PACE Canadian Classic 2008

The only event Amr joined in North American in early 08 on account of his wife’s upcoming delivery of their first child back home in Egypt which he ad to attend. And yes it happened since, her name is Nada Amr Mostafa Shabana, congrats mom (Naja) & dad.

Preceding that great moment though, Amr treated us to others amongst which was one of the most anticipated in the last few months Vs the young rising star & defending champions for the event Ramy Ashour.     

First though he would have measure himself to one of the best from Canada and two of his countrymen in the quarters & semis. On the opposite side of the draw Ramy would first have to play the #1 from cze, the #1 from Canada and also one of his countrymen and training partner.

3 great matches, jaw-dropping rallies & witty commentating by Jonathon Power and promoter John Nimick to top it all off, what more can we add?

1. Amr Shabana vs. Wael ElHindi

Wael is easy to recognize on court, he dresses differently and plays differently than most of his peers. He fights as hard for every inch of space on court as he does in an argument with referees on questionable calls or with tour managers on questionable administration policies. Many say of Wael that he has all that it takes to become # 1 in the world; well he’d have a chance to prove how he can do it tonight vs the man himself. On the clothing end Amr keeps things a notch below Wael, but he certainly is a match to him on the mind’s and convictions’ end saying what he thinks if & when he believes it’s the right thing to do. Watching what he does with the ball at the end of game 3 in this match when he heard from the crowd’s reaction to a giant screen slow-motion replay that the referee had made a mistake on a pick up call says it all on the man’s character. And what to say about his magic hands and crazy artistry… not too many players on tour can put the ball away repeatedly in dead nics as he does each time making it appear as if it was by fluke and purely accidental. Only once he’s done this over & over in a single game do we realize that none of it is accidental, not a human being alive can be that fast. What he does may be instinctive and somewhat magical, but it’s surely not accidental!

2. Ramy Ashour vs.  Karim Darwish

 

Karim and Ramy were tied at 2-2 in head-to-head tour encounters before this match was played, so despite the media hype that put Ramy as the favourite tonight, Karim wasn’t at all intimidated. That they play and train together a good part of the year may of course have a lot to do with his disposition, all to our advantage as spectators of course. Karim is immensely skilful in the front part of the court, especially when he pulls ahead in the score as more often then not he strike the balls more fluidly and is more effective in his attacks then. How Ramy countered those attacks is not quite clear yet, and we probably won’t know for certain until we plant a Super-Slow 1000 frames-second camera behind the court that will help us figure how he does what he does - from grip, to racquet face opening, to execution. All we will be missing thereafter to get the complete picture on how he does what he does is a brain-scan and thought monitoring device and we’ll be set, unless of course he boggles up the analysis by re-inventing himself…

The one we’ve been waiting for so long in North America … # 1 vs # 2 in the world – the reigning World Champs Vs the next one in the making according to many. But that being written, be careful all readers, especially if you are a PSA tour player aspiring to win that same title and # 1 spot one day… and possibly by beating the very person everyone through should win it. Indeed the brain’s a delicate matter that can be moulded and programmed despite you being aware of it, even only through reading the words of a journalist and writer in a match review. Similarly to ranking positions that are put down on a draw sheet by a tournament organizer before the start of an event, everyone has a choice to believe in those rankings or not. If consciously or unconsciously a player chooses to believe that the ranking order on a draw sheet is where he belongs, what chances do you think he has to beat any higher ranked players? If on the other hand he chooses the pay no attention to that ranking then he gives himself an honest chance to win on merit rather than handing the victory over to his opponent often even before the first ball of the match is struck. Which brings us to the match confronting these two masters,  one was # 2 and the other #1 , one had everything to gain, the other everything to lose. # 2 started the match on fire, #1 well… not sure what happen to tell you honestly. Game 2 and the rest of the match was another matter though, this was a territorial battle you won’t forget.

