1:45 "its like he had a third racket between his legs" lmao

I'll try to explain the rules for you. When you serve you must serve above the middle line into the other side of the court from the service box. After that you only have to hit the ball above the bottom line and below the top line. Players take turns to hit the ball and the ball has to hit the front wall but it can hit one of the other walls first. The ball can only touch the floor once before you hit it and after that it can't touch the floor untill it touches the front wall. I hope this helps

It’s a tradition to watch this every now and then

This is crazy talent.. When you play squash you appreciate these shots

Squash needs more people playing it

8 years later and this is my recommendation. I'm impressed.

I've watched this 15-20 times and I am in awe every single time. Miss Ramy so much !

Who else is watching this despite of not knowing the rules? :D

I have played, coached and refereed Squash for around 50 years (yep, I'm an old fart). In that time, I have had the pleasure of watching many of the greats playing live: Geoff Hunt, Jonah Barrington, Rod Martin and Rod Eyles and the imperious Jansher Khan (but sadly, not Jehangir). Statistically, Jansher and Jehangir are clearly the GOATS ('greatest of all time') of Squash -- followed closely by Hunt, Barrington, Hashim and a few others -- but for me, despite his smaller trophy cabinet (probably attributable to his chronic hamstring problem), Ramy Ashour is probably, in absolute terms, the best player ever (despite me not seeing him play live). Jehangir and Jansher had unbelievable playing and retrieving skills, but Ramy also has those skills, and an additional very important skill -- he sees the ball *very* early and volleys much more than they did (they seemed content to pick many balls off the back wall). Unfortunately, we can't really compare players from different eras properly, but for me Ramy is the GOAT -- even if you disagree with that, you might agree he is the most exciting and entertaining player -- and a great sportsman! BTW -- I'm from Australia, so no rose-coloured glasses here!

we are so lucky to watch Ramy Ashour play, think how the game may never see someone more consistant, talented, and physically and mentally superior then anyone at the same time

Welcome to another round of Why is this in my recommended?

I've been playing for 23 years and I have never seen anyone make the game seem to be so simple... Jeez Ramy can you be more relaxed when you play..... ;-)

Did i really just watched this on a work night at 3:00 AM?

Egypt In Squash Like Brazil In Football .... This Is The Truth

Rami is an immortal legend in the world of squash💯❤

Gosh, Ramy is unbelievable!

OMG that's incredible!!

ramy just nailed it , great player

He is a huge inspiration, to me and to the world. He is a amazing representative for squash, all the players are, and we will be in the Olympics in 2020. Lots of love for squash.

That Egyptian magician, what a legend! The British invented the game and the Egyptians mastered it!

In a class by himself, Ramy is. Even if Willstrop was at full speed, most of those shots would have given him trouble, put him under serious pressure. I play that well sometimes, beating world top players 11-2. Then I wake up.

Started playing squash again, just such a great sport

1:40 that's just brilliant...he's like Roger Federer in Tennis.

Ramy is awesome.

Joey : He's got to win the first game Ramy Ashour : 8 - 0

I think there's one in the description small print for the shop and there are several floating around for SquashTV! Hint: Player codes or SquashXtra...

Get loads of matches from the SquashTV shop and watch at your leisure! :)

First time seeing squash match LOL pretty impressive !!

Unbelievable. The precision is unbelievable.

The era which great players don't wanna any strokes

recommended never fails to impress

Unbelievable squash by the artist

رامي عاشور ابن مصر الي مشرفنا❤️🌺

Best player I've ever seen.....FACT

pretty sure this is the most viewed squash match/game on KZfaq

I had no idea this game was as difficult as it is ~~ I need to play!!!

that look at Malcom's face @3:42 says it all. Ramy is a great gentleman sportsman. he gave away that point to show some respect.

Well let me put it this way. This is the best game of squash I've ever seen him play.

2:22 everyones face while watching this sport lmao

Agreed!

What a great player

If only he played like this in the Allam British Open 2014! (injuries) :(

Great player!

What a magician!!

رامي عاشور أسطورة 😍😍

It's not Ramy's best squash. As good as Wilstrop is, he's simply not in the same league as Ramy. I would nominate Ramy's 2014 El Gouna Classic win over Elshorbagy as some of the best squash ever played. It almost doesn't look like squash anymore--at least not the classic game played by Wilstrop et al.

Bro I was so confused at that first bit, then I realised they were just warming the ball up

he's sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love squash

Something Al mighty Allah blessed Ramay with..... Its simple exclusive art of playing squash.

