Gawad is astounding - he has the movement of a cat, the mind of a chess player and the touch of an artist ❤😊🎉

[@hanaaali7025]

Best precise and well formed descriptions fir Gawad

[@barni42]

Two great players, could watch them all day. Better than suffering the antics of Asal. He could learn a lot about squash watching these two.

[@user-bu3sz4tc8u]

This match heals my pain after watching Asal vs. Hesham

[@benjisurya]

indeed...

[@zalkers]

During his injury period, nearly forget how good he is! Glad to have Gawad back to squash !!! Movement like fluid !

[@firstwavenegativity6379]

So glad to have Gawad back, when he's at his best, he has the most beautiful squash I've ever seen

[@alexlawson3833]

Gawad looked totally unplayable here. He made the world no 1 look mediocre. It felt like he never gave Elias the opportunity to build any momentum in this match. Hope he wins the whole thing. Great to see him back

[@admyre]

He used to make even the great Greg Gaultier and Ramy Ashour look awkward

[@networkn]

That's exactly the right description. Unplayable. amazing

[@na8ma2]

Unstoppable

[@dallasreid7755]

I've never seen Gawad that good. He is such a lovely player and a gentleman. Very happy to see him beat Elias.

[@mellowmonsoon278]

Sqaush is interesting again with Gawad's return ❤

[@georgekrumm1857]

That counterattack by Gawad at 8:39 has got to be shot of the month. Tense moment in the match, incredible rally, and an absolutely perfect execution off of a decent attack from Elias.

[@ddboy123ful]

Agreed!

[@FinancialFreebo]

I agree, but.... if he so much as touches the ball on the initial attempt, its over. He had good fortune 3-4 times in this match, which may have made some difference, but 3 games straight is convincing!!! Glad to see his talent back!!!

[@inqurious]

agreed! happened so fast you can almost miss it. Need to see that in super slowmo

[@philgarrett5498]

Awesome to see Gawad back near the top. He has such a sublime mix of power and touch. Keep going Karim!!

[@mdemergentcare-urgentcarec1371]

best skill current palyer.may Allah bless him this trophy

[@Arbyofuchprawnage]

When Gawad is on form and fired up then he is almost unbeatable, Its so good to see him playing again after the injuries.

[@jadeyork4919]

Gawad, the most gifted player since Ramy Ashour ❤

[@magedhafez5176]

happy for Gawad. The crowd warmly congratulated his win

[@nickyork8901]

That was exceptional squash - looking forward to seeing him in the next stage. He doesn't look that athletic, but he moves incredibly fast, absolutely took Elias apart, which is hard to imagine.

[@PaulMarshall]

What great play by Gawad!

[@user-ud7fx6nd6x]

Gawad is amazing!!!

[@mohamedsheik4589]

Gawad has always been a great player

[@adambarrowcliff3819]

To do this to Elias, with how he's playing right now... and Gawad with a long lay off ... is simply astounding! What an absolute hero of the game

[@neilhansen49]

Gawad on Fire!!!

[@marcoscampos1110]

a pleasure to see Gawad on top again

[@ozeyris]

I am recovering from an achilles tendon rupture. Seeing Gawad play like this is motivating me to get back to squash.

[@MW-od5wp]

Gawad is the Federer of squash. He makes the very difficult look easy and elegant. I really like Elias too but was pleased to see Gawad win this one.

[@hanaaali7025]

This is really superb Gawad …what a wonderful player 💪💪💪💪💪

[@kaykay-rw5xi]

KG is back!!! when you taxi the world no. 1 then you’re damn good

[@sash4593]

The most beautiful player to watch

[@siddharthsahu4437]

8:35 that cross was amazing

[@Timmym33]

Gawad is back with a bang. Let him entertain you.

[@ReallyGhey]

Proper squash that was. Gawad absolutely murdering. Brilliant

[@mfonlyfans]

Thats completely wild. Excellent stuff from both!

[@tomsmock7674]

What a pleasure to watch… for a novice like myself. What a great sport you have.

[@gautamanyt]

Gawad is going great guns. There wasn’t a ball he didn’t hit well. GO GAWAD GO

[@ashutoshpatel4988]

Gawad, the most gifted player since Ramy Ashour. Best stroke maker since Ashour. I hope he wins the championship. He should definitely win against Elshorbagy.

[@Wesselvanwyk]

such a pleasure to watch!!

[@pagoteras2630]

Congratulation to gawad , he is very good player.

[@amoscraig2227]

Gawad is back baby!!

