So good to see this wonderful guy and talent back at the top, and great to see Elshorbagy being gracious at the end.
That was unreal from Mo hey, given that ending, that was some unreal sportsmanship
So glad to see Gawad back and thriving
Gawad has the best front left backhand I’ve ever seen…….almost anyone has ever seen. Full swing and then he can do anything. Unbelievably good.
If he can return it, the ball can go anywhere. Awesome talent!
Hearty congratulations to Gawad. He's lost so many of these close matches to Shorbagy over the years its nice to finally see him win one. And kudos to Shorbagy for his incredible sportsmanship throughout, something he's greatly improved.
Baby faced assasin is back with a bang, but that pick up by gawad off the side wall was a massive double.
What a great player and friendly person… respects for both
Shorbagy is so gracious in defeat, even with contentious decisions late in the game
Really is hey. When he picked his racquet up I thought he looked angry as hell, but he put a smile on and gave a hug, really awesome of him
Ah, tainted by the no let call in the last rally. Great to see Gawad back.
I'm wondering, such a humble person like Gawad is still exist on the Earth. He is a true sportman and excellent role model.
WoW Elshorbaghy has matured so much. Respect for the way it ended and he carried himself.
So cool to have Gawad back, so entertaining to watch. And he’s hungry and back to WC level. Hurrah🎉
Love to see Gawad back on his game. One of the best players to watch
Just love these two when they play against each other
wow, what a match! And what a classy players with such different styles.
Such a close match. Good to see Gawad getting back in shape
such a beatiful match and high sportmanship from both players....... gawad at his best, was good went down the line and now back up again, kudos buddy (note : that inconclusive review shot ..... was a clear double drop)
If it was so clear it would have been called down by both officials; frankly it's hard to tell as it was hitting the side wall at the same time.
That was amazing from Gawad. He was brilliant specially cross court drop shots.
The "Inconclusive" call at the end of the match was INCORRECT. There were two bounces.
Clear double bounce at the end and influenced the final score.
check this again in slow speed. the ball was good.
@@dimitrisd.9173 Err, not it wasn't. The ball hits the side wall first, then the ground, then Gawad's racket - double bounce.
@@davesmith826 Interesting - to my eye in slowmo it's good, hitting the wall ten the racket...
The only thing that is clear is that it was inconclusive - otherwise there wouldn't be such polarised opinions
it wasnt even close to a double bounce... ball was 100% good. maybe you are watching on a bad screen so u cant see properly
What an amazing match!
Wonderful match! Couldn’t be happier to see Gawad back and winning.
Such entertainment, lovely to see Karim flow freely again. Pity with the questionnable calls on that pick-up and then also blocking in the final point. But great sportsmanship from Momo.
Wow such a glorious match❤
Hands up to both, Worth watching match
This match is in my top 5 matches of all time
Wat a Game ! Awesome
MARRY ME, Karim!!!! Love that guy ❤❤❤❤
Well done Gawad, such a clean and entertaining match. So glad Asshall is out
What a naturally gifted shot maker Gawad is.
master class
Masters of disguise ( shots). Incredible.
What a match!
What a treat!
Great match a clear double though and a dubious no let but also a testament to moes sportsmanship and very decent conduct.
ماشاء الله عليك ياكيمو ربنا يحفظك
Awesome 🎉
Hail the return of the Artist albeit a few unlucky calls for Shorbaghy. A big shout out to the crowd in Birmingham for a second round match. All said and done, England will always remain the home of squash.
That was a double bounce, hit sidewall then floor then racket, but still very happy to have gawad back in top form
Had the pleasure of watching this awesome match at the Rep live and in person! Some stunning moments. For me the ending was very harsh on MES - the double bounce was clear enough, and on the final point Gawad moves forward into the line and hip checks MES, at least a let potentially a stroke. The inconclusive call was a double punishment, because it was incorrect, and because it "used up a review". The WSO rules (either in the rules or in appendix 4) don't mention "inconclusive" decisions, which perhaps should be clarified - my view would be there is a strong argument that inconclusive should result in the player keeping their review, to prevent the situation here. All credit to Gawad however, he is marching his way back up the ranking and if anything looks a lot fitter and perkier than he did at his previous peak. With Asal "unavailable", and Coll, Elias and Farag not really firing on all cylinders recently, there is a real possibility for Gawad to go the distance!
Love u Gawad!!!🎉❤😊
A heavy metal match 💕
Love it
Gawain is one of my favorite players, along with Elias, but the last couple of calls looked unfortunate for El Shorbagy, the first being a clear double bounce, and the last a clear let. But still a great match, and great sportsmanship.
