Not The Tournament I Was Hoping For...|| Hong Kong 🇭🇰

Curtis got a late entry into the Hong Kong Open 2023. After flying back from Singapore the week before, he then had to play league games in England on the Monday and Dutch League on the Wednesday. The following day he flew out to Hong Kong for another Platinum event.
Find out how he gets on against a top ranked player and what it's like having a big squash event in Hong Kong! This is the final tournament of 2023 before a small break and then into the new year

Love the honesty, tough to choke down those results 🫤 there will be some good in there somewhere 🤞

[@teammaliksquash]

It sure is! Massive highs and lows involved within this sport

[@teammaliksquash]

For sure. Thank you!

Like the honesty of the video. The dislike of losing is what will make you come back stronger in 2024 💪🏼💪🏼🍣

[@teammaliksquash]

Thank you 💪 That's the plan

[@jmuirhead100]

So interesting to see your pre match routine and the stretches you find helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@teammaliksquash]

Glad you found it of use. You're welcome

Hong Kong is best place for Squash i love HK

[@teammaliksquash]

It certainly is great out there!

[@noahduckworth2974]

Great video mate, shows a fantastic insight to what life is like at the top end of the pro tour I'm glad your getting into these big events. I'm very surprised you had to sort out your own transfers from the airport to the hotel, you would of thought the tournament organiser would have this covered for all the players. But I guess it depends on the event organiser. Iker is a quality player with very a unique style so no shame in losing their. I know it's frustrating going all that way to Hong Kong and losing fist round but your on the way up and that's all that matters. 💯

[@teammaliksquash]

Yeah most big events will have transportation sorted but this journey is about 45mins by car so they leave the players to it. Getting more and more experienced playing the top 20 and learning loads each time, so I just need to implement that in my training. Thanks mate

[@jfhjadfsjhkldsfhjk]

love your videos, really show what its like to be a PSA player

[@teammaliksquash]

Thank you! Can be very tough both mentally and physically at times but at the same time rewarding

[@Tom_1d4sr]

Keep going 💪 use that disappointment for motivation.

[@teammaliksquash]

I definitely will be, thank you

[@jamesnewton5424]

I can't believe you wil be world ranked 45 tomorrow

[@teammaliksquash]

Slowly getting up there. Thanks James 💪

[@iariag1]

well done Curtis, did you say you'll be at the tournament of champions?? you'll get your first major throphy there😊

[@teammaliksquash]

@@iariag1 Yes I will be there in the middle of January 💪Will train hard over Xmas to be ready

[@drtonytom5]

I really like your videos. Can you make a video just about stretching exercises? It would be really helpful.

[@teammaliksquash]

Yes I can do something like that at some point
