Crazy to think that now Ali is now world number 1 and Khalifa is an investment banker. Wonder how far Khalifa could have gone in the squash world. He was already top 50 when he was only 19. I guess everyone has a different path. Ali talks about how playing pro squash after university helped him get around being drafted into the Egyptian military, and if he wasn't drafted, he wouldn't have turned pro. Khalifa could have gone far!

I think a lot of it is down to the different body types. Farag looks like he could better the handle the pyhsicality of pro squash while Khalifa might have been more skilled while in college.

For backhand yes, deviation vs. flexion/extension of the wrist, and forearm rotation (really pronation/supination). knuckles up, palm down. "wipe the table". Keep the lower side of the racquet frame in front of the top side, from the top of the backswing through the point of contact with the ball. Same leading edge technique for the forehand

@japeking18 жыл бұрын
+Greg Born The ball was past him. He could have got it back ( if Farag wasn't in the way ) but not to hit a winner. It was a let (because that was the correct call; because thats what I would have called; because of the game state at the time and because Khalifa had persistently questioned Farag's pick ups despite him always calling his own down when they were. Still a terrific game.
@aleoferdie8 жыл бұрын
I think it was a let when Khalifa made the move to hit the ball the ball was behind him, he could never have volleyed that ball and make the winner. The only way he could played that ball was after hitting the wall and he wasn't hitting a winner in that case. I think he could even play the ball after the wall because Farag was no more in his way. It could even be a no let for some refrees.
