The atmosphere at this tournament was insane!
Amazing how quickly Crouin has suddenly become a contender out of nowhere, beating huge names recently like Momen, Marwan, and Makin. His game reminds me so much of Thierry Lincou. Always happy to see a new star emerge on tour and I hope he keeps it going.
Yeah- all th french move so well.
Paul Coll too - in fact, he defeated him while Paul was world #1!
Greogire Marche got leap frogged very quickly by Crouin.
Thierry Lincou reincarnation indeed 👌
@@Amadox88 could go all the way?
Marwan was playing the ref like a well-practiced instrument.
I think it was the lack of competency on the part of the ref than skill on Marwan’s part. There are players like this who are well known, and the ref should take action in the very beginning of the match to keep it fair and free flowing.
Those 2 nicks were so clutch it's insane
The crowd and the ambiance is amazing !
Awesome appreciative audience. Deep base Music. MC in full dapper suit. A well deserved honest player barely wins against a literal jackal of a player. How good was this!
This format best of 3 until the semi finals works really well and should be used far more often. Too many tournaments last year were disappointing in the final rounds because of exhaustion and injury. Well done Nantes.
Exactly dude, nice point you're making here
Completely eliminates a attritional play style though
Best of 3 format also allows upsets to happen early on in the tournament. Much harder to beat a better player over 5 games vs 3. Despite the best of 3 format, you could still see Marwan clutching his upper hamstring during the 5th.
Magnifique, ça fait plaisir de revoir un joueur français à ce niveau... Et avec la manière 👍🏅👏
Well done Crouin, that was brutal.
Very impressive from Crouin, the sheer quality of his winning shots is at the very top level. He could have made it a lot easier if he just showed the effort to avoid interference with Marwan; you can't expose any blocking movement if you make no effort to avoid the space taken up by his shot anyway.
The one at 7:35 was caused by Crouin though, he pushed Marwan towards the ball and didn't let him clear. So I would say sometimes it's no effort but also sometimes it's just fishing for strokes.
@@michazawadzki3813 I agree in either case; ultimately Crouin plays a loose shot and then doesn't avoid interference.
I think this is more the refs responsibility. Even though a point may be a no let because it’s too good, that doesn’t make blocking ok. The ref should be pointing this out and use devices like conduct warnings to make the player clear, or he’ll just keep blocking.
@@ewallt It depends on your view of "taking space" vs "blocking"; I think Marwan did a good job (100% deliberately, of course) of pushing "taking space" as much as he could within the rules.
@@M0odez A couple of times you could see him move into C’s line. Also you can take space until the nanosecond your shot ends, at which point you’re required to clear, and there were numerous cases where M made no effort whatsoever to clear.
I've paid attention to Victor since Harvard and noticed his great technique, racket prep, movement and fearless and creative shots, and not surprised to see him rise to top 10, expect to see him in top 5 soon. Great match to watch.
Congratz Victor Crouin!!! Execellent performance, great match!!
That is great to see how the crowd reacted thruout the tournament
Looks like Crouin will be the newest long term member of the top 20
Surprised neither of the commentators mentioned The Day of the Jackal. He was also finally undone in France!
Crouin you beauty! that was really something especially considering the location.
Must say Crouin has surprised me. He's obviously worked very hard on his game and his attention to detail on court is great most of the time. If he can beat Asal that will be the key test in the next 3 to 4 years.
great reactions from the commentators, need more of this
At least twice that I saw, immediately after Marwan plays that forehand drop, he makes a movement across to the right directly into the path of his opponent. 06:15 and 07:35
Yes, and the ref should make him stop.
Hey Stefan, the problems for Crouin and ultimately why I agree with the ref on both cases of no let are: 1) Marwan's movements are mostly from momentum generated as he plays his own shot, putting his shoulder forward and extending his follow through in the direction that he wants the ball to go. In both cases, the movement isn't exaggerated to the point where you could definitely say it's not part of the technique, and it's mostly during his own shot rather than after his own shot. 2) Crouin doesn't make any effort to avoid the interference. In both cases, he commits to an unrealistic line and he commits too soon (at 07:35, his hand is on Marwan before the shot is played), so irrespective of Marwan's actions interference will occur. Without a doubt Marwan knows what he's doing, but he is doing it fantstically well.
Watch the footwork of marwan at 7:35. His left foot trailing onwards indicates that the momentum came from somewhere else. When moving right you would push off left. I didn’t see him do that. I think Victor takes/pushes him into the line.
Whether Marwan intentionally blocked is debatable, but that he made no effort to clear isn’t, and this happened many times just in this portion that has highlights. It’s hard to blame a pro for taking what the ref allows, so I think it’s on the ref to keep the game fair and free flowing.
Great squash! Croin is looking for some lets a bit too much but he's really turning into a really, really good player. Love seeing all up'n coming new players!
Such ballsy shots from Crouin at such crucial points. Very exciting to watch.
Bravo !
Amazing match! Amazing crowd! The two highlighted points where Victor plays a loose shot that Marwan takes his time to drop... didn’t see a huge issue myself 🤷♂️
he kinda moves into the shot blocking crouin
Crouin's playing great and his shotmaking at times is out of this world. Bodes well for '23 for him, well played young man!!
Awesome match .... STOP READING ID YOUR NOT DONE WATCHING ... Crouin had to beat El Shorbagy and the ref!!! Thankyou for showing so much of the final game PSA 👍
Amazing. Even elias can’t beat Marwan. Should go for top 7 starting with makin, dessouky & tarek momen
What a nice match lots of enjoy
totally epic
Deux volley nicks. Fait accomplis..
Why such an atmosphere/crowd here, but virtually no crowd in the last PSA tournament in Qatar?
In Nantes, we manage to sell tickets by inviting people to a exhaustive event, with music, dancing, the discovery of a completely new venue every year, etc... We don't sell tickets for Farag v. Shorbagy but rather for a night watching some squash and a bunch of other stuff. And now we have make a name for ourselves here in Nantes.
WOW
Unbelievable!
Great Stuff from both players
Le petit commandant!
Marwan - shameful blocking patterns & frankly, NOT something the commentators should be giggling about
🤯🤯🤯🤯
what a win. even mutiple decisions on marwan. crouin deserved it
i am never actually glad for a loser but I am happy Crouin won💪
So many players starting to use the backing tactic now that the referees are reluctant to give lets.
Both No Let decisions (including the one at 7-7) were absolutely insanely wrong. Marwan was moving in the wrong direction. Why this was not acknowledged in the reviews is a complete mystery to me.
It depends on whether the ref thinks the ball is too good in terms of awarding a let, but in any case the ref should have been making Marwan clear. For example, one can call it a no let but still issue a conduct warning.
crouin, dont do that replay for no-let....
Marvan is a disgrace to the game. That block on match point down was just disgusting. The referee was worse for letting that happen 🙄
The Egyptian school of che..ing yet again!
Glad Marwan lost he plays like a loser and spend more time in blocking and yet winning those annoying points thanks to lenient decisions by the ref. With his height at 183 the best he had is how to block a bloke at 170 and yet losing the game, ah so fulfilling to see 😊
Maintenant, on ne parlera plus de Charles Martel à Poitiers, mais de Victor Crouin à Nantes qui a bouté l'arabe hors de France ! 👏
raciste eh?
Magnifique Crouin... mais bon faut arrêter les demandes de let improbables. 😊
Can’t stand either elshorbagy nowadays
🎉
