana but Ramy is utterly on a different level to everyone else. I recall Jahangir and Jansher's dominance but the style of play at that time to put it bluntly was not really inspiring as their fitness dominated their game so much that the rallies just went on and on until the opponent just collapsed from fatigue. Ramy is the short game super-specialist and can kill off nearly everyone when he's in the groove without using fitness or stamina. Damn I'm sounding like a groupie, but that's exactly what Ramy has brought to the game......AWE!

Agreed Tony -- I've had the pleasure of watching many of the great players live -- for example, Geoff Hunt, Jonah Barrington, Jansher Khan, Rod Martin, Rod Eyles and John White. For me, many of them were relentless and somewhat robotic -- none had the same sublime skills that Ramy demonstrates -- as you say, he's on a different level (sorry, I'm being a bit harsh on those other great players!). Also pleased to see that Ramy is a great sportsman. Australian Tristan Nancarrow was a talented and freakish player, but his temperament let him down

well put!

It's just not the same when hes gone

Love watching the highlights from PSA SquashTV. Ramy looks healthy. Some of his gets were unbelievable. So many great set up shots to force Gawad into loose shots. I hope Ramy has an injury free year!!!

Great job Gawad, stay in this good shape and you'll have success. Welcome back Ramy!

He certainly did.

Sorry everyone but Ramy is the king of squash

Two of the best magicians in squash. Still can't believe ashour racket control - great Reflexes near the front wall and great speed and depth (from a relatively short backswing) 👌. Gawad's retrieval is immense 👍

there is only one true squash god when he is fit.lets hope ramy can stay fit tis season because watching his squash is so educational and a pleasure.licky licky bum bum..

Please could you start uploading in 60fps, it would make the game look even better! 1080p60 FTW! Thanks for the upload 😉

Because these matches are shown on broadcast television there are rules and regulations about what format we have to shoot in, our whole kit is based around these specifications

....why would you say that? It's like 30fps, but with twice as much information.

Best tournament in a awhile very entertaining.. Awesome level of squash.. Love how Gawad is Soo effortless and calm

Great to see Ramy back -- Gawad is a great player and I love watching his game, but at times Ramy really made him struggle. Also interesting to see some of Ramy's drives hit with such ferocity that they moved sideways off the front wall.A great match!

wow the legend is back

Always enjoy watching Ramy on court... Made my day.

Really love watching Ramy~ So clean and good landing

Ramy is back and with a bang! Hands down to Gawad for putting up a great performance

7:13 shot of the month

He's BACK!

Ramy is a great guy! So glad he won a tournament this year! :)

Ramy has got Squash flowing in his blood... he has got some fantastic front boost n nice vollies....

Great start... I hope he can remain healthy for the season, El Shorbagy needs the competition.

RAMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I even like Ramy more than Mohamed El Shorbagy

can you upload the match please

Go Ramy!

the king's return

Great to see Ramy back playing well!

Great to have him back, true magician !!

That missed low-five at 9:52 was funny.

All the new paintings on the tombs they do the Squash dance don't you know...

The genius Ramy far more entertaining than borring Elshorbagy

One question, I am relatively new to this domain...why is everybody so obsessed with Ramy Ashour? Also he seems to be the only player referred to by his first name.

@SantiagoOntanonVillar

The main reason is that he's unbelievable talented, and many believe he could potentially be the number 1 if it wasn't because of the injury problems he's been having, which constantly force him to retire from tournaments. So, at least in my case, I am very excited when he is in good shape and can participate! Hopefully this year we can see him in many tournaments!

To make an ice hockey comparison, he would be Sidney Crosby. There were great players before him that totally dominated the game (Jahangir Khan, Jansher Khan and Jonathon Power), but perhaps none posessed the raw talent that Ramy does. It's unbelievable how much he dominates the court when he's healthy.

Go watch some of his megarallies. He has charisma on the court, a bit more personality than a lot of the players. A very cerebral player, if you will.

James Willstrop says in his book that there are two types of squash he's played: normal squash, and squash against Ramy Ashour. His footwork and wrist position are so weird that you'd probably get yelled at by your coach if you try to copy his style (there are ppl play like him but he's probably the only person who can still pull this off when competing at the highest level). When he's on fire he doesn't grind his opponent down like typical top pros do, instead he completely dismantles them.

It's possible he's called by his first name because his older brother Hisham used to also play on the tour (retired 2-3 years ago?).

M0odez another of the big differences between Ramy and his contemporaries is his ability to volley more balls -- many other players are content to play ground strokes off the back wall when confronted with their opponent's drive, but Ramy just waves his magic wand and caresses the ball into the front corner (or drives it deep -- or plays a fading boast) Great stuff!