First Super Series event of the 2007 season, the players were not only well rested and determined to start off the year on a good note, they were also aware that this first ever HD Broadcast would make history. So to the crowds’ delight, and to our own for years to come, they gave it all they had no holds bar, what resulted was nothing short of amazing. Never before did we capture as many great matches from a single event featuring so many different top players, there were 12 in fact. The quality of each of the 10 matches was so impressive that any of them but #10 could have been selected within the top 3. So needless to say that ranking those matches as we normally do qualifying and assigning a number to each was the most difficult thing we have had to do since we first launched squashlive in 2001.

Here as follow are brief overviews and match set ups…

1. Ramy Ashour Vs. Azlan Iskandar  

Young rising star Ramy is a man in a hurry, having won all he could in the junior ranks until last year; he rushed to the men's PSA tour to start beating the big boys. Azlan didn't mind the hype it appears as he traded Ramy shot for shot throughout the match. Surely the fact that he had played the match of his life a day earlier may have boosted his confidence. Don’t expect many up and down the wall rallies in this match but rather flurries of spectacular nicks from all areas of the court followed by countless edge-of-the-frame pick ups, spectacular counter attacks and speedy retrieving that will leave you gasping. If it seems that we have sped up the film for effect - then think again, no need to adjust your set - these guys are just that fast.

2. James Willstrop Vs Stewart Boswell

Rarely have we had the privilege to capture such an amazing and closely contested match over the years, in fact only one comes to mind - Jonathon Power against Peter Nicol in the Super Series Finals 2003. This match was so long and so hard that it’s a wonder James and Stewart could actually stand up at its conclusion, let alone walk off the court unassisted.

Not since his return to the pro tour in 2005 following a two year absence from the circuit due to injury had Stewart played as well as he did during this match. An hour and a half into it he knew that his long road to recovery was finally complete. This former world # 4 is known for his patience and metronomic consistency. Having joined the tour in 1996 during the Jansher Khan’s domination era, this type of play was the norm so he kept with it. James was very much aware of this and was intent on drawing him out of his comfort zone using his vast array of shots to open the court then capitalize on small opportunities. He had been on a dry spell in the latter part of the previous season and was determined to put an end to it.

3. David Palmer Vs Wael El Hindi 

If the Egyptian’s playing style pose a threat to many, it doesn’t seem to intimidate one of the most solid and consistent player on tour over the last 10 years - World Champion David Palmer. The young ones can throw all they have at him but the man still find ways to neutralize them using his combination of volley-kill drops followed by kill drives off the pick ups. No wonder he holds more titles than any other active players on the PSA tour.

The one thing Wael and David have in common over most of their peers is size; both are over six feet tall, muscular and solid as rock. If most of their opponents make a habit of clearing their straight path to balls out of concern for their personal safety, these guys didn’t seem one bit concern with such trivial detail playing each other; they stood their grounds making for a highly physical game that kept the referee busy throughout. If you’re into skills & kills and don’t mind a few football or rugby moves, this match has it all. If you enjoy lots of it, you'll be well served as it went the distance being the event’s second longest match behind that of Willstrop Vs Boswell.

4. John White Vs Karim Darwish 

If the years are catching up to John there was no sign of it during this match as he treated us to another bullet-fest classic against a player eight years younger. Seeing John's shots spin in the craziest of angles is a fascinating and unique experience, especially for his opponents who are so often made to look like beginners time and time again, unable to anticipate where the ball will end up after he strikes it. Even when a player performs the best he can against John, as was the case for Darwish, he’ll still come off court after the match wondering what planet he’s just been on.

Darwish had demonstrated his amazing racquet skills a day earlier against my son Shawn sending more “touch drop” kills from the back court areas in a single game than I had witnessed any tour player deliver in a match. Karim would need to draw on every skill in his repertoire, hoping that maybe John would eventually slow down just enough down the stretch… What a superb battle this was.

5. Amr Shabana Vs Azlan Iskandar 

This match is unquestionably one of the best on record and certainly the match of a lifetime for at least one the players. Rarely will you get to see so many well executed points in one and the same match. In this day in time, and given how close the top players are to one another, most matches they play are relatively balanced in the sense that they will trade sequences of points and games for the most part until the conclusion of the match.

