I hope that the kids in the audience took notice of Asal's behaviour. In the final in front of his home crowd he kept up the sportsmanship to the highest level, and accepted his defeat. Well done Mr. Asal, you have grown in a way that many people probably didn't think was possible.

No applause from the crowd when Elias wins 😮

Diego only dropped 1 game in the whole tournament! And it was against Ali Farag 👏

Elias you star! Great match. To the Egyptian crowd : pahaha 😂

BEAUTIFUL to hear the silence of the Egytpian crowd as Asal hits the tin, even more GRATEFUL to hear Diego screaming vamos as he wins the tournament 🎉🎉

As an Egyptian, I cannot be any more happy for Diego. Well played, one of the most talented players. Tough crowd, but you made it through, Congratulations :D

Felicitaciones Diego...el Perú está orgulloso de ti, te darán los laurales deportivos, tu nombre estará en el estadio nacional, y todas la generaciones te recordarán.

They should stop holding the matches in Egypt. The crowd is a real disgrace😢😢

Asal just left his a-hole mode behind when he acknowledged the back wall nick double.

Great play from Elias. Not only stepped up his gameplay, but also the physical "pain" he's willing to take to go for the win. Kept his head cool as well, so I think this tournament is a big marker in his career.👌 Congrats to Asal well, showing what he's capable of without the need of crossing lines. 👍 Hope they both can keep this level of play up! 💪

So happy Elias won. I actually give Asal a lot of credit, his demeanor on court is way better than it used to be. Still not a fan of him but he’s much more watchable most of the time. But that crowd… I’ve never been rooting so hard against a crowd.

Congratulations Diego Elias. Fantastic tournament. Very well deserved.

Felicidades Diego…eres un guerrero!

Kudos to Asal for approaching Elias, shaking hands and appreciating him. True legend and great sportsmanship spirit 🙌🙌

Amazing match, good to see these two shaking hands

Egyptian crowds are the worst: blowing a whistle and not applauding Elias for his win. So happy to see Diego take this one.

My God that was such a satisfying win 😅 9-10: insanely long rally, with collisions and dives 10 all: backwall nick ace 11-10: opponent hits tin

Congrats Elias!!!🎉

I was wrong. I thought that in front of an Egyptian crowd, defending the world championship, with a ref who was surely under tremendous pressure to deliver, Asal would revert to form when the match was on the line. But he didn't. That was the most rhythmic, free-flowing match I've ever seen between those two, with them gliding around and deliberately avoiding each other. It was exactly how you want this game to be played. I doubt he'll ever see this, but I misjudged you, Mostafa. You won this event more than you ever did before and we'll be lucky to have you on the tour for the next decade or more.

The perseverance from both players is amazing

Congratulations Diego. You really really showed the world what you're capable of..

amazing performance by Elias, his retrievals and overall fitness level are completely insane. So happy for him!

Congratulations, Elias. What a set of amazing performances. The best he's ever played, in my opinion.

Asal has done an impressive 180 IRO sportsmanship, big respect.

Horrible unsportsmanlike crowd in Egypt.

Vamos Perú 🇵🇪 carajo. Eres grande Diego... bien merecido ser el nuevo campeón mundial!!! Merecías esos aplausos pero bueno, los que no escuchaste en el evento lo escucharás cuando vengas al país

Great to see Elias get revenge on Asal. Although Asal has matured a lot since his early heated battles with Asal

CONGRATULATIONS DIEGO! YOU DESERVED IT!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Orgullo del Perú!!

Egyptian crowd an absolute disgrace

Gracias Diego, vamos Perú 💪.

Grande Diego, una gran alegría para el Perú

A deserved (if strange) victory for Elias in front of a ridiculously partisan crowd. Kudos also to Asal for showing humility in defeat, which shows maturity. If his humility one day matches his strength and skillset, he'll be a world-champion for sure.

I still feel Asal's movement off the ball puts his opponent constantly at a disadvantage; so it was fantastic play from Elías.

The crowd shots and sidewall shots are more stable than the main court shot. Brutal.

As an Egyptian that attended last season’s world tour finals between these two phenomenal players, i can tell you that the 99% of the crowd will cheer for their homeboy, That is understandable and loyal and all But the problem i faced while speaking with some of them is that they wouldnt even clap for Elias if he won, and that i believe we as egyptians should improve and be more like asal himself, better sportsmanship, better games, overall happier sport, and after all, we’re here to have fun

Peru's Elias swept the floor with all his opponents. Grand Champion.

Incredible performance from Diego. He studied all his opponents , the way they play, they way they think, as if he is telling them how to play and where to play. Very well deserved.

Viva el Perú! 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪❤️❤️❤️

Bien hecho Elías, felicidades!.

BIG BIG EALIAS FROM PERU

Great Eliaaaaaassssss !!!! Big hug from Brazil

Felicidades Elías

AND THE CROWD GOES WILD😂- Makes the victory even sweeter for Elias. What happened to sportsmanship??

