Case Swedish Open 2014 - Final Roundup Ashour v Matthew

[@Galimah]

whoaa the game have evolved so much since the Khan-era´s. fascinating sport! Should be an olympic event

[@jms493]

Deserving win for Nick M. Congrats. That was some fantastic squash there.

[@jslute]

I like watching these two play. Keep it comin. Thanks

If Ramy had stayed healthy his entire career, we would be talking about him in the same breath as Jahangir and Jansher, that's how talented he was. Unfortunately, injuries were his curse. One of the saddest things in the history of sports IMO.

[@nitinkapoor4752]

I had the pleasure of meeting Ramy when he visited squash-academy I play at… we had a good 2 hour dinner with him and 2 other adults and some 10-12 kids(both my sons were there). He had already retired by then. I asked him about of of the games after he came back from injury..he laughed ‘Which one because I have always been coming back from injury.) A very nice relaxed kid(well he is 16years younger)… and intelligent too. He had very specific ideas on how to make squash more popular.

[@mikbod1]

I am with no doubt a fan of Ramy!! But Matthew has improved a lot and even though Ramy has been injured, then I actually think taht Matthew is reaching a very high level!! He is starting to become a complete player! I think that he deserved this tournament victory!

[@SergeiFedorov77]

Ramy is back. He got to the final in his first tournament for about 3 months (something like that). Looking forward to his next tournament and that he'll be back in Sweden next year.

[@DanjerusThyme]

The pace of the first set is unreal, the entire match had me saying 'oh my god' out loud so many times. Incredible match

[@oliverkerr5620]

Blue Feijoa 92 this isn’t tennis it’s squash please don’t say set

[@andrewswinglehurst8102]

Awesome squash the retrievals on some shots was quite brilliant. Great watch

[@doosungv]

Matthew has great recover so he likes shield, but Ramy is spear.. During last years, Ramy was sufferd by hamstring, while Matthew has been more sturdy shield than ever.... I really look forward to seeing their match where their condition're 100% I thought whoever win a game, I really like top 10 players... Because time is so fast.. then we don't see their plays.. every match deserve treasure...

[@mohammedzayed7943]

we egyptian love squash

[@pavolhomola77]

Congrats to Nick, he deserved the victory, I´m especially glad that he succeeded against Ramy, where he had some problems in the past. Great achievement after the lost 1st set - here a proof of Nick´s mental strength. Once again - great to see such a balanced level of the top 10 players, I´m sick of glorifying one or another player - nobody is perfect, there is no "best" player nowadays, no dominance (like in the Khan´s time) and that is good!

[@marcoscampos1110]

what a match man ! two monsters

[@calleescanchas]

Nick congratulation you still the best

[@jumustube]

No he isn't.

[@sebulban]

I wonder how dominant he would’ve been with a healthy hamstring. Such a big talent and hugely missed on tour

[@letuwin]

Sad, i love ramy...

[@jimmyslums]

Great match. Hard to ref with retrieving like that.

[@duelmasterblaze4106]

Ramy only done 2 tournaments this year.. If he wins world champion, would be sick

[@TeeArOo]

Bloody mouth breather ruined it

[@Harry-fc5qd]

Ramy would have been by far the best player, greatest player ever, had injury not brought his carrier to an early end.!!!

[@fanatamon]

Mathews like Ramy, good players its a shame to have them retire.

[@smileycanada13]

Just getting into the game here, why do they touch the glass every time they finish a point?

[@squashtv]

+smileycanada13 They're wiping the sweat off their hands so that it doesn't ruin their grip

[@bigwing2437]

smileycanada13 to wipe the sweat off their palms

[@us-Bahn]

It’s also a grounding mechanism that helps the psyche connect with physical reality.

[@calleescanchas]

The best game

[@hoogblondbier]

Why do they 'rub' the walls with their arms in between rallies?

[@jcabadia]

To dry your hands from the sweat. They get sweaty and slippery and the grips slick, so in between points we rub our hands against the walls to dry them up

[@hoogblondbier]

Juan Carlos Abadia Thanks!

[@apt981]

Heavy breather lol

[@ghawatzhusten3368]

Matthew the machine But why is the commentators so high before Matt gets a stroke in the end. It is as if he's won the match

[@chankicho]

6:03 Ramy grimaces while his moving backward to the T, then he walks little bit awkwardly for a few seconds, doesn't he? I think he's not fully recovered from the injury. It is almost impossible to beat Ramy in 100% condition, but it seems like that he will suffer from the injury all through his remaining career... :(

[@pavolhomola77]

This is the problem of nowadays superhero mentality being nourished by the media. Take Federer - he was also considered to be unbeatable in 100% condition - yet Nadal and Djokovic found a way how to beat him. Ramy is definitely beatable. Of course he is talented, of course he is playing a top notch game, but so do another players. There are new players coming - e.g. Shorbagy - I bet in a year or two he will be able to beat Ramy regardless what his condition will be. It is simply illusory to say that a particular player is almost impossibly to beat - but from psychological point of view it is understandable. Men need idols and leaders.

[@calleescanchas]

Juego estelar

[@mohamedhesham1627]

Ramy is the best

[@fanatamon]

Yeh but not in this match.

[@ellmatic]

Everything is "ridiculous" with this stupid commentator. If you're going to have that job, expand your vocabulary!

[@fanatamon]

Totally.

[@lewininja250r]

Ramy needs to stop faking injuries

[@duelmasterblaze4106]

He isn't.. 😂😂 check his Instagram

[@us-Bahn]

Ramy isn’t totally accustomed to losing.
