Ibrahim is a feast to watch. World no 1 material

[@PrashanthRaoNDZ]

He will be, I want him to dominate Asal, so that some sense gets into that Marwan-esque brain of his, if they both play fair, it would be a cracker like never before.

[@popsmoke092edits2]

he first needs to fix his game mentally. This match is a perfect example

[@danielfamayoutubable]

Coll is always recognized for his fitness and retrieving capabilities, which are superhuman, but he has improved the rest of his game so much. He may not put the ball in the nick as much as others, but that reduces his error count. He hits accurately consistently. He is also mentally tough and experienced. It's no surprise he is world # 1.

[@andalusix02]

Such class from Coll! Also what an incredible performance from Youssef. As an Egyptian it makes me proud to see such a humble and classy talent.

[@Poulsby]

Agree, both are great, but Youssef didn’t look that classy in the semi 😵‍💫

[@chironares]

@@Poulsby That's more Marwan's fault than Youssef's

[@budgeman77]

Keeping the pressure on = mental victory. Usually. This was truly a game of millimeters, down to the last second. Super entertaining.

[@storydeconstructor1922]

When a guy who can hit a winner from any position plays a guy who can retrieve any shot... recipe for beautiful squash. With Ibrahims skills and Colls fitness you'd have a pretty perfect player

[@ngzijian14]

with ibrahims skills and colls fitness, + that bit of magical touch, you'd get a Ramy Ashour

[@DaveNeve]

Thanks to Paul Coll and Youseff Ibraham for giving us such entertaining squash played with the utmost sportsmanship🤝

[@Everbrooks]

Man I need to see this match in its entirety! This has to be one of the best finals I have ever seen. Holy, the shots Ibrahim pulled off. Absolutely insane accuracy.

[@PrashanthRaoNDZ]

OMG I honestly, dint see Paul wining this time, since he's never played this improved Ibrahim, but man was i wrong, goes on to show what it takes to be WORLD NUMBER 1! Its not just winning against players who you're comfortable with but to deal with players who can exploit your style of play and still come out on top. TAKE A BOW! Paul and Ibrahim are both one of my favorite players on the tour! Glad to see Ibrahim reach the finals and play the way he did and Paul you are truly amazing, the discipline, commitment, mental strength and consistency, you've mastered it all mate, so good to see a non-Egyptian play at this level, Congrats Superman! P.s, Props to both players for showing amazing sportsmanship and delivering such clean and classy game! Some players on the tour could learn a thing or two.

[@SergeiFedorov77]

Great win by Coll but sooo excited about what Ibrahim will show us in the future.

[@kckcmctcrc]

Absolutely

[@fcpcb]

Nice to watch a clean yet intense match!

[@user-zj8mq9dl6y]

can we appreciate coll's conduct throughout this match? could easily have appealed for a let at 1:51, called his own double at 6:19. his conduct and skills are both worthy of a world number one

[@riteinureye7299]

And what a breath of fresh air that must have been for Ibrahim after the match with Marwan.

[@conanthanoz19]

This is one of the best matches in PSA tour history. The quality is immaculate.

[@michelinman666]

Excellent stuff! Looking forward to seeing Ibrahim at canary wharf next week, and likely another match up against Coll on current form.

[@stuartkerr1172]

can’t wait

[@afedorczuk]

WOW!!!! Ibrahim was INCREDIBLE.

[@stevehughes1510]

What a match, Ibrahim's skills are breathtaking. A hard and well earned win from the new world #1 kiwi.

[@jonnyn007]

Ngā mihi, Paul! One of the great champions. Taking the fitness levels of Nick Matthew to the next level and smashing it technically at the moment.

[@erikhemmingsson1188]

The current world no.1 against a future world no. 1, great match.

[@irfanvirji5319]

What a great game! Tremendous quality of squash from both players. Can only dream of seeing them play in person

[@swingeasyguy]

I finally broke down and bought a subscription to squash TV; those semis and finals were awesome, men and womens

[@TheFinav]

Wowzers... this final was an absolute classic!

[@alinaqvi2638]

What a match. Ibrahim is a future world champion.

[@adamburton99]

Love Paul Coll however, Ibrahim is fast becoming my very favourite player! So special

[@hokicoki]

Good highlights show. So much better like this than when you gradually bring the amount rallies down to hardly any for the final. I think this about the right level to garnish interest and to encourage more subscribers for full matches.

[@kavinsood612]

What a match!

