“You Can’t Write It” | Farag v Coll | Optasia Championships 2024

[@captainzork6109]

19:14 look at that deception!

[@Skimbledimble]

Didn't like that first decision. Coll had not moved back to the T, he was a meter off of it, just Infront of where Farag needed to go if he was to pick that ball up. Really feels like a let.

[@georgekrumm1857]

The interference was primarily caused by the fact that Farag took an indirect line to the ball: he went the wrong way or froze initially, and then had to cut back on a line deeper in the court than usual to try to recover. Coll provided a direct line in front of him to retrieve that ball from the T. Therefore as long as Coll makes a full effort to continue to provide access, i.e. he does what he reasonably can to adjust for Farag's indirect line, then a no let is the correct decision. This is similar to the scenario that comes up more often when someone gets fooled by a trickle boast. It's a no let unless the person who hit it didn't provide a direct line from the T (hit it back at themselves) or doesn't continue to try to get out of the way.

Coll looked very pale

[@Skimbledimble]

''coll gives him the let'' Why didn't the ref give it!? he hit it straight down the centre into his head 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@FinancialFreebo]

Coll had to try and flip the ball back to the front wall very close to the back wall and off of his back foot. After getting "tapped" with the ball Farag looks back with a bit of frustration at Coll. Well, he was standing dead in line to the front wall. That is exactly why the ref called a stroke.

[@SaltyDingleberry3000]

It's a pretty standard stroke

Paul coll won in 5.

​@@mohamedabbas2443 Farag still got to eat in the evenings and drink water during the day, so he wasn't fasting entirely the way many people try to make it sound. Paul still won a fair victory.

The two most boring players to ever play the sport

[@MGill-np6kz]

Technical perfection is sometimes a bit boring. But it is also to be appreciated. What makes these guys great ? Good movement. Good patience. Good consistency. Many with tiktok brains cannot appreciate this art form.

[@SaltyDingleberry3000]

@@MGill-np6kzeh. Who cares. Sports are there for entertainment. These players are bland af. Think Shabana, Gaultier, Ramy, Jonathan power, Anthony rickets, Mo El, Gawad …. All exciting to watch. Farag and sUpErMaN. …. Fucking snoozefest.

@@SaltyDingleberry3000 you should get your gov mandated vaccines. That will probably solve your problem. You won't have to worry anymore.

[@stevehughes1510]

@@SaltyDingleberry3000 There are degrees of prowess in the sport and you could say that these two look relatively mundane compared to the others, however they are #1 and 2 in the world and their style of play when they play each other is mostly attritional, when they play other opponents it can be and mostly is dynamic.
