Squash: Free Game Friday - Ashour v Shabana - El Gouna 2014

[@petereedy6092]

The artist vs the craftsman -- two of the greatest players of all time -- and great sportsmen -- a joy to watch!

[@baseballgenius3]

Peter Eedy a joy in every way. Obviously the play is great but the sportsmen thing you mention. No arguments, they call their own shots down, just such great guys on court. Never gets old watching them.

[@petereedy6092]

@@baseballgenius3 sad that they have both retired--I'd love to see them playing some exhibition matches

[@azulbkltd9512]

2 great players of their era, not all time!

i guess im randomly asking but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any tricks you can give me

[@phoenixabram1981]

@Aarav Clark instablaster :)

[@lbeyak]

Haha, I always smile at this ending shot with the "sneaky sneaky".

[@SonOfTheDusk]

"Theres putting the ball in the crosscourt nick, and theres putting the ball in the crosscourt nick... now this is putting the ball in the crosscourt nick" XD

[@bruno_dias]

No fist pumps or screams... Just great playing and sportsmanship!

[@jacobeliosoff1264]

The sheer Egyptian-ness of this one brings a smile to my face. Extra points to Shabana for the incredible get at 10:58.

[@craigslinger43]

'There's hitting the cross court nick, then there's hitting the cross court nick, and this, is hitting the cross court nick' - Glad we got that cleared up!

[@kubasniak]

OHHH MY GOD. This audience doesn't even know they see something out of this world (kinda dead). Amazing squash produced by these two. Shabana has a godlike forehand. Such an accuracy and power and those perfect lines. LMAO commentators at 11:50+. YUP! SHABANA IS NOT NORMAL!

[@hayhayeht]

They were talking about Ashour there ^^

[@TheSenseiwong15]

Shabana absolute legend, very technical surgically precise at 34 years of age, reminds me of Jangir.

[@ghawatzhusten3368]

Jahangir was no doubt the greatest squash player of all time. But these two Giants are equally exciting to watch

[@Punz-WaLLaH]

this is Squash at its best

[@headedofftheline]

Really enjoying these FGFs

[@luukgoedhart]

Me too !

[@squashtv]

***** We're glad you're enjoying them, we've enjoyed picking them out and reliving them too!

[@djkevng]

Ramy Ashour......... genius with a squash racket

[@fm1326]

Once there were Jahangir and Jansher then came Shabana and Ashour, two great pairs of players. The game was different the rackets were different then but still it was squash. Demanding as always

[@henrylast8148]

Still enjoying shabana in 2016

[@JAYS040787]

Thats the craziest last point I've seen to win a game. Mr Ashour..

[@afterlife101spirit]

Sneaky sneaky. He was sneaking off, two awesome players.

[@truelandman9336]

Legends !

[@hericodf79]

the best left hand ever

[@石允丰]

back when ramy is healthy... such a joy

[@ashtonauts1843]

At 0:50 Ashour just wanted to show some confidence but Shabana didnt understand this behaviour and copied him either revenging or deliberate repeating the strategy at 0:57 so Shabana should control hi temper

[@chunghosong7904]

What did Joy said at 12:27 ?

[@TheJohnCooper]

Chungho Song immaculately in

[@russell.bishop]

Hahaha that ending was amazing

[@ahmedteeka]

[@chavindarashmika4032]

Nice game

[@shredlin]

Surprised Shabana didn't tear a hammy at 14:25.

[@gnfcom]

this is pure raquet skills

[@matthijs07]

Why was the last ball lucky?

[@slimehound1934]

Matthijs vH it went through his legs! If it had hit him it'd have been a stroke and he'd have lost the point

[@TheJohnCooper]

15:35 surely that’s a stroke if ball goes back through your own legs, independent of where your opponent is.

[@petereedy6092]

Hi John -- no, it's only a stroke if your opponent is in position to hit the ball -- Shabana was certainly not there

[@holamorelia7926]

Hasn't there been #PSA activity lately? It's been a long since this channel uploaded recent events. Or is it that definetly anything is free anymore? Simple doubt; don't feel affronted please.

[@andalusix01]

Hola Morelia It's off-season right now so not many events taking place.

[@holamorelia7926]

+adhamkoura Ah ok. Thanx amigo!

[@squashtv]

Hola Morelia Hi - it is indeed currently the off-season, our next televised event will be the British Grand Prix starting on 11th September. We'll have highlights on this channel and live broadcasts, extended highlights and demand full match replays at www.psaworldtour.com/tv Thanks!

[@holamorelia7926]

+PSA SQUASHTV Thanks, we all enjoy your work

[@solafideit4045]

Whats wrong with Ramys movement to the back, he seems to move differently. backhand always left foot forehand always right foot forced?

[@henrylast8148]

It is so he is quicker back to the T

[@chinyenling1994]

This is actually to see ur opponent easier I think

[@bustertornado5433]

Open stance (left foot on the backhand, right foot on the forehand) gets you to the ball faster because you have less distance to cover, but it's harder to balance so you lose some ball control.

[@ghawatzhusten3368]

Shabana and Ashour are to Egyptian squash as Jahangir and Jansher are to Pakistani game

[@us-Bahn]

Ramy played great no doubt but the number of totally routine drives he clanked into the tin are beyond count.

[@hericodf79]

Did Shabana retire?

[@squashtv]

He did indeed, a couple of years ago.

[@hericodf79]

PSA SQUASHTV ow, Its a Shame!! The best left hand I've seen in action ever 😕

[@KingAssassin68]

15:31 no stroke because?

[@farisjc1]

coldshot Shabana not in position to hit ball

[@lucysmart1476]

Why do they rub their hands up on the glass?

[@gamolly]

emily smart because their hands get quite sweaty from holding the racquet

[@TheHilarious91]

Have been practicing months but cant hit crosscourt nick.. anyone has tips for me?

[@sorivarola]

TheHilarious91 Yes. Keep practicing.

[@frazzledolph]

+TheHilarious91 Watch some videos on youtube, i've seen some videos and they might prove helpful for you. I'd say dont try and hit too hard to begin with, work on getting the right technique first - where you slice the ball and guide it into the nick. Then work on different variations adding pace and from different parts of the court. But first and foremost, check out some videos. P.s. im by no means a coach or anything like that, just how i went about working on hitting cross court nicks myself :)

[@MattMarshallUK]

+TheHilarious91 I'm not certain of this but I think hitting cross court nick is easier for pro mens because the tin is lower. Someone will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong.

[@solafideit4045]

+Matt Marshall who played for Milnerton?

[@MattMarshallUK]

+Solafide IT no, sorry ☺

[@fahedjavaid1]

wow.....the speed the accuracy...thts how ashore burnt himself in quality kiln ...
