dude the game is going for olympics in 2012 and ur telling its not a sport what big dumbass we have got and by the way ur "US considers driving really fast in a circle for 3 hours a sport." is called a circuit driving loser!!
I am sorry but I can't really consider this a sports. This is a great training exercise for tennis players but not an actual sport. Then again in Canada we somehow consider cutting wood in a neat and quick fashion is also considered a sport. Oh and the US considers driving really fast in a circle for 3 hours a sport.
@LeoCogni182 haha, good point. squash is not the most entertaining sport to watch, but after you play it for awhile and realize how difficult it is to execute the shots they do, you learn to appreciate it and watch it similar to tennis. unless raquet sports aren't your thing -- then that's cool .. just ur opinion.
@reignofcows i was relating squash's difficulty in terms of ending rallies with your opponent.. to tennis. but -- yeah, squash is similar to badminton in terms of mechanics.
@reignofcows Badminton is far more complex and intellectually stimulating, just have a look at some of the top viewed badminton videos on Youtube. You'd think that this video, being the most viewed squash video would be more interesting and not as repetitive.
Squash is soo much fun but soo dificult! And I agree with SLAHdaROCKER; Why isn't this in the goddamn Olympics? It's often so with "minor" sports. They get ignored. Same way with badminton.
It's hilarious that at a beginner/intermediate level that recovery: (56-58 seconds right before the end of the rally) would most likely bag you a point, and here it's basically worth nout! Great sport.
And to the nerd that said they are drenched in sweat:
1. you're creepy
2. its because they would break a sweat checking the mail.
3. because they are WIMPS, just like you, this isn't a sport, this is like watching gamers at a tournament, they aren't really doing anything, yet they act like they are winning the superbowl, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I still see 2 wimps moving 3 feet and hitting a racket. It's a horrible sport and whoever got their nerd feelings hurt and replied to me should stop cutting and find a hug, or a real sport, rofl!
This would be so much more enjoyable if those announcers would be quiet. While attempted to tune them out, I got the impression that they were just talking just to talk.
That's the problem with this sport... Only those (few) who Play(Ed) squash recognize and appreciate what's actually going on. Which doesn't make it an instant hit as a spectator sport - just ask my wife ;) As for shape u can pretty much play in any shape depending what level u want to play.
If u don't play don't start- it gets addictive!! Lol
@juasmaa Racquetball is played with a bigger ball and the ball bounces a bit more than a squash ball. I've played racquetball quite a bit and it's good fun, but i'd love to have a go at squash too
because squash is more boring and less physically demanding than watching paint dry, the end. all 12 of you out there that actually play it, congrats on being better than the other 11 at taking turns hitting a ball... thats so hard
@Ravensontop less physically demanding? haha you have obviously never played it. its a very demanding sport, you have to be incredibly fit to play the game at a high level and even then you would still be drenched in sweat, get your facts right before making any more foolish comments
@Ravensontop it is actually one of the most physically demanding sports out there they just look like they arent moving because their foot work and perception is so good. Dont go and diss things you dont know jack about dumbass
@drogbicc kk, but I was just wondering if it is American or European terrain. but finally im pretty sure it is european, its larger and less deep than american style. thanks
Barb Cooper This is just a fabulous example of how Jonathan was able to construct a rally stay focused throughout the point, and patiently wait for his opportunity and then to take it. You can see that Joanathan did not attack until he had Shabana reeling and then he hit the drop.
I took squash as my gym course and I just finished playing for the first time. It is so much harder than I thought it would be lol, he seems like the balls they use bounce more than mine though!
@HabsFanTom The ball bounces better as it gets hot. It gets hot because they hit it hard and the ball is designed to convert energy into heat. Over the years the balls have been redesigned a few times to keep the amount of bounce down as the more modern rackets allow stronger hits.
You will find that the game is not just athletic, it is also subtle, and there are many levels of play ahead of you. The two in this video play patiently, looking for just the slightest advantage to convert.
because the olympics will deteoriate even more. im sorry mate. some people are still on edge cause they had handball it almost seems that pretty soon Wii sports will be in the olympics.
no offense. i think squash was meant to help tennis player get back to fitness same with handball and soccer players.
i think the olympics has to keep some conservativism to the games they present. if they go lollygaging then soon people will scream for Wii and playstataion for olympics.
Completely retarded argument, I'm sorry mate. Squash is the epitome (look it up) of an olypmic sport compared to a) Tennis b) Golf c) Football just for starters, please read the requirements for Olympic inclusion before making outlandish statements like this again. It would also never be considered a way for tennis players to prepare, the two require vastly different skill sets.
@Darkvict92 no lo jusguez, yo pensaba lo mismo hasta que lo probe, y te juro que es un juego adictivo, casi tanto como los videojuegos, solo que real y mas divertido.
@Djayice25 there is quite a lot of difference actually ... for starters, in racquetball there is no lower limit on the main wall (like the tin in squash) ... the main wall n the side walls do not have any upper limit ... only the back wall has an upper limit usually 12 feet (i think) ... the ball in racquetball bounces MUCH more than a squash ball ... the racquets too have a different shape ... etc etc
@sudarshangopinath there is a lower limit exactly the same as the tin. The only difference on the front wall is the service line. You can serve anywhere above the tin in raquetball whereas you can only serve above the service line in squash. Other rule difference is that you play to 9 points instead of 11 and you can only win a point on your own serve.
almost every comment on here is retarded. this is squash. it is an unbelievably difficult sport. these are two of the greatest players ever. you could not beat them
@hosamgmc ohhhkay if you've ever played raquetball you'd know how physically demanding it is. You need a ridiculous amount of stamina. And its actually harder to play when the ball is so bouncy.
@hosamgmc its because squash is an english sport , and egypte was a colonie of england and the english brought it to there so they are there from the beginning of squash
I completely agree with your comments about squash being superior to racquetball. While tennis is better from a spectator/TV standpoint than squash, squash is easier on the body for the most part. As a tennis player, I have had tennis elbow (sucks) and I now have a wrist injury to my non-dominant hand - from the wonderful two-hand backhand shot. Tennis players have more injury to their knees as well. Hip injuries are more common to squash than tennis.
@mrbobevans In the words of my docter, Squash is the single most dangerous sport in terms of developing sports injuries. Although, I suppose Squash becomes less dangerous when your better at it, and the opposite for tennis. Anyway, what do I know, I'm from Canada where the sport is not that popular. I play 3 times per week but we never see it on TV, and the only player we've ever heard of is Jonathon who is from my home town, and runs a school out of my club.
@StumpyClark3217 it is dangerous because the ball is the same size as the socket of your eye, and the ball travels really fast and you can get in someones way easily, this adds up to a few casualties where the ball hits ur eye and detaches your retina. but it is illegal for under 18 to play squash without wearing squash goggles. and in my opinion everyone should have to wear them cos onemistake and ur out for the rest of u r life
I've noticed that some players occasionally touch the wall with their hand in between the games (though not specifically on this vid...). Could anyone pls explain to me what it is for? Thanks
@lilalcoholicbreck Lighter shots (drop shots) are most often used to kill the ball straight away like the last shot of the video. They're very difficult to play from the back of the court. If you get it wrong then your opponent has most of the court to aim at while you're out of position. Tactically they're not really worth it, especially against pros!
As a spectator, the style of play in squash in much more difficult to differentiate than tennis. The strokes of Connors, McEnroe, Borg, Lendl, Federer, Sampras, Agassi, Edberg, Becker, Nadal, etc are easily recognizable.
@Rulesquash Really? lol Im playing squash to get fit. Im Overweight but damn it's good cardio. Even though i don't play it right. Just rallying with friends OMG i Drop pounds of sweat. I think it's a great way to get fit
I know what oyu are saying but thats not exactly true.. You can play squash if you are unfit but you will have to rely on your shots ie like dropping/boasting from serve etc.
I have a 70 year old friend still playing and I can assure you he lacks fitness!! :)
@Rulesquash There's nothing wrong with playing squash to get fit. You don't have to play a sport well to get a good work-out from it, and with practice you get better.
Yeah you're right, it's very good excercise, and yes, you do need to be fit, but saying u need to be fit to play squash is wrong. I started playing squash, and 3 months later, with NO other form of excercise, i am in the best shape of my life :D

