Squash: J.P. Morgan Tournament of Champions 2020 - Men's Final - Momen v Mo.ElShorbagy

The beast of alexandra is back to take the no. 1 world ranking

Old goat?!!!
There are way better nicknames then these ridiculous names with smell of hate!
Congratulations M. Shorbagy, you really deserve to regain your No, 1 position. Salute you for your appreciation and love to your parent's, God bless you 🙌🏻

I like shorbhagy’s kit. You dont often see him winning without drama or controversy during a match. Clean match

good to see a basher and nick finder get the win!

Pretty cold hand shake, what happened?

After watching the match I have 2 questions: how can PSA verify a cramping situation and why was the ref told not to check on the injured player?

Elshobagy well deserved....

I watched the full watch and it’s very disappointing that squash is all about he decisions... I can feel for tarek here even though they don’t show the really poor decisions from the ref. All credit to shorbagy tho!

Que lástima que ninguno de los jugadores sea más efusivo con el público, y es bastante común ver que los oponentes tampoco demuestren respeto entre sí, los jugadores deberían considerarlo, asumir una actitud más promotora del deporte....y bien por la bestia de Alejandría...

This is why Squash is not olympic. Terrible referees.

Congratulations to El-Shorbagy! So happy for the beast to be back.

It’s crazy how Elshorbagy is 29 now. He’s been a tour for a min

Just 9 min
Next time please the entire match
Thanks cheers
But seeing Rodney...
Thanks

It was a shame that an otherwise very enjoyable tournament ended with a final that really only had a mix poor refereeing and some less than savoury gamesmanship as it's take aways. I'll just watch Asal v Gaultier again to cheer me up 😃

This final has been a bit underwhelming? Tbh the seedings early stages were terrible

"Rodney will have to get a fresh shirt for later!" 😂

Context on why Tarek was fuming and the handshake/slap for those who haven't seen the full match:
At a crucial point in the fourth (I think Shorbagy was 8-5 up) Shorbagy suddenly lay down and claimed a very questionable 3 minute injury break saying 'i felt something in my knee'. There didn't seem to be any collision or notable incident that might have explained this. PJ and Joey explained the rules state players are not allowed to claim an injury break for cramp and let's just say this was a suspicious injury break at best...
Tarek was understandably fuming and lost his head after that. In his post match interview he pointedly said that he doesn't want to comment on anything that happened during the match but he'll be back.

Why not even show the reason momen is mad? Makes him look like the bad guy for losing.

الف مليون مبروك يا شوربجي ومبروك الصدارة وهارد لك مؤمن .. شرفتوا مصر

Why does it seem that SquashTV never show any of El Shorbagy's questionable moments?
The injury timeout was a pivotal part of the match, so why leave it out?
In the women's final highlights El Sherbini's injury timeout was included.
Props to him for putting the work in and winning, but it often seems he resorts to using underhanded gamesmanship (or 'street smarts' as Joey and PJ like to call it), whenever a match gets tight.

Rosner will almost certainly win this final

The real shame is how lazily this highlight reel was put together compared to everything else in this tournament. Some really bad decisions leaving out several points and incidents here.

Elshorbagy is becoming a great statesman for the sport. I didn't used to like him but I guess that's because he's so good. He comes across as very humble and likeable these days. His squash style reminds me very much of Nick Matthew in terms of his fighting spirit. Well done for regaining world No.1

Elshorbagy is a little bitch, don’t fucking fake an injury if you’re about to cramp

Look at elshorbagy pictures holding the trophy. Everytime it's the same fake smile. Acting nice is for people who aren't really. A few others who made it to the top of the tree are a lot nicer personalities like Gawad, Willstrop, Momen. The few that really reach the highest like world open, british open sacrificed a lot . I guess being able to be genually nice is one of those sacrifices. They just do anything to win. I prefer to watch the nice guys. Marwan is also a great example. Finally : look at Tareks face when elshorbagy is being interviewed during the ceremony. He absolutely wants to smack mohamed in the face!

questions
Which governing body do the squash referees come under?
Who manages the referees?
Who's responsible for training referees?

What's with the grey bearded guy during the ceremony with his overly aggressive handshake with elshorbagy??! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

As much as these players are fantastic to watch and the Egyptians clearly lead the way in ability i really feel the English lads lead the way in attempting continuous play and make the matches more enjoyable to watch as a result. They need to stop looking for cheap easy points as half of the lets/strokes as much as they are questionable are making the game less attractive to watch, not such a great spectacle. This final was riddled with gameplay antics and a real turn off. Keep the game alive, get it into the Olympics and stop these ever increasing calls for lets/strokes, half of them can be played through IMHO, watch the Brits, they are leading the way in this. Well done shaggy but a little over done with the antics! See you in Chicago!

Momen was fishing on the third game

ElShorbaggy=cheat

ref's one sided decision + especially according to PJ, lee beechill not letting ref check elshorbagy's injury break about.... what was that management all about???

The ref royally stuffed up with that injury break that Shorbagy had.............hopefully the referees in future will not allow this to 'ever' happen again.......it is bad and is against the rules of the game.

That winning shot at 6-7 in the second game is one of the most beautiful shots I’ve ever seen.