With James height and Ramy's agility the game seems so easy to play. Step in, step out!

Taking the squash up again brilliant game it is

Increible señoras y señores, es el mejor jugador del mundo. Enh. Ashour

Congratulations on 2 Million views!!

4:39 damn tgis is the best rally ever 👌❤ edit and the next one too 😂❤

Ramy Ashour the GOAT of squash Pakistan no where for last 20 years

Ramys back hand tho is on fire

“Look how flexible he is here the way he arches his back”. Said the commentator with rigor Mortis

I wiki-ed the game like randomly and after reading rules came to youtube to see a practical. Well I think I accidentally watched the best match of the game.

The day squash moved forward from old school to new reality.

more full (and free*) games, please!

Great first game !

absolutely unbelievable

I’m only here cause it was in my maths book

So the rule is that if the ball falls on the ground 2 times u lose point? Can someone explain the rules real quick, and also since they are in this small box isnt it a problem of them blocking eachother movement and vision on the ball

1:44( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Is it me or I just dont get these shots but it looks good, and as an badmiton player people confuse these sports and wow they are very different

Ramy Ashour ♥

Squash is one of the best game in the world. Wish more people knew the importance of this game. If you play other games you remain fit but for squash, you need to be fit first.

Squash's Unhinged Lunatic - Charles Boyle

Awesome game

What an incredible shame Ramy can't stay healthy enough to have performances like this more often. He just skipped HK with an injury, gave up at the World Open with an injury, and retired from the US Open with an injury. And this has been happening for years. If this guy could just stay healthy, I shudder to think of the number of titles he'd have won by now. Hope he can lick this injury bug eventually.

I wish they kept this layout of the court and on the front wall.

You need to take into consideration the outdoor venue will make the ball play deader so coupled with James bring stiff from day before it makes sense it took him 3 mind plus to get going.

thanx and also, the rules are simply ball not hiting the ground twice?

Bring this RAMY Back

what if you hit the other player before the wall?

Ramy knows when to smack and where and when to softly place the ball. James seemed to only just know how to smack during that game.

5:55 I don't know if anyone noticed but the ball bounced twice before Ramy hit it. Is that legal?

goooooooooood ashor

The commentators are really awesome.

It’s easy to play great squash when the ball is played loose all the time and unfortunately a very tired Wilstrop wasn’t able to keep it anywhere near tight enough. The GOAT for me was without a doubt Jahangir. I have seen him play for hours up and down the wall keeping the ball so tight there really was no chance to attack, but I have also seen him play similar games to this. Probably the best game I saw was when things just weren’t working. Instead of getting frustrated, he just shut down those bits of his game and still managed to win comfortably. Unfortunately the 1980’s was probably when we saw squash at its peak and we are unlikely to see same level of talent again as there just isn’t enough players to push people to excel anymore. I’d love to be proved wrong here, but I think its going to take a huge resurgence in popularity to do it, and I can’t see that happening, at least not here in Australia anyway.

Ive watched this three times and still have no idea what is going on. Albeit, I am drunk and only here because I heard of a Lifeguard on the T.V show Bondi Rescue that injured himself playing this. I really just wanted to figure out what this is and as a Canadian, I am absolutely lost 🤣🤣

can anyone explain why 0:54 is a LET and not a STROKE? i'm not arguing the decision or anything just would like to know the technicalities

This is a perfect example of heavy legs after a 90+ minute match the day before. Nonetheless, to beat Willstrop 6 minutes is unheard of.

Mashallah this is true magic

Can't be, just the one nick! ;)

I think Federer would do well at this game with his amazing reflexes and sublime finesse.

How did this get in my stream and why did I just watch the whole thing?

i feel like packing it in after that!!!

the artist ramy ashour with no mercy 😈

@5:56 are two bounces allowed?

Ashour the most exciting squash player ever in my opinion!

the office brought me here

clearly the best!

His best game is against Elshorbagy at the retirement match ❤

Trochę mi jeszcze brakuje... :)

I've seen Jansher and Jahnagir play in their primes, Jahangir I think would struggle today. Jansher's game evolved over the years, and in that way he was the bridge between the 70s/80s and the modern squash. Jansher of the later years (94-97) would hold his own against the current top crop. He was probably a smarter player than Ramy, though Ramy has better racket skills.

The shot of the months are the 11 points Ramy won in this game probably

A best game of squash would involve some sort of challenge to overcome in my opinion