[@BeakFoundry]

Amazing game - so glad I watched the full thing live. Felt bad that Ibrahim had that nose bleed, but nice to see him come straight back on and win that game.

[@kalawadda988]

An absolute treat to watch. A worthy final

[@shs5870]

so amazing two guys

[@drsnz]

I love squash. I'm in NZL and support Paul and Joelle. I am always impressed by the skills of all the players. BUT .... will the referees PLEASE call foot faults. It's in the rules. See Ibrahim at around 6:11. When he hits the ball, he's already virtually on the T.

[@jj9749]

correct, both feet are about 10cm outside the box before he has even connected with the ball

[@ddboy123ful]

Very excited for the next decade of squash after seeing this!

[@Haroldvschouwen]

I've seen 't full match and this was such a blockbuster! Coll played out this game so masterfuly, extending those first two games, and follow-up it up with precise and clean play. All praise to Ibrahim tho, he made it nail bitting till the end with insane excelerations, pressure and killshots. He is going places!

[@JB-qm7vt]

Fantastic final - please post the whole match

[@wongahfook]

Classy Coll

[@ludvigsundstrom6218]

This is pure squash gold

[@arnaud78]

Ibrahim is such a machine! Paul Coll is #1 for a reason though. Don't know anyone more worthy of it than him at this point.

[@stuartpalmer3143]

Ibrahim (unseeded) falls to the world no.1 in the final. Great effort from both players 👏

[@stevebrake4676]

Great match ! Everyone likes a good comeback!

[@TheN00bPolice]

The first rally ibrahim looks exactly like Shabana in his swing, prep and shot choice

[@georgekrumm1857]

It was interesting to see that Coll's game isn't as suited for a new ball as one might think. With a very bouncy ball his options are limited and he risks giving up cheap points and strokes over-stretching for volleys and hitting high re-drops. He requested a new ball against Momen in the prior round and it made things difficult for him in game 4. Of course with a dead ball, as it got at the end of game 5, opponents like Ibrahim can start hitting fast winners against him.

[@uglymandarronson9838]

Aren't you contradicting yourself? Coll won the 4th with a new ball? and then the 5th, when the "dead ball" was suited to Ibrahim hitting winners?

[@kzuhair]

It was fitness that mattered at the end. Paul no wonder wears the Superman T-Shirt. He would have be down and out if he was not fit plus he waited for the other to make enforced error and Yousuf was not up to the challenge mentally & Physically. Also I like Paul, he is a humble and down to earth person like most Kiwis. Met him at Netsuite Open in SF.

[@ReallyGhey]

Brilliant match. Well done Coll!

[@Dublinby]

The classic squash style beating the modern squash style. Seeing Coll win this, shows me if Wilstrop and Matthew and Gaultier were still playing in this era they would be there right at the top. The new generation avoid and do not like playing down the line continuously. Kudos to both guys, and great match :)

[@123Jacktu]

Gautier and Matthew gave them a good battle even when they were over the hill by their standards.

[@Faisal1504]

Wow!

[@jojuraza1462]

Coll is such a humble super athlete. And Ibrahim Waow talent.

[@andresmontalba7752]

Coll ! Impresionante desempeño!!!

[@aframhazou7764]

Ibrahim and Asal will be nightmare for their opponents .

[@tobymcrobie3103]

Ibrahim hits nicks from anywhere

[@ahmedmoosa2001]

Any 1 remember the nose bleed at 10- 7 in the first game were Ebrahim was giving Coll a lesson in classy squash...with the handicap of a tissue placed in 1 nostril...loss of breathing and concentration...yet 9-9 in the fifth...next time definitely no nose bleed and Ebrahim will win convincingly

[@antonybateson9060]

Just jeep liking superman more and more ... classy guy, amazing comeback to win ... no whining

[@maxwedekind8992]

What a tournament for Ibrahim

[@MrPatrick1414]

Great match... Knew that if Coll won the 3rd it was lights out for Ibrahim. Fitness!

[@magedhafez5176]

we have seen several matches in this tournament switching completely after 2nd game !

[@ghawatzhusten3368]

Coll is consistency at it's best

[@SoundHumility]

This is amazing with this final one was either going to keep getting stronger after this or break.... these type of matches are not easy on the body..... it is hard for someone like Ibrahim to be consistent at this level.... you have to train like David Goggins everyday to keep up with Paul Coll now..... otherwise you will collapse with exhaustion.... when he started bleeding it was a sign he had over pushed his body

[@MartinPower]

Wow Ebrahiem shower that he has x factor, some of those rallys were sublime.