Such a cleaver player. Very tricky. Well done Gawad !!!
Mo is gracious guy
What is the point of a replay system that can't tell if it's a double bounce (or not) !?!
Yes it should be possible to greatly magnify the part of the view that is critical to the decision and go frame to frame if needs be. This is the British Open for goodness sake and there was (as they say) 'nothing between them' at hit point in time and it was the end of a 5 game match! A correct decision, an actual decision, was possible and was ESSENTIAL. (I think it was a double.)
"Back to Bristol" 😂😂
I can't claim I've ever understood Let/No Decisions, but I feel bad for Elshorbagy. He could have gotten to the ball if Gawad wasn't in the way. Happy to see Gawad back in form, and glad Elshorbagy conceded graciously. Great game overall 👏
gawad can't disapear in space. He did not intentionally block a way to the ball while returning to "T". Thus the No Let. After all those fair points this one is visibly more on the edge, but in context Mo had run pro-actively to the front instead of defense.
ALL HAIL THE ROYAL ASSASSIN!!! but also feels bad for baggy.. how on earth cant we figure out if double or not xDDDD
Need thermal cameras like cricket
Fun Fact: Until 1978, the accepted colloquial for a resident of Birmingham was a 'Minger', however this was no longer acceptable and so was changed, mainly to avoid confusion with a type of valuable, Chinese vase.
Great match... But ElShorbagy got two bad calls at the end.
Conversation at 5:10? Can we get some context of that? 😂😂
very likely that could be even better than the final itself ;-)
Possibly, what a dream match up at R3, but a lot due to Gawad's inactivity for so long. But whatever the case, from QF to finals, it's full of exciting lineups.
que buen match!!! aunque solo que el penúltimo punto solo fue un bote
What is up with Gawad? Maybe a sports psychologist? Suddenly realizing long-withheld potential, reminds me of Marche. Love to see it.
Am I the only one that thought it came off the side wall then on to racket and not a double?
I thought the same
You are not the only one.
For me Gawad is the best player, however lacks of consistency…
Yeah, the Egyptian was too good!
Gawad is class
Shorbagy got robbed twice. Last 2 points were daylight robbery by the referee
don't be troll. Mo got point from 10:8 to 10:9 and he proceed with serving. the last point was clear let caused by wrong decision of proactively going the risky front way instead of defence
What is the logic of having just one review in the final game??? And why do you lose a review, even when a decision is overturned???
So happy to see Gawad back and killing it. Over the years, easily one of my favourite players to watch.
The ball was good, put in slow here in yt, u'll see that the ball touch first the wall and after the racket
squash is much better with Gawad (baby faced assasin) in it! my fav player
Elshorbagy is an excellent player but I'm always for gawad
OMG
Awful no let decision last rally, the ball was so far from the wall. It was a clear let.
Shorbagy went the wrong way. The decision was pretty clear tbh.
The "inconclusive" was MUCH worse, as a decision.
Can't agree with that last point 'no let' from the referee, Mohamed was not allowed access to the ball, bad news in that regard. A great match overall though. Gamal has had two 5 setters one after the other, we'll see how he fronts up for the next one.
The ball is not up at the end, and I think referee could give a Let at 10-9... No ?
most obvious double bounce
마지막 스코어는 의도적으로 진로를 방해하는 행동이 포함되어있습니다 더티 플레이네요
Delicious
HUGE block by gawad on a poor dropshot at the last point. The referee did a big mistake at such a crucial moment and this could easily have been avoided by just taking a second look. These type of decisions force players to play dirty, either by blocking like Gawad did here or by forcefully push in this case Gawad towards the ball/sidewall and claim an easy stroke. Which I'm happy Elshorbagy didn't do, but probably would have done when he was younger. This type of blocking should be punished with conduct stroke. And the referees should be more thoughtful when they make decisions like this. And when can we get a highspeed camera to fix the pickup issues? I feel like we could get a more fair game and better squash out of the players with help of technology and a overhaul of the refereesystem.
Clearly a double
ridiculous referee..tht was a clear double and then a let ,last 2 points
Amazing match overall. But Gawad's movement on the final point is right into Shorbagy's line and the shot was several feet in from the sidewall. Poor reffing on that call. At least a yes let, possibly a stroke to Shorbagy from Gawad taking out his opponent.
Crappy commentary again
Great to see Gawad win👍. Shorbagy losing isn't bad either 😀.
Upvote if you thought it was a clear double, downvote if you thought it was not or inconclusive. I'm curious what people thought since I thought it was a clear double!
How bitter is Gawad. He doesn´t deserve win beyond his quality.