@StumpyClark3217 it is dangerous because the ball is the same size as the socket of your eye, and the ball travels really fast and you can get in someones way easily, this adds up to a few casualties where the ball hits ur eye and detaches your retina. but it is illegal for under 18 to play squash without wearing squash goggles. and in my opinion everyone should have to wear them cos onemistake and ur out for the rest of u r life

I've noticed that some players occasionally touch the wall with their hand in between the games (though not specifically on this vid...). Could anyone pls explain to me what it is for? Thanks

It's to wipe the sweat off your hand, to get more of a grip on the raquet.

Can anybody tell me why they never play a really light shot? Like just lightly dink it in to the corner? So your opponent has to sprint to get to it?
Cheers.

@lilalcoholicbreck Lighter shots (drop shots) are most often used to kill the ball straight away like the last shot of the video. They're very difficult to play from the back of the court. If you get it wrong then your opponent has most of the court to aim at while you're out of position. Tactically they're not really worth it, especially against pros!

One of the announcers keeps talking about rankings. Who cares - nobody gave a hoot about rankings when Sampras played Agassi.

As a spectator, the style of play in squash in much more difficult to differentiate than tennis. The strokes of Connors, McEnroe, Borg, Lendl, Federer, Sampras, Agassi, Edberg, Becker, Nadal, etc are easily recognizable.
Squash strokes are less recognizable.

i suppose your right but i have been watching and playing squash for a while and i can now recognise the different styles of the top players.

Does a counterpuncher in squash use different strokes and positioning than an attacker.

@Rulesquash Really? lol Im playing squash to get fit. Im Overweight but damn it's good cardio. Even though i don't play it right. Just rallying with friends OMG i Drop pounds of sweat. I think it's a great way to get fit

@Rulesquash
I know what oyu are saying but thats not exactly true.. You can play squash if you are unfit but you will have to rely on your shots ie like dropping/boasting from serve etc.
I have a 70 year old friend still playing and I can assure you he lacks fitness!! :)

@Rulesquash There's nothing wrong with playing squash to get fit. You don't have to play a sport well to get a good work-out from it, and with practice you get better.

Yeah you're right, it's very good excercise, and yes, you do need to be fit, but saying u need to be fit to play squash is wrong. I started playing squash, and 3 months later, with NO other form of excercise, i am in the best shape of my life :D