What makes this one different however is one player’s total dominance over the other and in the longest stretches. Indeed while many of the matches from the Pace Classic are peppered with jaw-dropping rallies and winners, this one is just about entirely made of them. Adding to the mix that Azlan was the clear underdog Vs the tour’s undisputed # 1 made this match the most emotionally charged of all, hang on to your seat, you won’t believe your eyes.

6. Karim Darwish Vs Wael El Hindi

Egyptian players have taken the squash world by storm in just a few short months; Amr, Ramy & Karim are solidly established in the top 10 followed by Wael, Mohammad and Hisham not too far behind. If we were to speculate on 2 reasons for this quick climb we could say that 1. their playing style is based less on easier to “read” structured patterns than on sheer open ended improvised offence and 2. since they’ve been around each other ever since they first held a squash racquet in their junior days, they are able to anticipate each other’s moves slightly faster than the rest of the pro tour field can.

Maximum offensive and surgically accurate squash executed at formidable speeds is exactly what Karim and Wael treated us to in this match. The fact that Wael had knocked higher seeded Karim from the early round of the World Open on their home turf just a few months back raised the ante and as well the match’s intensity one notch above the rest. As a result we were treated to one of the longest and most closely contested match of the event; couldn’t ask for more really from a squash fan’s point of view.

7.  Ramy Ashour Vs Anthony Ricketts 

Ramy is an amazingly crafty player who loves to send balls rolling into nicks every chance he gets either by striking them @ 100 miles an hour + or by delicately guiding them into floors joints as if they were draw there by some radar homing devices. His A game is disarmingly simple, he play balls randomly either short or deep to the back corners favouring more angles than straight balls and playing faster than his opponents are able to think, this forces them into errors he quickly capitalizes on.

On this day however something happened that would complicate things for Ramy; the court was slightly too hot so balls that would normally die or roll out on most court were sitting up longer than usual giving Anthony that extra second to counter punch Ramy into corners of his own. So there you have it, Ramy forced out of his A game and having to resort to a more basic B game Vs an in-form Anthony, unarguably the fittest player on tour. What a treat.

8. Hisham Ashour Vs Wael El Hindi 

Hisham has no intention to remain in his younger brother’s shadow for too long, it’s clear to him as it is for everyone else that in the siblings’ pecking order it should be the other way around. He may be Ramy’s big bro and favourite training partner but enough already, it’s now his turn to shine whether through his contagious smile and engaging personality off court, or by exhibiting his formidable skills in match play.

If Wael thought that this match Vs his lower ranked opponent would be a walk in the park then he was in for a surprise as Hisham had an answer for just about everything he would throw at him from the start. The match went from being one sided to evening out, then down the wire and within a breath from victory all went blurry for one of the players. What happen then is difficult to explain… was it a distraction - a questionable referee call or a victory celebration started a moment too soon? No one can really be certain but for all of us who play this game and experienced a similar hiccup, we can certainly relate sad to say. A valuable lesson not easily forgotten but that would surely pay dividends in the months to follow…

9. David Palmer Vs Graham Ryding (Free with package of 5 DVD purchase)

#1 ranked player in Canada since Jonathon Power’s retirement last year, Graham had the crowd’s undivided attention, finally; and short of a small detail, he gave them what they had come for - a great fight. Maybe as a result of the years he spent alongside Jonathon, Graham is a remarkably creative player. If it weren’t for occasional but chronic lapses in concentration during many of his career matches, he certainly has what it takes to be amongst the top 5 on the skill and fitness end of things.

But on this day, and in what could very well be his last Canadian Classic match, he was all business matching David shot for shot for well over an hour. Certainly one of the best ever for Graham and David on the attacking and retrieving end, and the event’s 2nd most emotionally charged given that Graham was the last Canadian standing.

10. Ramy Ashour Vs David Palmer (Free with package of 8 DVD purchase)

Ramy and David have held two of squash’s most prestigious title trophies above their heads, that of the world championships - one from the juniors and the other from the senior ranks. While we could have anticipated that David would draw on his vast experience to pressure his teen opponent, things just didn’t turn out as expected. David’s game is based on an overall simple but solid strategy; he sets up points by initially playing balls deep, then he cuts off most loose returns short using either ground strokes or delicate drop volleys.

