Well done Diego. Terrible crowd

[@us-Bahn]

What do you expect from a bunch of 9-year olds?

[@Mr.X20117]

It's important to remember that home-court advantage is a common aspect of sports, and it's natural for fans to be more vocal in support of their own player. While it's ideal to show respect for all players, we can also appreciate the passion and loyalty that fans display for their home player/team in any competitive environment.

[@davidhansen1811]

Dear Mr Elias: I don't know if you read KZbin comments much but we met more than 10 years ago in Halifax Nova Scotia and I asked you how your name should be pronounced, for the benefit of our "MC" etc. I have very great joy in knowing that you have won the World Open. My very heartiest congratulations to you. Like Thierry Lincou (who won the tournament in Halifax twice) your first trainer was your own father. You have my deepest and heart-felt congratulations. What a master of the game of squash you have become. Que dia tan maravilloso y tu padre esta muy muy orgulloso. DH

This is the best performance of Elias I have ever seen in a Highlights video. It's a huge achievement to win a match against Farag in his current form. Elias had such consistent ball control on this court. He got his preparation right and his racket setup for this tournament was great for his game. He seemed to have a better sense of his racket feel and balance on the day.

[@jenspoertscheller4314]

Outstanding and really smooth squash from the Puma. Well deserved:)

[@Savz66]

Well done Elias. Love watching these two play!! Horrid to watch a match where the crowd can't support the game of squash as well as their home players. Almost to the point of I'd refuse to play there. It sickens me but maybe I'm alone on this!

In my humble opinion , if squash has to gain worldwide publicity , then matches should be telecasted live in youtube for everyone . The newcomers won't be willing to spend their money to watch matches. This ultimately leads to the lack of fan base for squash.
