Today we're hosting first ever PSA tournament in Siberia (that's just a Satellite but that's just a beginning). I'm playing too and during the day my strain put me to the 1st place of all whoop users who play squash

My comments on the Egyptian Open final

Quick aside on Asal: I am not an Asal fan and I deplore his blocking tactics, but the way he handled his defeat today was mature and graceful. I'm convinced that he is a decently likeable person outside the court, but we clearly need to give him some form of punishment to stop him from grabbing hands and cheating.

I actually only watched the 5th set so I can't say much about what happened, but Elias's counter drops are a different level. In the 5th set Asal fed him multiple drops glued to the wall, only for Elias to counter drop it with the same exactly precision. I believe it is one of the reasons why Elias won. What are your guys' thoughts? Do you think Asal played a dirty or fair game in the final?

Orfi has been winning and winning convincingly. Anyone want to explain how she beat Gohar and Hammamy (3-0) in the Egyptian Open? I am trying to understand what enables her to beat such established players.

Anyone know what was the incident(s) that Bill Buckingham & Paul Johnson were referring to here (about 1h in), something about Joey Barrington being attacked online, and closing his account for a while? https://open.spotify.com/episode/3qZMEE0f0B6SbgtEojbhaF?si=60b0fe24816c40eb

Presumably a Facebook thing

Any thoughtful comparisons would be appreciated.

Currently going through a GPP phase for our training block. We lift twice a week for the year and it’s full body.

He's lazy. In the pre game show they were talking about practice and someone mentioned why Asal doesn't go all out like some others and other commentators (Jana?) said "maybe he's lazy". Then it clicked, that's why he cheats, that's why he retires, that's why he fakes injuries, he's lazy. He wants to go home and play FIFA. If he wasn't lazy he'd lose a lot of his matches in the fifth.