Ramy’s game is quite similar to that of David but for 3 differences summarized in the same number of words; anticipation, instinct and speed. On this day at least he appeared to anticipate what David would do almost before he actually did it seemingly not by analysing situations as much as by instinctively reacting to them, and sometime faster than the eye could see. One for the record and also for his opponents to study, assuming of course that they can figure out a plan that would counter-act this young man’s instinct and natural speed, not to mention his drive and ambition.

PACE Canadian Squash Classic 2006 From the 11 matches that were captured to film for this event, only four made their way to our editing suites All four were recorded in tight close-up fashion using five broadcast cameras and eight distinct soundtracks All encoded in crystal clear high-definition Slow motion replays where you want them DVD menu navigation from game to game and a best rallies features (DVD #4 Only) Ex-World #4 Martin Heath teams up with veteran commentator Vic Rauter for these matches. (To the exception of that which features B. Golan and G. Ryding at #2 since our commentators had not reached the venue at the time this match was recorded)

For a while now, we’ve been writing about the eminent “changing of the guard” at the top of the men’s world ranking…well since Jonathon Power and Peter Nicol have now decided to retire from the tour a few weeks after this event was played, that time has come. But even without Jon & Peter in the mix, the shifts in ranking positions at the top will surely continue to be as volatile as ever; a player ranked first one month could very well be 6th the next. The young players featured in these matches compete to push the masters over the edge and into the double digits ranking points, well at least those who haven’t yet retired. Meet the new challengers who for the first time are taking center stage at the John Basset Hall in Toronto, and more importantly a place in squash history. Here as follows are the four featured matches captured for DVD: Jonathon Power Vs Gregory Gaultier: Power was pushed to the limit by this young Frenchman who, together with James Willstrop, is seen by many as the next #1 in a not too distant future. One story that the current world ranking doesn’t tell us is that Gregory has not yet lost to James in their many encounters over the years, however James has made it to the #2 position just recently… One thing is certain: if Greg and James make it to the top and if their rivalry is anything close to that of Power & Nicol, then we’re in for a treat. Gaultier played attacking squash from start to finish by bringing Power to the front whenever he could - a tactic not used by many as most fear Power's devastating counter attacks in front court territory… But Gaultier did this with confidence, and that is a definite sign of great things to come from this young man. A great clash between players of similar styles and attitudes as both despise losing any point, especially those decided by referees…  Graham Ryding Vs Borja Golan: Ryding, the Canadian veteran who just a few months back had beaten Shabana, Matthew, Nicol and had fallen just 2 points short of making the finals of the World Open 04 against Lincou is a player that poses a real threat to anyone he faces on tour. Leading to the event, the Canadian national media had built a story around Graham and on the prospect that he could face and possibly finally beat his friend who’s now world #1 - Jonathon Power, the man he’s been chasing around the globe throughout his career… Through the “luck” of the draw Graham could play him in front of his home crowd in the round that followed this one… But first things first – he had to get passed an up-and-coming Spanish prodigy whose quickness and mental sharpness strangely resembles that of his famous countryman tennis star Rafael Nadal. Looking sharp from the top of the match, Ryding took a quick lead then lost it but got it back again… 70 minutes later he was still trading shot for shot & point for point with a determined Borja…The acoustics within the JB Hall were so amazing that the only sounds you could hear from that point on and to the conclusion of the match were that of the ball being struck to the wall and the journalists beating the unfolding story furiously onto their keyboards...if anyone was breathing within the venue -- we couldn't tell. Karim Darwish Vs Mohammed Abbas: Two players who know each others’ game inside out since growing together within the same remarkable Egyptian squash training system. When mentioning ‘remarkable’ – Egyptian juniors won an impressive 6 of the 8 categories played at this year’s prestigious British Junior Open. If this is a sign of things to come in the senior ranks in a few years, well the rest of the world could be in serious trouble…    For now however, Shabana leads the way for his country followed closely by our two featured players - Darwish & Abbas, then by El Hindi and the young rising star BJO Champion and already top 30 in the world, Ramy Ashour - talk about credential for the Egyptian federation… What you can expect to see from this fantastic encounter is an extraordinary array of attacks whether with great volleys and nicks, or feather touch drops, this is your Egyptian prescription for grade A squash entertainment. Amr Shabana Vs Wael El Hindi:    It’s another real treat to watch two great players attacking the front part of the court with such confidence and efficiency. Shabana is at his peak; he’s quicker and more deceptive than ever… would it be that his manager and friend Jonathon Power is starting to rub off on him? If so, then it’s nice to know that someone with younger legs will continue to entertain us the way the ‘master’ did so well over the years. Wael has already beaten Amr and other top players such as Matthew, Ricketts and Ryding in the past so trust that he has what it takes to beat any top 10 players at anytime.  He’s an incredible cat-like mover for an athlete his size, but then again so is Amr… Just sit back and savour this fantastic match.

