Wow this was a brutal game with some great rallies, ibrahim with a massive array of shots,great game a credit to squash👍🥳

Great game from both players 👏

Ahh great to hear my local club (Edinburgh Sports Club) mentioned on the broadcast!

It was an incredible match between these two. At times, Makin appeared to underestimate Ibrahim’s rather high retrieval ability. I appreciate that Makin’s squash is a little cleaner than that of Ibrahim. The refereeing decisions seemed to bias Ibrahim, especially in the last half of the match. Makin relies too much on his insane retrieval ability. I worry about the injury risk. No doubt, In the back of Ibrahim’s mind, he appreciated knowing that Makin was unlikely to play attacking shots.

Oh boy, Ibrahim looks like a real zinger of an opponent.

Good game, Yousef. Keep it up bro

I think Makin needs to learn like Coll that being fit alone doesn’t win matches and sometimes the ability to attack rather than try and neutralise attack with attrition isn’t the way forward. WR10 vs WR17 should be a good game but not 3-1 in favour of the lower rank. Ibrahim did play well though and is an exciting player (love a good left hander!)

Great draw that

That stroke at 7-6 in the 2nd game, what on earth?! I hear the commentators talking about Makin not backing out enough, while the ball is 1.5 meters away from Ibrahim so he's nowhere near the ball to hit it. Why is it important what Makin is or is not doing if the ball is that far away still? How can points be awarded on hypothetical if-thens if the player isn't able to hit the ball from where he's standing?

Why is the word Egypt not written on the glass court??

once agan, refereeing is poor for such a high level event. How many times do the players need to stop play?!

How can reffing be so inconsistent in a single match? A let on one shot is a no let when it happens in the exact same spot the next rally. Bizarre.

Ah the Makin of old, could he not just try some attacking shots instead of endlessly hit down the wall.
