Jonathon Power vs. David Palmer 2001

[OttoSquash]

This is how I act everyday I play at my club and I'm having trouble getting games.

[hordey123]

yellow ball??

[vittorioabr]

esto no es squash, senores. Preferible ver Hellcats o Glee.

[paigysboi]

hahaha his face when he realises hes just broken his racquet!! brilliant

[johnykoop]

@paigysboi why was power so annoyed at breaking his racket, cant he just get a new one out his bag?!

[peterpolloalan]

Awesome Power.........2:58. You are the best

[unibrook]

At 0:15 Power should have got a Let call.  But ref probably could not see that he would have made that ball in real time. Easy for me to make that call in slo-mo replay with front wall camera view.

[delaliom]

any place this match is available on dvd?

[legendroy123]

palmer sucks at his footwork for front drop shots. He just stands there n drop, he doesnt make way for the opponent to retrieve the ball.

[Freemallan]

that was pretty crappy reffing.

[mbalfour7]

TERRIBLE REFFING, but the sad thing is I've seen worse... We have to fix this part of our sport... that ref-lady has likely never played squash at a high level so her understanding is academic at best.

[Trickthenick9]

power was so high this match..

[aussiepunk]

@Trickthenick9 HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA best comment so far

[TheSuperintendant]

awesome vid.

[oldburnhamthorp]

that lady ref is the most fucked up ref in da universe

had her at british open. fucked it

[mrbobevans]

Power (McEnroe) vs. Palmer (Lendl) makes for an amazing match. Their matches are so much like Mac vs. Lendl - you can sense their dislike for one another.

[jdcontrol]

Why do you always compare squash with tennis?

[mrbobevans]

I am a tennis player who is amazed with squash. I am very familiar with the tennis greats, and like to see similarities in the games. This match reminds me of the McEnroe vs. Lendl matches.

[mrbobevans]

That end of match handshake was identical to some of the Lendl-McEnroe matches. Not much love.

[Sean6196]

He's not really comparing squash to tennis, he's alluding to people with similar on-court chemistry and behavior.

And personally I dislike the fact that he got voted down because he was talking about tennis.

[mrbobevans]

Palmer reminds me of Ivan Lendl. He looks like him and moves like him.

[picture12345678]

plamer didn't deserve to win, power was right to get some of those lets and that last important stroke...

[doubleT1636]

i would pay sooo much to have seen that match live...i wouldnt have blinked

[VooDooMaGicMan81]

At two games each, 11-11, where the hell does Power get the energy from to be so animated anyway?!

[blazin742]

feel bad for refs

[jdcontrol]

Power is a great player, hes just got the worst attitude hahaha

[jamma]

Was he going to throw the raquet? haha I like him.

[rickrudner]

Does anyone know where I can get the full version of this game, its one of the greastest matches ever!!!!

[roeldecool]

i think its a dvd but i am not sure ;)

[aminozuur]

Jonathon Power is definately my favourite Squash player of all times!!! He actually GOES for the ball.. Wheter it be by running.. or flying :D !

Thanks for this video! It rocks even more than my video of Jonathon Power :P.

[bufweme]

what a baby

[funlovingmonkey]

does anyone have a link to the part in a game where they almost break into a fistfight? I remember seeing one of them pin the other up on the glass wall but havent been able to find the clip

[darktee]

great player, but the biggest moaner i've ever seen. I'm not complaining though, its hilarious.

[cwunb]

POWER RULES!!! Representing canada eh!

[ramy2m]

is that when Ahmad Barada gave jonathan his racket instead of his brocken one??

[petrucci123]

Power's face at 1:00 is priceless

[minmlst]

That's entertainment! LOL

[Infamous163]

funny canadians lol

[mbg680]

David Palmer play's @ my squash club!!!! The University Club of Boston!!! Power is such a sore looser!

[Tiagoluiscastro]

fuck you! power? loser? you don't understand anything about squash if you say that. Power is one of the greatest players in the history of squash!

[Infamous163]

ye hes good but moans like a sore loser

[Monkey200728]

haha Ok buddy, he's a successful loser then!

[jonathonpower6666]

jajajaja youre an asshole... power a loser??? he´s jesus reincarnated

[zemogkcin]

dude i thought he is from australia

[zemogkcin]

dude i thought he is from australia

[funlovingmonkey]

Palmer is from Australia, but now bases himself out of Boston because he signed to Black Knight.

[Adrian19Adrian19]

He isn't based in Boston because of Black Knight.  ??? That's a weird spin, buddy...

[JewishPopeCrunkmasta]

ur an idiot. power is awesome

[tommybobing]

I play squash and i have never broken a racquet even if i hit it against the wall!

[mikedrisco]

Is there a penalty for intentianly damaging your racket in the course of play?

[Irishidotsquashgod]

yes

[jamma]

What a stupid question.

[ashhazz01]

power is an entertainer, he`s the McEnroe of squash

[ComeonRoger]

I agree with you

[Irishidotsquashgod]

does ANyone have any jansher vs jahangir footage

[unibrook]

I would give Power a let on that shot if I could have seen it as clearly as in the slomo replay. Note that his arm did hit Palmer as he reached forward from his knees to play the ball. Would be tough for the ref to see that in realtime.

[aspmons]

haha power goes crazy because he knows that he dont have another racquet with the same strings, he knows in that moment his frontcourt game is out and he cant win the match... :D

[KTwuzhear]

powers in such a sore loozer. and it iz so funny.

[Traumadoki65]

that was unbelievable.

[th3rdeye]

HAHAHA i can totally relate to breaking a racquet in frustration! you feel like such an idiot after!

[PomBare]

When he breaks his racquet and goes mental, thats one of the funniest moments ive ever seen in sport

[funlovingmonkey]

power is one of the greatest squash legends ever

[Monkey200728]

Still a complete fuckin' idiot though. Overall, he's a fuckin' loser, but he hits a mean squash ball. Good for him, but still a fuckin' loser.

[bObSponGeSquarePant9]

I didn't post that message above

[bObSponGeSquarePant9]

That's power for you

[MonoPuyana]

Exellent game! Both of squash greatest at their best!
