Ex-world number one, John White, once complained that one of his big rivals over the years (no names) did not play a clean game of squash at all. He (John) would get quite animated in his portrayals of the movement patterns and deliberate blocking tactics that this arch enemy frequently employed. David Palmer also displayed similar unhappiness with the body movements of his semi-final opponent in the Tournament of Champions last year. I know exactly what they were on about.

Lessons From The US Open
Picture this early-fall scene: an all-glass court, surrounded by stadium seating overlooking Lake Michigan. Chicago got the treat of five days of world-class squash this September when the Professional Squash Association put the US Open on full display in front of the city.
Rising to the top of a draw of 16 was hot talent Ramy Ashour and his fellow Egyptian and longtime world champ Amr Shabana. It was a thrilling finals match; these guys are two of the finest shot-makers from a country that produces nothing but shot-makers, and in this game their abilities were on full display.
