Wow wow wow, squash can‘t get more entertaining than that!

[@TheN00bPolice]

Crouin’s backhand is the best I’ve ever seen bar Shabana, but definitely the best for a right hander. Absolutely amazing cut he gets on the ball on his drives and length

[@carolinefoulkes9599]

Soy peruana y apoyo al Puma Elias, pero mi favorito es el colombiano Rodriguez, es increiblemente atletico, ameno, divertido, es insuperable, el es all round athlete. Debe tener un mega corazon para aguantar todas esas salvadas !!!

[@yashtalwar8027]

Rodriguez is another level athlete

[@yelow989898]

I want this court on every tournament

[@oliverharvey7561]

poetry in motion.

[@tonytan5945]

7:05 ref calls “down” but only Rodriguez heard it but wasn’t sure, so everyone just played on??

Fantastic squash, commentary not so.

[@andrewcreeggan5251]

foot faults bugging anyone? Did Rodriguez use his racquet as a cane at 6:41? hilarious this athlete!

[@TheN00bPolice]

Well he is getting on a bit ;-)

[@baseballgenius3]

Not bothered by foot faults at all. They are so irrelevant to squash compared to many other racquet sports they’re not worth calling IMO. They don’t gain any notable advantage, and players aren’t doing it to try to gain any advantage. It’s just not important.

[@elchanclascocina]

​@@baseballgenius3I feel the advantage they get is by allowing them to serve a little bit more parallel and closer to the opposite wall, while for example in tennis I feel the advantage is even less, as in the pros the foot fault are by millimeters, and in recreational they basically are part of a wrong technique (people would serve better without those foot faults). When I play tennis I'm not even close to foot faulting, but when I play squash I definitely stretch the rubber as much as possible. ✌️

[@baseballgenius3]

As someone who is short (5’9”) I need all the angle I can get when serving in tennis. I’m a 4.5 tennis player. In squash, no amount of extra parallelism to the side wall is going to cause any appreciable difference in the serve for me or my opponents, but I am a 5.5 to 6.0 squash player. May just be a function of my relative skill in squash being much higher. It’s not like guys are tossing the ball and hitting it from the opposite wall (though Farag probably has the wingspan to do that if he really wanted to). Plus the serve isn’t really an offensive shot in squash the way it is in tennis. I’m used to the argument that players are getting to the T “faster”, but there’s so much time to get to the T after serving that it’s also irrelevant. I think it would be detrimental to the game if refs started trying to nitpick foot faults. I feel the same way about tennis honestly, but at least they get a 2nd service if it happens. Squash has no faults so it’s just an instant loss of serve. No hard feelings about any of it, just sharing my POV. I see this foot fault thing pop up from time to time in the comments.

[@elchanclascocina]

@@baseballgenius3 Great input, thanks! I feel in tennis, you gain more advantage in serve by reaching as high as possible, hadn't thought that the deeper you went into the court it would make such a difference with the angles, I guess it does make sense! Agree with the squash part, the higher the level, the less important serve gets. I just think the more time it is close to the wall the better, but that may be just me as I hate getting balls off the wall. ✌️
