Here's an example where modern materials and improved manufacturing have killed a sport--most of these "rallies" were two hits! Compare this to tennis, squash or badminton in which the players are jockeying for position, and the rallies (especially in squash) can be truly gut-busting. In tennis, they have slowed down the game by making the balls thicker and adding more friction to the court's surface. Perhaps some measures like this need to be explored for racketball?

that's a bold assertion. This match is greatly imbalanced since Kane is one of the most dominant players in this game.

There are several past and current factors as to why this sport has declined, at least in the USA, a few major ones are poor marketing and poor production of major tournament events as well as a huge interest in paddle and pickle ball but in reference to this match, Kane is at the world class level and his opponent definitely is not. No matter what weight,speed of the ball or racquet strength the outcome would have been the same.

Sir, you cannot compare Raquetball to tennis, squash, pickle crap, or badminton. The IRT now plays with a black ball which is slower and does not bounce the same as purple ball. Stick to what you know. Kane is a BEAST. GOAT. In a tournament, you get to play the top players. This kid is obviously not on the same level, but he has a lot of courage to step in the court with the best player in the WORLD, would you do the same???

He never put Kane in a defensive position, if you give a pro - lame ducks, he will roll them out 8/10 times. Man was just way overmatched.

Kane should've called a timeout after giving up the first point. That would've been hilarious.