[@ewallt]

Something I notice Gawad does is he’s careful to make every shot opportunity a multiple threat, which is difficult to play against. It’s hard to relax. For example, many squash players, almost all, set up in the back court for the forehand in such a way that it’s clear they’re going to hit a cross court. Gawad sets up in such a way that he can go either down the line or cross court. That’s one example, but every shot is like that. He’d be exhausting to play against.

[@ewallt]

Jahangir Khan is another that comes to mind. I asked a pro, my age, so old, who the most difficult opponent he faced, and he said Jehangir. I asked why, and he said “He was always square to the ball.” Being square to the ball gives you lots of options.

[@Orbituation]

Tbh I really don't see that. If we're just talking about deep forehand setup, all the pros in top 200 can do a micro-adjustment with their wrist right before contact to go either cross or straight. Gawad's most devastating shot by far is the high preparation backhand drop, which is almost unreadable. But everything else I don't think it's super deceptive, it's just his incredible skill level and having multiple shot options at key positions on the court.

[@brettwener5946]

Some of the best squash i have ever seen ❤

[@andredejongh1411]

My Hero Gawad!!! 🎉❤😊

[@Hellrun]

So happy to see Gawad back, and in this form no less!

[@SergeiFedorov77]

This is just mindblowing...the quality, the entertainment...!!

[@carlyayling3729]

Fabulous game, and excellent commentating to boot - thoroughly enjoyed the whole match!

[@networkn]

that was not the result I expected but was totally deserved. So nice to see Gawad playing so, so well. The only thing harder than getting to world number one right now? Staying there.

[@cookesam6]

That deadly length that doesn't come back off the back wall... gawad hits that type of shot perfectly, much more than anyone else

[@stevehughes1510]

Great game, what a good win for Gawad, he's looking lethal.

[@shahg25]

Two of my fav players style wise.

[@drfrosti]

Brilliant!

[@richardyoung5201]

Gawad......The re birth of Shabana 🙌🏻

[@Orbituation]

He doesn't have to live in Shabana's shadow, he can create his own legacy. Some of his plays and shots (eg. high prep backhand drop) he's really made his own.

[@dennishorsthuis1507]

So Glad for Gawad 🎉

[@fern6114]

Very good, thanks for the fairness

[@Engmazzouz]

What a match! I wished I could like it 1000 times.

[@magedhafez5176]

looking forward to Gawad vs Shorbagy match. they definitely have special competition between them

[@hamzatatta952]

When baby face plus like this there is no one better great to see him back

[@adrianprince6064]

Gawad was brilliant in how he outplayed the Puma, I've forgotten how good he can be when he last won the World title as I haven't seen him play like this for a while.

[@nwbssj1759]

The real Gawad

[@garthsmith6609]

Excellent squash

[@faresramadan8213]

Karim abdelgawad is playing an unbelievable squash

[@inqurious]

insane. Both playing at world #1 levels. Only a shame we didn't get 5 games of this.

[@MarciOlii]

Wow!

[@wackaflack1990]

GAWAD TO WORLD NUMBER ONE

[@philgarrett5498]

Let's hope so

[@Marktb363]

Amazing touch! 🙂

[@hamacWay]

ALL HAIL THE ROYAL ASSASSIN!!!

[@alexzanderking1556]

Gawad is on fire

[@MrOgunseyinde]

GAWAD is BACK !

[@chessdaddy0720]

Happy for Gawad to go all the way

[@eoincoleman4537]

I refused to get my hopes up when Gawad came back, so many players coming back from a massive injury like that can be a shadow of their former self. But he's picked up right where he left off, dismantling everyone around him.

[@sebastiandesign5216]

There is only one Gawad!!

[@dimaodd]

his relaxed length is just killing Elias

[@ghawatzhusten3368]

Never saw gawad snarl like that as he did at the end

[@hugonam8839]

Hope Gawad would be the champion even though I like Farag also.

[@Adelewxyz]

❤❤❤

[@andreasschabort2449]

Elias looked a bit flat and unmotivated recently.

[@stevehughes1510]

6.25 how did he read that shot from Diego !!

[@writersden1876]

Only gaultier could stop gawad's beast mode

[@muhammedmaged8296]

it was all about counter dropping

[@Saranshpitti]

The venue has too much Echo. Shots sound good!

[@tyanmutter1437]

Wow

[@nitithornsuwannasat3423]

Gawad is strongly back to business

[@jhwheuer]

So Simon has been replaced with Diego.

[@Jackiecon]

Spoiler Block!

[@paulmac1472]

The commentators sound like they need to change their underwear.

[@jegford]

I can't be the only one who finds Joey's shouting and screaming so irritating and juvenile

[@benjisurya]

my 2 favorite players!!
