SQUASH. Asal hit in the face, but nobody notices because he didn't stop

In May 2018, Mostafa Asal went on a tour of South America and won three PSA tournaments in 20 days. He was still a junior and went into these events as a qualifier.
Back then, he wasn't always getting along with the refs. (It's gotten better now, belive me).
This clip is frp, Round 1 in the Brasil Open 2018 against top seed, Dimitri Steinmann (3:1 Asal).

So this guy was comedy gold even before tripping on his own leg and demanding a 'let' 🤣🤣🤣

[@squash7days]

Well, his first matches against PSA pros were sometimes longer than needed to be because of discussions with refs etc. :)

[@_glitchy]

he tripped on Fares' leg

[@cscoetzee]

Swing looked a bit excessive, but look where Asal is standing. Right in his swing space, crowding him. Then he complains about being hit afterwards. If he wanted a let or stroke he should have stopped right then. If you keep on playing after being struck it means you accept what happened. If he won the point he wouldn't have made a song and dance about it. Can't believe this guy got to number three in the world but still doesn't understand basic rules.

The swing was alright; Crowding out the opponent’s wasn’t.

[@smca7271]

pretty much his own fault for crowding his opponent,could he get any more in the way.

[@sarahcox2047]

Asal could have been one of the all time greats long term but he's already ruined his chances, his mentors, coaches even parents should be accountable for this. All the talent in the world but humility and respect can't be coached..

[@Hebaahmed-jv5nq]

he is the best squash player in this decade and he will alwayse be .any thing wrong he did is forgottable because he was only a kid !!!

[@sillysod33]

[@shustypl]

Yeah, we love to play with 270° swing guys .

[@markgtownsend]

I’m assuming that’s a penalty hinder - backswing. It is in racquetball.

[@gordoncampbell4706]

Stroke to Steinman due to interference. Conduct warning to Asal for histrionics and delay of game, you're welcome.

[@nomophobe]

So Steinman gets rewarded for hitting his opponent in the face? Lol what? Say what you want about Asal being gobby, that doesn't justify ignoring the fact that he was hit by his opponent

[@zeetee3915]

Hope he will improve his manners (it seems so) Otherwise he stays Mr A$$hole in my eyes..🤷‍♂️

[@producTIMity]

I am the greatest referee ever

[@ngzijian14]

🤣🤣🤣

[@maciejrosik68]

there's nothing wrong with the swing - the racket head was up in the air and it seems that asal wasn't hit by the racket but by stainman hand. Actually i would award stainman a point in that situation

[@uglymandarronson9838]

With his Anger issues, and clearly no idea about the rules, his obvious talent is wasted

[@sandralelievre9445]

Oh mann this guy hs become the joke of comedy squash, intertaining

[@davidsnape9643]

Quite accidental, if anyone is at fault its Asal for crowding the swing. Asal is now deliberately hitting and grabbing opponents on a regular basis. This guy needs to learn some proper court etticate

[@mooboo6603]

Conduct match, ban Asal for faking face contact. And for being a nasty narcissist. Nobody likes Asal.

[@thomasgjerde]

So he has always been like this

[@stephanelavoie2258]

Ahhhh he was annoying even younger 😀😂🤣

[@dontwatchdotorg]

Dude what? He got smacked in the face and played on, and you're calling him annoying? I guarantee if he was the one who hit someone else, you'd be criticizing him and not the victim of his swing

[@keithmurphy9358]

It's not nobody noticed, it's nobody cared

[@nwelch1001]

The dude’s mentally ill

[@petrkopecky1918]

Asal 🤮🤮🤮
