Darwish races to the biggest prize of
all
 Five
points was all it took for Karim Darwish to claim the
biggest-ever top prize for a squash competition when the Red
Bull sponsored world number three beat Ramy Ashour
5/4 in the "sudden death" final of the Red Bull Squash
Temple in front on the famous temple in Luxor.
After two days of pool matches, each match just one game to
11 points, it was the top three Egyptians Darwish, Ashour
and Amr Shabana, plus Australian David Palmer
who progressed to the semi-finals.
James Willstrop, Daryl Selby, Thierry Lincou and Amr
Khaled Khalifa, having failed to reach the semi-finals
were left with $5,000 each while the semi-finalists knew
that losing would earn them $10,000, but victory would bring
at least $20,000 and hopefully $40,000.
Darwish made quick work of double world champion Palmer with
a 5/1 win, while Ashour beat reigning world champion Shabana
5/3 to set up the dream final.
It went all the way too, and at four-all both knew that the
next point was worth $20,000 ... you know the rest.
