Paul Coll played my signature shot at 2:55!

Coll has a chance to go match ball but calls the double bounce. So much class and respect. Other players on tour could use this as an example...

9-8 in the 5th game, ref misses it, Coll calls his shot as a 'not up'. In a FINAL. We must take notice, this is what sport is about - sportsmanship. I feel the PSA should do a post on this moment - all players must not sacrifice these values/virtues for a WIN - the yongsters will learn, and the sport will grow this way also. These top players are ambassadors for our game and they must lead by example. Great sportsmanship from Farag too during the entire match, making it about the squash. Brilliant Paul, you have won a lifelong fan here today!

Great match by two true champs. Love how clean the squash was and how they play through minor interferences without just fishing for calls. Credit to Coll who had some tough time in recent events and it was not easy mentally being caught up at 2-2. Thanks to both for another instant classic for the fans.

stunning match. good to see the great respect between the players

two great athletes, great squash, and a 5 set tiebreaker, the perfect final. Congrats to Paul.

Wonderful squash. Also wonderful there was no Asal ruining the clean play

I love Farag but absolutely thrilled for Coll. That boy knows how to graft. One of the best maches i've seen in a while 👌

Amazing, high quality squash. What a final!

So great to see clean and great squash. Imagine having Asal here and whole match will be joke. Thats how Squash should be fair and intense. I always though Coll is the guy who can stop Farag juggernaut. He did. He was also more assertive in shot selection and did not play old passive squash of the past.

All but one match of Coll's was a 3-2 victory, and even the 3-0 win over Ibrahim was 60 mins. Incredible athleticism!

Can't get any closer than that. And Farag always a class-act.

Unbelievable squash. These guys are the epitome of skill, fitness and above all mental strength.

Incredible match by 2 incredible athletes. Congrats to Coll

Two Gentlemen of Squash……a joy to watch any games your both involved in

Well deserved Coll, he's upped his mental game coz that's what's needed to beat Farag 👏

One of the best matches ever! Amazing quality, drama and sportsmanship. Not often you see all of those combined.

And Ali went for it on the last serve, what a match, these two are just pure class calling balls down etc. Well done Paul.

Love these 2. They are great ambassadors for the sport.

Amazing game. Great players and people. Could not ask for a closer match. Pleasure to watch.

So good to watch two players that play squash with such great sportsmanship. So relieved not to have seen Asal here.

Amazing play of both!!

Congrats Paul! All the hard work paying off. Brilliant stuff mate!

Coll fully deserved this! Congratulations!

Well done Paul Coll! Awesome game both players

Best players to watch and the most sportsman like to go with it. The 2-2 10-10 rally was one of those great sporting moments. More squash like this please.

Coll’s movement off the ball is very clean, with no intention of subtle hinder-I appreciate that.

Let’s go!!!! Thrilled to see paul win

What a match!

Such a great sport when the players commit to playing the ball. Hopefully the upcoming generation of players look to these guys as professional role models.

Great match to watch

Respect for the game, respect for each other. The way squash should be played

That was fantabbydosey ! Kiwi grit, a welcome interruption, from the neutral standpoint, of Egyptian domination. Coll played a blinder, and he needed to, to get past Farag

A final for the history books!

Class highlights, class editing.

What a final!

The best part of this match was: the no up call from Coll and Farag playing the ball at 10-10 when many other players would have tried to fish for a easy stroke. Pure class athletes

Brilliant match two class acts

I love both these guys.

You can just see how much this means to Coll. I love to see him win.

what a sportsman - at 9-8 final game, Coll acknowledges the double bounce. so instead of a potential 10-8 -> 9-9

Огромное уважение обоим! Крутой, скоростной, активный сквош, и без грубостей. Колл красавец, Фараг мега талантище! Даже в конце Фараг принял атаковать решающую подачу, но ошибся, всё равно уважение. Я не представляю как это тяжело психологически играть обоим, с таким "сценарием" матча особенно 💪

I thought that ankle collision would definitely have affected Farag for at least that game, it was very hard and potentially very serious if Farag had planted that foot down, luckily he wasn’t fully weight bearing on it or he would have fallen hard.

I hope Paul wlill be around and still in top form to win a medal for NZ at the Olympics

크으,,,,,풀경기 보고 싶넹 ㄷㄷㄷ

What a match

Wow~ such a tight and exciting match.

What a match👏🥵

On their day these two are clearly playing the best squash in the world right now, amazing stuff!

Much respect for both playera!

One of the best battles!

If there is as great a spotsman gentleman as Coll in men's squash, it is Ali Farag.

FELICITACIONES PARA COLL

I feel like this has been coming all week. Coll has shown real intent with his shot selection and found enough touch at the front to turn opportunities into points on the board, and it's a step back up to what we saw get him to #1. Glad he's continuing to represent simple, low-risk squash at the top level; it's great for the game to have a mix of styles imo.

10 all in the 5th and Paul isn't even panting. man's a monster

Finally coll proves that he is the fittest player on the tour. This is how he should be playing making the games physical and fast I remember him playing elshorborgy last year or so, the game was so slow. Just playing in the hands of him

Where can i see the full match?

finesse squash at its best!

what happened when Coll tried to hit the ball between the legs ? I don't understand (and there is no replay....)

Great final! Very pleasant to watch because of the free-flowing squash. I am dreading to watch future matches with Asal, there are too many interruptions and unnecessary quarrels on court.

This is what we need to bring to the olympics

Played in the bests of spirits

Both semis and then this final! This US open has been too good at the end

Great sport,

❤

wow )

👏

Q: What do you need against Coll? A: A Farag is almost enough... ...but just almost Great match, unbelievable athletes

Does anyone know if Ali let himself win?

Great game. Very hard to understand why Farag went for the nick from the last serve. Makes zero sense to me.

Can you cut out the “flashbang“ transition please, I don’t want to be put into a fit just when I’m trying to watch Squash highlights.

I'm surprised Farag went for the nick on championship ball. Must have been really spent.

Fantastic final and great to not have to avoid and Asal coverage. I can't stand that bafoon.

Nah, this is great

Ali wasn't focused!

Farag seemed out of sorts to me?

its only news if Farag losses. Then one has to wonder if he was kinda of injured

what in the hell am i watching

Didn’t like the squash here not that clean hitting from either side

Great squash. But I REALLY wish the commentators would stop describing shots as 'outrageous'. Literally every video I watch you can guarantee they will say it at least once, probably more. Will someone please buy them a thesaurus (or, ideally, tell them to stop over-hyping their language).

Faraq you sook, no respect for you anymore!! Well done kiwi

These squash players should use their platform to speak up for their brothers and sisters in Palestine. If you can't do it now then when will you?? Honourable exception Ali, who else will be a heroic voice in their desperate plight??

Such a sudden video cutoff after the handshake!
