Ramy's retirement is the saddest day in squash this century. He had so much left to give on court!

Ramy is my all-time favourite player!! thank you for uploading this gem!

Ramy Ashour = the Hendrix of Squash. Outstanding talent, effortless brilliance, and humble too. 👏🏼

Love seeing john's huge wind up for his backhand and the subsequent missile, must be the hardest hit backhands on the tour.

Ramy Ashour -- fresh out of junior ranks and playing like that against a *very* capable John White (no matter that White is in his early 30s)! As one of the commentators said at the end "I think he [Ashour] is another JK" (Jahangir/Jansher Khan). As an ancient Squash player, I've had the good fortune to see many of the the greats playing live (and here on SquashTV) -- such as Geoff Hunt, Jonah Barrington, Qamar Zaman, Rod Martin, Rod Eyles, John White and Jansher Khan (but, sadly, not Jahangir) I know it's blasphemous to say this, but I rate Ramy above the great JKs -- he has their skill, speed, court movement and tactics, but for me the big difference is his astonishingly quick hands. Watch videos of the JKs, and see them take many balls off the back wall -- not so Ramy, who will volley his opponents screaming shots with his 'magic wand', and still play a tight shot. What a tragedy that his chronic hamstring problem prevented him winning more tournaments -- when he is uninjured and match fit, he makes many of his contemporaries look second-rate. On top of all that, he is very entertaining to watch and a fine sportsman -- a credit to the game!

10 years later and the boy became a legend

Ramy just changed the nature of modern squash, what a legend! How many winners in the first set -- that's just unfair. He comes off the block with all those knicks, showing no nerves at all!

The camera quality is excellent for that time. The ball is easily seen every second of the match.

Interesting to hear commentators lauding this kid and now knowing they were right..... and the best thing about Ramy seemed to be that he was so pleased to be playing. He looked to manage total concentration with total contentment; the brightest star of squash ever.

Thank you for adding this game to the great compilation of great Squash. To think this game took place ten years ago & we have witnessed the rise of Ramy Ashour & the incredible skill & talent that he has displayed. Both great players

Thank God for the new commentators

Mesmerising squash by these 2 legends.

Thank you for this, keep them coming !!!

Its a treat to watch RA, rightly said he is very close to the style of Jansher K. Very relaxed and effortless.

John white such a one dimensional loose game but obviously great athlete. Army being fed those cross courts eat that stuff up all day.

15:14 What a point!!!, SOTM back in 2007??

If u look at Johnny whites playing style u'll see that Ramy plays almost exactly like his predecessor. I'd say Ramy modeled his swing and shot making after White. Even his movement and preparation from the backhand back court is almost exactly the same

Remember John playing on a Tournament wich I organised in 97 He was there with another australian joung player do no more remember the name Very friendly and taff guys in Luxembourg 😎👍🍺🇱🇺

Why did John White keep hitting the ball out of the court? Seems pretty disrespectful to me

Love hearing the commentators in the beginning! "The young Egyptian" and Ramy just killing White in the first points:-) Ramy, my all time favorite!!!!

25:08 is the big one!

Well deserved warning, that's not a professional attitude and it's even worse coming from an old player. And Ramy just being Ramy even at that age, awsome

Ramy Ashour is just amazing!

Johnny White, one of my faves! And he gets in some great shots - not just his usual bullets but also those feathery backhand drops. But Ramy's reflex volleys in that first game, yikes. Real phenom stuff. Stark contrast too with the previous Power-Ricketts match with its multi-minute rallies. This has to be one of the least attritional matches I've ever seen (at least in terms of the length of the points - not the intensity!).

Is that Omneya Abdel Kawy at 16:44?

With this two inch lower tin and these huge rackets, I can only imagine jansher and jhangir winning against opponets in minutes. I mean the two inches lowering of that tin makes a huge diffrence. It almost makes lower pickup impossible. And hitting winners easier. Back then you just can not go that lower from that far. Some youngsters think these guys would be able to compete those greats must kidding.

Who is that kid? he's good. :)

25:25 in. Play the ball!

Does anyone know what racquet ashour was using in this match?

John White just dishing out corkscrews for dinner

"as a coach there's nothing I could say to John White". Well surely you're a crap coach then? This game shows the start of the new great era of squash vs the last generation. John White was fun to watch but really low accuracy and consistency. Ramy and the new generation have speed accuracy and invention. Its a much more deadly combo.

I find John White disrespectful and angry, and out of his league on that court.

What's up with John White hitting the ball out of court the whole time? What a poor attitude, especially from a mature player.

Don't get me wrong - I'd actually always liked John White, but after I watched this, all I can say is: "A so-called squash great plays a TRUE all-time squash great!" Ramy Ashour NEVER disrespected younger talented players like that. What a disgrace you are John Wallop-the-Ball (let's say) White (for lack of another suitable colour to describe a fading star and annoying brat! Still better than Nick Matthew, though, if that makes things any better)...!

Ramy always fakely modest he rarely stay on court very long when he loses though
