Explore World Squash (Jan 25 2012)

The third seed will now face top seed Nick Matthew after the Englishman denied any Egyptian interest in the last four of the first PSA World Series squash event of the year by beating No7 seed Mohamed El Shorbagy.

SQUASH GOING CRAZY AGAIN - TOC 2012: AMR SHABANA vs. MIGUEL ANGEL RODRIGUEZ Slowly but surely more and more people learn to know what an outstanding entertainer Miguel Angel Rodriguez is . He is goddamn fast, he loves to run (also the wrong way, just to exploit his speed in a funnier way), hits magic exhibition-like shots (he acquired first world fame with the this shot), but has also a very smooth basic technique. He is one of the very few players who generates smile on people's face who watch (Read Full Article)Comment Mentions: Amr Shabana Nick Matthew New York

It's been breathtaking, from the first to the last rally. The first tournament of 2012 (concluding the World Series events of 2011) in the prestigious Queens Club in London, featuring the 8 best players (minus two injured) and a 91min epic final that will enter into the history of squash as one of, if not the greatest ever (next to the famous Matthew-Willstrop semi-final at the 2010 Canary Wharf Classic and few others of course). This time nothing to be analyzed, just to be enjoyed, each second of it. (Read Full Article)Let, Stroke Or No Let? Karim Darwish vs. Amr Shabana - NO LET! THE SQUASH VIDEO BLOG

The Egyptian Way Of Life Ii.: Ramy Ashour Getting Obsessed With His Tea Cup
View all 2 articles » Explore NO LET! THE SQUASH VIDEO BLOG (Jan 9 2012)
Whilst Amr Shabana wins his first title on British soil (2012 World Series Finals, what a match, what a win!), Ramy Ashour is inventing toys not on British soil, but still around a typical British object, the "tea cup". Ramy has been struggling now for a few months with his recurrent hamstring injury. He tried to come back for the last tournament in India in December, but it was a failed try and he had to leave and get further treatment. He might be again out, but not down, as we could also see it from the previous tea-cup session. ... (Read Full Article)Looking Back And Forth Ii: The Up-And-Coming Players Of 2011 - NO LET!

Ramy Ashour and Peter Nicol
Explore NO LET! THE SQUASH VIDEO BLOG (Jan 3 2012)
I might exaggerate, but I am almost convinced that within movement one of the most important things is how you master the split step. It is your very first reaction before starting to go towards the ball and it will determine the explosiveness of your movement. The split step is simple and complex at the same time. Simple, as you just need to jump up slightly with both feet before heading off towards the ball. Complex, as it needs delicate timing in order to avoid to land too early or too late.What is the main point about the split step? ...

Apologies, exceptionally no video, just text. A brief analysis of the main tendencies within the top10 in the 2011 PSA Squash season : #1 NICK MATTHEW: continues to amaze. We have to remind ourselves that Matthew has never been ranked better than #4 before 2010, and he was already 30 years old by then. This year not only he occupied the #1 spot throughout the year, but he visibly continues to progress and improve technically, as that is probably the least developed part of his game. It's been a great year for Matthew, even if he beat Ramy Ashour only ...

I had the pleasure last week to meet some young up-and-coming Egyptian players at the 2011 London Open. To be precise, four of them.

Nick Matthew vs. James Willstrop
Explore NO LET! THE SQUASH VIDEO BLOG (Dec 1 2011)
James Willstrop has won 2 World Series events in a row, first in Hong Kong then in Qatar. In those 10 matches he's lost one only game in a tie-break to Karim Darwish in the Qatar final (Darwish was the opponent also in the Hong Kong final). Both times, Willstrop beat convincingly a form-and-confindence regaining Gregory Gaultier in the semi-finals. In Hong Kong one could have thought that Gaultier had too heavy legs from his 90 minute quarter final match against Nick Matthew, but in Qatar it was just clear that on such a cold court James is the better ...
