Yes, it looks like it. But I looked up the rules and it said - "If the player has done all he can to get out of the way, a let is played." So seems like the let call was fine here. Makin was trying very hard to get away to give Shorbagy room. Having said that, the refereeing in squash needs a lot more transparency.

The rule to consider is actually 8.9 Racket Swing, NOT 8.8 Direct Access. The ref had to decide if his swing (including reasonable follow through) was prevented or affected by the non-striker. Prevented = stroke, slightly affected = let. I think El Shobs follow through would have been prevented, so stroke. Note the commentators talking about the follow through would have taken the other guy's head off!

Great rally but a decision that would be an embarrassment in a club match with a marker from the home team. I'm not a huge fan of El Shorbagy's (even though he's clearly a great player,), and I was delighted when I saw the result as I usually want the underdog to win, but this was a shocker of a decision. And why on earth did the video ref back it up? The whole point of them is to stop poor decisions like this. Just wonder if the video ref felt he or she was the more junior official and didn't have the courage to overrule the senior marker. The PSA officials should meet more often to try to ensure better consistency across the season. The worry is that if players don't think they'll get a stroke in these circumstances, they might be tempted to play a shot when it's clearly dangerous.

Why the hell would you stir up this argument out of nowhere? I have played tennis and I have played squash. Both are extremely physical in their own way. Comparing the sports is pointless. And making such comments is naïve. You could look up crazy physical rallies/matches in tennis and say the same thing there ("Let's hear some more squash players talk about how their sport is harder"). Just because this was a great squash rally doesn't mean that squash IS harder by any means. Squash is a lot of start-stop play with the rubber ball refusing to bounce which means it needs huge power. Tennis has more running and less start-stop stuff but the ball and racquets are heavier; plus, it involves a lot of spin and varieties which squash just cannot have. Different games. Incomparable. Just that they're both physical.

Two different sports. You'll burn more calories from squash because the ball is in play longer. Tennis shorter rallies but more physical. Love to play both precisely because they are so different from each other.

INTERFERENCE Rule 12: " The player is entitled to a stroke (i.e. wins the rally) if the opponent did not make every effort to avoid the interference, OR if the player would have hit a winning return, OR if the player would have struck the opponent with the ball going directly to the front wall. "

Beautiful rally

Loved. It rally on fire

Absolutely incredibel rally, indeed 😍

I don't say this very often, in fact I don't think I ever have, but this decision cost Shorbagy the match. A stroke would have levelled the games at 1-1, but instead Shorbagy went 2-0 down and lost the match 3-0. I think Shorbagy would have had enough in his locker to win the match if he'd won this point! Not very often where one single decision has this much impact but in this case it definitely did!

Wow an amazing rally that’s how to play squash they must be superhuman incredible fitness 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Taki spokojny meczyk bez spiny. Ewidentnie dla przyjemnosci

Stroke..... couldn't be anything else. Sad but true.

Bro 160 shots that’s crazy

Wow...

Stroke

That really was a great rally in the.... ;)

Great rally! Obviously a stroke there at the end, but that kinda makes up a bit for all those dubious calls that went Shorbagy's way over last years. At some point Mohammed had really became a favorite child of PSA, which translated to the refereeing department.

How many shots was that!!

Who is the refree

Very good rally

Makin reminds me of a character from the movie Ghost in the Shell.

I thought he had it in shorbagy

I guess they thought let cause the ball was getting behind shorbagy so tricky to volley? I dunno tho?

STROKEE THIS IS UNFAIR BOOOOOO ACTUALLY BRUTAL

The only reason for deciding a stroke is the video ref didn't want Makin to loose this rally...which is totally understandable imho :)

A whopping 162 shots rally !!!

STROKE STROKE STROKE....

160 shots in that rally! You're welcome

A super long rally and ending up in a let :-)

Great rally! Judging by the comments, I'm one of the few who agrees with the let call here instead of the stroke. ElShorbagy was not planted, ready to hit when he asked for let. He was gassing out under pressure, decided to find a let opportunity to stop the rally instead of continuing and possibly lose. Makin was not in the direct line of the shot, made every effort to get out of the way and had clear advantage even if his shot was loose. Glad the ref didn't let ElShorbagy get away with it so late in the game. Tight call, squash is very hard to ref.

@robertdrake48

Makin has to clear not only for the ball but for the racquet. It's this latter issue that might influence a ref in this case. Also, El Shorbagy need not be "planted," as far I know. His swing has to be reasonable, that's all.

@@naveedenam4045 Yeah, just watched it again and you're right. It really looks a dead set stroke. Only thing is, a professional ref, presumably having watched the actual thing in live 3D and having the full match progress to this point , made a decision which just has to be accepted and, in this case, recovered from. I would think that ME in future would refuse to play with that ref ( I remember being allowed to ask for a change of ref back in my interclub years ) if he thinks he is biased or inconsistent but other than that you just have to grin and bare it. I might have just stormed of in disgust. But I wouldn't have been able to return the service in the first place so I really shouldn't have made the comment at all.

JO MANGEEE This is from the PSA world tour website (psaworldtour.com/news/view/3950/squash-rules-the-basics-explained )- A 'Let' is where the rally is played again - which the referee deeming that the INTERFERENCE WAS ACCIDENTAL or if the officials are undecided. A 'No Let' is where the referee rules against the appeal of the striker and awards a point to the retreating player. In this situation the referee is deeming that the retreating player provided unobstructed access and that interference was minimal, therefore the appealing striker could have played a shot. A 'Stroke' is when the point is awarded to the appealing player. A stroke is awarded when the referee deems the the incoming striker is in position to play a shot but suffers interference due to the outgoing player NOT MAKING EVERY EFFORT TO CLEAR. I’m no Shorbagy fan. So please refrain from condescending language before you know your facts. Here are the rules. Make your own judgement.

In any case, that brings me to my original point the rules are unclear, and you will find different interpretations in different places. In this did the player make every effort to clear? According to the International Squash Federation he did not "a player must make every effort to clear, so that when the ball rebounds from the front wall the opponent has 1- fair view of the ball 2- unobstructed direct access to the ball 3- reasonable space to make a swing 4- freedom to strike any part of the front wall. www.worldsquash.org/ " You can argue that MO did not have any of these at one point or another. It is just a Match no more no less but only in VAS you will you find two games decided by a ref in favor of a UK player!

That is equivalent to a draw in soccer

The ball was traveling at a million miles an hour , no chance to kill it or for delicate drops etc. The decision from both refs was a disgrace......they should be fired.

Worst refereeing I have ever see in professional squash. A referee can only make a sincere mistake once in a game at this level. This was a repeatedly flawed and one-sided refereeing. This person should be banned from referring PSA tournaments.

Some really poor play here. Hitting the ball directly where your opponent is over and over. Also is that ball full of red bull. It's practically got wings.