[@ckoegl]

Lol, I loved how Coll was quipping back at the interviewer.

[@sandeep_ram97]

Billie Jean King’s reaction at the end said it all, shame Ibrahim couldn’t pull through

[@smca7271]

just made it...Ibrahim is a worthy opponent and getting better.

[@paulandmelissagardiner7676]

Youssef was super impressive in play and in the way he managed the game and tournament.....how he had to deal with a petulant child in his semi. I imagine the pressure on Coll this week would have been enormous given his new No 1 ranking. You don't want to lose your first tournament at no1 right, especially to someone outside top 10. Coll will be way better for getting this one out the way i reckon.

[@neilhansen49]

Holy Cow!

[@kwankuiwa5885]

Coll win all Egypt player is need more hard more patient ! congrats to Paul !

[@tonytan5945]

Just so happy that ............ Asal wasn't in the final

[@ashutoshpatel4988]

Ibrahim gives glimpses of Shabana. He will be better than Asal for sure. He is a brilliant shot maker and generates some serious power. Coll will still rule for a year but not beyond that.

[@peterhammer4644]

I agree on Ibrahim being better than Asal in the future. Though I think Paul Coll might be in the top3 for a very long time.

[@immigrant9475]

He is ONE COOL COLL! CONGRATS!

[@intermilan7413]

존버의 콜 넘 추카추카 ㅠㅠ

[@yagnyeshtripathy]

Ibrahim was out of the world. But if Coll could still beat him when Ibrahim was getting all his best shots only shows real consistent high class. Ibrahim might not have such good days but Coll has a game that he can replicate more consistently....

[@rossemans8996]

That's one way of looking at it - but another would be to say that Coll was put under tremendous pressure by an unseeded player ranked 17th in the world who managed to reach his first platinum event final and played amazingly well right to the end of a very long match. Credit to Coll for getting the win, but Ibrahim has only just turned 23 and if he keeps playing like that I don't see why he can't not only reach but win more finals in the future. Excellent match played in the right spirit - both of them are great for the sport.

[@jackieking1522]

If this had been cricket, an honourable draw would have been declared .

[@mujadidarham4844]

haha yeah

Paul Coll one of the fittest athletes out there.

What a monster Paul Coll …….

[@jj9749]

wow

[@kashifjaved4545]

Ibrahim will be world number 1.

[@arminkierylak9620]

Wowwwwwwwwwwww.

[@michalszychowski7225]

Finally someone interesting to watch, as opposed to all these current boring super fit cyborgs who would just play one more drive or cross with zero risk. This guys reminds me about Ramy Ashour and Amr Shabana at once.

[@MrOgunseyinde]

This is a game and a half .

[@zx1701]

I'm so glad Coll won. The other guy needs to lose a few games to humble himself. He was completely out of line in the game with Marwan.

[@mohamedsheik4589]

Was hoping ibrahim would beat Coll. Can’t believe he lost?

[@TheHilarious91]

Although Ibrahim is talented, it's also his game to lose, he was 2-0 up and couldn't convert the match, Paul fitness and consistency is why he's world number one, and he behaves like one unlike Ibrahim during the semi final

[@u1zha]

1:09 the interference avoiding move - something out of The Matrix, something to learn from in slow mo. Too bad he made a loose return anyway

[@picklegeez]

Great game, Paul coll come across pretty awkward in his speech lol

[@khhelmy3]

مش قادر افهم ليه اللاعبين المصريين ما بيفهموا يعني ايه طب نفسي رياضي

[@josephcapella4294]

Funny how Ibrahim still not the best in college squash

[@kt10208]

It’s like Ibrahim just mentally gave up.

[@coucouloulaable]

Coll was lucky

[@user-ie5nf4tp4f]

Luck is also a skill.

[@notherntranceaddict181]

I think luck helps in a lot of sports but I genuinely believe that a winner in squash is very rarely lucky. Your opponent makes mistakes, that's on him. Doesn't make you lucky because you make fewer of them. For example.

[@123Jacktu]

Not at all. If anything Ibrahim hitting constant rollers for the first 2 games is lucky. You can't maintain that forever. Coll is all about playing to a margin of safety. It worked.

[@DaveNeve]

if Coll was an animal, he would be a golden retriever. I really don't understand your remark as there were not (m)any bad decisions or strange bounces. Gve him the credit he deserves