Massive congratulations to Elias!!!! Thoroughly deserved. Total class!!!! Brilliant, smooth, fabulous player!!!!

Really love watching Elias. Even against less mature players. Hope he stays healthy, and he can Power through everyone!

Amazing - equal congratulations to both Diego and Asal. Diego for finally realizing that sometimes you have to be prepared to "die" on the court and to Asal for evolving from a spoiled brat into a true squash statesman and ambassador along with Diego. The sincerity that he congratulated Diego with was totally real and genuine. I can't wait for their next matches.

Congrats to Elias on such an achievement! I feel he did have an advantage over Asal, simply because of the late running of the prior rounds matches. It would be extremely unlikely that Asal had an ideal preparation for this match. I was disappointed to see some of Asals bad behavior starting to reappear. To his credit though, he was genuinely congratulatory of Elias.

Well done Elias. Great rally construction (some might call it cumulative pressure) and effortless movement👌. I personally really love this style of squash. On a side note, am I the only one at 4.15 who isn't convinced by the slowmo that the ball bounced twice before Asal got his racquet to it ?

Congratulations to Elias👍👍 But what’s wrong with this crowd??

The Egyptians just stunned into silence but how good Elias was they forgot to applaud. They’ve never seen anything like it!

Elias totally dominated the game. Well done!

Magnificent victory. So well deserved!

Strange to see Asal break after a few really bad ref calls. He's usually a warrior. The impartial squash fans will be delighted to see Diego win the world champions playing fluid squash.

A victory for squash

Almost perfect outcome!

Wahoo! A World Champion from Peru! Very impressive movement style from Elias, combining his tall physique with approach accuracy, speed and perseverence. Asal will get his WC as well, no doubt; just a matter of time.

Well deserved, Diego ! Bravo 👍🏻

Very well done Diego!!!!!!!!!!

lovely

Huge congratulations to Diego for an amazing effort this tournament!

Egyptian crowds could learn from Asal and grow up a little ... i get upset that parents are not telling their kids how to act while watching a sport in a small atmosphere... brutal Amazing game though!!!

Buenaaa!!! ….ademas has jugado contra el publico y comentaristas y ganado!! Bien hecho!! Vamos Peru!!!

Elias deserves the win fair and square 👍🏻, CONGRATS

00:46 Asal testing the ref with a pathetic attempt at a stroke

Elias was fantastic he deserved it well

Amazing good luck for Elias at the most critical moment, but Asal didn't look like he was at the races.

Congrats to Diego but Asal looked like he wasnt really trying because he kept playing front court only for the first two rounds (based on what i see in the highlights only)

🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪 thanks Diego

great match

Amazing end to third game. Incredible get at 9-10, then the nick serve off the back wall. I wonder if he was going for that? I think almost certainly yes. I used to go for that, and could get it pretty close, sometimes nicking, as a mere club player.

The best version of Diego

Glad Elias won just to stick it to that crowd. Shame the World Champs are still played there

Congratulationnnsssss

It's fair enough to say asal behaving like true champion no blocking and elias is in his prime form and home crowd is always with home player it's natural and now they start learning to appreciate others as crown is no more in their home ......that's sportsmanship....

Congrats Diego Elias!!!

Good on him.

what was the deal on the 10-10 3rd game?

🇵🇪

Can anyone tell where the sami-final match is? I really wanted to see the highlights of Coll's game.

Very well played by Diego.

can someone explain to me what happened on the serve from Elias ? I absolutely do not understand!!!

Interesting physique matchup here - both identical height at 6'2 and only a 4 lbs weight difference. It's not surprising there was so much contact, the game gets pretty bumpy the taller the players are.

Great victory diego🏆🏆

This is amazing. Elias deserves it

No let was a great call 👍👍

Elias worthy champion. Asal didn’t fight hard enough but on the day , Elias was much better

can someone explain what happenend at the 3rd set at 10-10, elias serving?? the commentator says he's hit the back wall deck on the service...what happened?

well deserve win for Diego

Can see the influence of Power in Diego's game. Asal a little bit crushed by expectation?

Elias played through the bullshit interference and boy did it pay off. So good to see an honest genuine win

Congrats Peruvian Puma !

What a match from Elias, turning the Egyptian court into a library 😂 Asal has improved, but not for the Egyptian croud 🥱🥱🥱

Weird game. Asal wasn’t interested in winning it seems. And Elias had some ridiculous lucky last gasp gets.

0:50 - haha, questionably funny

Last three points are the greatest Karma I've ever seen 😂 Though Asal seemed clean this tournament, well done! As of the audience, I am officially requesting not to host World Champs ine Egypt ever again. Pathetic behaviour of childish crowd

will Elias still be good enough to medal when squash is an olympic sport in 2028?

Felicidades campeón, arriba Perú!!

Ha ha a ha ha it was a done deal why oh cant you get the prediction right Johnny he was never going to loose this WC.