PACE Canadian Squash Classic 2004 Complete version of the event’s best 5 matches on crisp DVD images and Surround Sound 5.1.

DVD menu navigation from game to game Commentators: Vic Rauter, Martin Heath, Steve Hall, Charles De Sainte-Marie and many more

Any one of the first 3 match selected here below could have been chosen as the event's top match, a dilemma surely, but all in all a very good thing. This was unquestionably the best matches combination witnessed in Toronto and possibly in any world class event since the YMG Capital Classic in 2001. Lincou had lost to Boswell in that event's qualifying round while Nicol Vs Power Vs Price, Beachill Vs Palmer had made it in the top selection of matches... 3 years later almost to the day, Thierry is the world.s top gun with all the others + Willstrop, Shabana, White, Ricketts, Darwish, Gauthier ++ breathing down his neck in hot pursuit. How fascinating and privileged we are to be treated to the best squash in the world once again by these champions of the past and those in the making. Jonathon Power Vs Anthony Ricketts Anthony "the ball hunter" Ricketts gave Jonathon Power all he had and more that evening. Very few players on the tour can match Anthony.s ferocious intensity rally after rally, so Power's holds and flicks would have to be on target if he had any hope to win. Anthony appeared back in top form since he came back in action the previous August following a 7 months absence from the tour having undergone knee surgery. If the forced rest was to produce a similar effect than that which saw Lincou spring to the top of the world ranking upon his return to action following his own prolonged absence from the tour due to a wrist injury, then this one looked most promising also. Lesson learned possibly here, a good rest from intense playing & training seems to produce interesting results. As we don.t usually disclose the outcome of the matches we distribute on SL for your viewing pleasure, we can report the following results but from another event, Anthony would go on to beat Jonathon in the Pakistan Open less than 3 weeks after this Toronto Classic and James Willstrop would end up beating Anthony in the final to take that title. The .Hunter. Vs .The Magician., enjoy this marathon match. Karim Darwish Vs Paul Price Karim's rise up the professional ranking since leaving the junior ranks has been equally as consistent as that of James Willstrop and Gregory Gauthier. Those 3 young players have taken the world by storm over the last 2 years, and they appear intent on writing their own chapters in the sport's history books. What a treat it is for us to follow them and the likes of Beachill, Palmer, Nicol and company these days, never really knowing who will walk away with an event title with any certainty. Darwish's shot making ability can probably be compared to that of the great Qamar Zaman from the Hunt and Jahangir era, and certainly to that of Amr Shabana and the Paul Price of our own modern times. "Please do not try this at home" would most likely be the advice of your local teaching professional on the high percentage risks Karim and Paul took shooting away at the nick time and time again and from impossible positions. Just for this one amazing match though, let's suspend all that is reasonable and what would be the right thing for us humans to do from a playing standpoint and enjoy the spectacle to its dramatic conclusion. Thierry Lincou Vs Jonathon Power Unquestionably the best court battle between these two great players. Heading into this match both were even at 2 victories a piece against one another since Thierry beat Jonathon for the first time just 18 months earlier in the QF of the ToC 03 event. When Jonathon is healthy and the stakes are high, watch out! The way he moved around the court during the full course of this match, and to the exception of a twitch or two here and there, all was perfectly fine with his body. The fact that he was playing in front of his home crowd and national TV was surely a motivating factor that helped make the stakes as high as could be for him no doubt. Jon had won this event 3 times in the last 4 years, and he was clearly determined to make this one the 4th if only he could beat just this one last opponent - Thierry "Mr consistency" Lincou himself. Thierry's ability to focus for the longest period during rallies is un-paralleled and only matched by his remarkable athleticism. Jonathon was at his best holding and flicking balls in unpredictable directions, but strangely Thierry appeared un-phased and was rarely out of position. Two weeks after this memorable Toronto encounter, Thierry would hold the World Championship Cup above his head for the first time. What a match this was. Graham Ryding Vs Joey Barrington Graham spent his entire junior and pro squash career in the shadow of his training partner fellow Canadian Jonathon Power, but it appears he's had it and wants out from under it at all cost before retiring from the tour. Trusting his extraordinary talent, speed and work ethics, he may very well succeed. Testimony to that is the fact barely 2 weeks following this match Graham went on to beat the awesome Peter Nicol in the quarters of the World Championship, falling just one point short from beating Thierry to earn a spot in the final of that most prestigious event. A new comer on the Pro scene was going to stand in his way on this winter Toronto night -- Joey Barrington, son of the legendary squash guru Jonah Barrington. Similarly to Graham, as if playing squash at this level wasn't difficult enough, Joey is also attempting to get out from under a star's shadow, and he may very well be on his way to accomplish just that. Joey is an intense competitor but so is Graham, and that was to produce a great battle that spilled way over the court area and even a generation as far as one of them was concerned. James Willstrop Vs Jonathon Power The skills and imagination of these two racquet artists in unequalled on the tour, so what a treat it was to watch them at work against one another in one of their rare encounter to date. James had beaten Jonathon earlier in the year in the Kuwait Open, and Jonathon needed to set the record straight to send James the clear signal that he wasn't quite ready to pass the "skill master's" torch on to him just yet. Having watched the young James give British Open title holder David Palmer and former world # 1 John White a run for their money earlier in the year during the Tournament of Champions 2004, it is obvious to everyone that if he stays healthy, James is bound to greatness. Attempting to describe what these two players can do with the ball is a futile effort and cannot do justice to their art, but I'll invite you to watch this one and the others in which they demonstrate their prowess.

