Man I love watching Hesham play. He has come so far in his character and his hard work is really paying off. I can see the need for the break in game 4, but if there's anything he needs to work on it's his consistency. Great match !! A fantastic showcase of the finesse of this game we all love.

[@michaelmoore6287]

What a match. Two of the nicest and most honest guys on tour

[@networkn]

What a match! What a win. 2 truly classy displays. What a gesture by Hesham and absolutely the right thing to do.

[@oscarrojas596]

Pure Squash!!! Two of my favorite players!!!

[@squash4life908]

Class from Hesham this match

[@johnho6954]

amazing match, praying that hesham wins it all

[@gamolly]

Mazen's celebration with his friend hyped me!

[@andredejongh1411]

Woehooooee....congrats Hesham!!! Love to see you play!!! Love your sportsmanship..... your Time has come! 🎉😊❤

[@fern6114]

Unbelievable what a great sport and 2 great sportsmen!!

[@SergeiFedorov77]

Wow!!! Such great players it's mind boggling! So happy for Hesham, he sure has some outstanding talent. Obviously, Farag is an absolute top class player as well, too bad there can't be two winners in a match!

[@PrashanthRaoNDZ]

A fully fit Farag would still beat Hesham at his best. Still he did great in this match to have defeated him nonetheless.

[@artakbagdasaryan5392]

Great match! Hesham fully deserved it! I’m so happy for him!

[@poorusher]

What an absolute joy. And Barrington at the end with the 'twizzle', a delight.

[@drumtuningworkshops5751]

Another inspiring great game of squash ❤

[@hamacWay]

HES DONE IT ♥♥♥ 2 winners on court, what a time to be alive

[@rodeolo1]

Epic match from epic champions, first time to witness Hisham beating Ali...sensational

Amazing match

[@C4Par1]

Hesham played exceptionally well, I love his play style.

[@dennishorsthuis1507]

So Cool! Farag rolls over for no One… Get better Soon😊

[@nitinkapoor4752]

Wow…great match.

[@fanatamon]

Jeez thats a solid game.

[@stevehughes1510]

What a marathon, well done Hesham.

[@Ajudge9]

Love seeing hesham get to the level of his ability. Always very talented but couldn’t string the wins together. Amazing win!

[@foreverhary]

I think it will take time for Farag to come back in his original form but nice play though!

[@user-ow8uu4cf7o]

🎉🎉

[@cookesam6]

It has been a long time since hesham has beaten farag...! He's playing really well lately, looks like farags still getting back into things. He will rise again.

[@redissus3533]

YALLAH HESHAM 🎉🎉

[@abidfarooqui4899]

wow

[@brianoconnor2623]

“Something parkie could never do”. Simon Parke had often no choice when he played Jansher who more often than not had him on a piece of string. 😂

[@paulm597]

Ball at 2:45 was 100% double after slowing down video

[@IbadAFulaylee]

Nopes, was good. Just watched it on slow-mo.

[@kennyg1358]

A let was fair play.

[@simonburrows240]

Hasham always had this result in him. He can't win championships constantly playing 3 wall boast nicks. But he can playing like this.

[@jhwheuer]

Saw two bounces, too.

[@mohamedsheik4589]

Farag not at full recovery as yet, full credit to mazen for his performance

[@mikehardwicke23]

What is J Barrington on?

[@jicholasyt5084]

At 0:57 I understand why the decision was given this way in the video review, but the outcome is wrong. If you slow it down, you can see that the ball actually bounced off of Farag's leg, which means that the ball must of been going down, and wouldn't of reached the front wall. In this situation the correct decision should be a no let as the ball wouldn't of reached the front wall anyway. I know it looks like it bounced of Farag's racquet other than his leg, which potentially justifies the decision and I accept their explanation for it, but there should be a way to see what happened more clearly so confusion like this doesn't occur in the future. Even in the replay, you can see that Farag is the one asking for a review and adamant it was down as he knows it hit his leg.

한포인트에 연연하지 않는 순수한 운동정신이 놀랍습니다. 히샴 응원합니다.

[@filda2005]

This Hesham kid is pretty fast. Prolly the fastest one in PSA now. Curious how much cafe is in his sugar.

[@simos11]

Dream final: Karim vs Mazen

[@lrca5675]

i hope no spectators are afraid of the dark...

[@ZeeShaanJamal]

calm down Joey, speakers are taking a hit - RIP headphone users PS: Commentators' bias shouldn't be THIS obvious

[@ahmedmoosa2001]

What a goid match...spoiled by the lunatic screams and hyena laughing Joey..thats why squash will not be in the Olympics...psa needs more professionalism at every level 😢

[@laxitaxi6008]

I think Simon Parke is a very good commentator tho

[@ahmedmoosa2001]

@@laxitaxi6008 any1 but Joey

[@gamolly]

What bias?

[@ddboy123ful]

Meh i don't mind Joey - he brings some excitement to the games. But, he definetly needs to be accompanied by someone more "professional" to balance him out (e.g., PJ, Parke)

[@Fe_de_ri_co]

The PSA must consider accept players whose skills in the court are so ridiculous. The way that Hesham hit the ball it´s all about no squash, may be cricket or any other sport.