A Jonathon Power feast also featuring John "powerhouse" White and World Champion & British Open titleholder David Palmer in historical matches played using the PAR to 15 scoring system for a last time in Toronto. While the new scoring system to 11 points recently introduced by the PSA may be what the game needed to be made more attractive for television, best of 5 games scored to 15 remains what true addicts of the sport will prefer and miss the most. Jonathon Power Vs John White Jonathon had lost his last 4 encounters Vs John in ranking Pro events and he was determined to end the streak, so what better place to do it than in front of his home crowd in Toronto. John often hits the ball with such force that it sends it spinning in unpredictable patterns, and this makes it very difficult for Jonathon to plant his feet as early as he likes to before proceeding with his trademark hold-drop-or-flick-deep stroke-making. John has been working hard for months on end with Scottish expert specialists who have done extensive physiological studies of his game to help improve it. Not focused on John alone, they also studied his opponents. games as well in an effort to discover weaknesses in them he could capitalize on. Well it appears that the exercise would soon pay off since John reached an all time career ranking of # 1 in the world three months after this Toronto match was played. And so the stage is set between two of the greatest players ever to set foot on a squash court, and the last they played using PAR to 15 scoring, a collection item no doubt. Jonathon Power Vs David Palmer David Palmer is not only one of the strongest player on the tour physically, he is also one of the steadiest mentally, and his countless pro tour titles and recent past # 1 ranking is testimony to that. He gives very few points to his opponents through unforced errors, and although his game is based mainly on .touring. his opponents to the 4 corners of the court, he is not afraid to go for low percentage shots as well. David had an easier match than Jonathon in the round that preceded this one, so if Jonathon was going to be a challenge to him that evening then he would have to bring his .A. game out and keep his fiery temper in check. A nail biting classic encounter that goes the distance.
