THIERRY
BACK ON TOP...
 A
quick little report before I type Thierry's after match interview, but
from my point of view, from the other side of a scoreboard
(and you thought you had a sad life), I feel that this was a match too
far for our Kid...
Yes, Greg had an easier ride all way
through the tournament, and really had one tough match only yesterday
against Flash Ramy. But still, he is not a SuperHumanSuperKiddo, he was
bound to tire at some point after his exploits in Boston only days ago.
And it probably happened in the middle of the third...
Surprisingly enough, it's Lincou that drew first blood by taking the
first game,
which
seemed to have short rallies. A long stagnation at 8/8,
and Thierry just flies off with the game 11/8.
 The
rallies of the second seem to last longer, up to 5/5, but this time,
it's young Greg who
takes the lead and won't let go before he takes the
game 11/6.
And that's
about it really, point wise. From 2/2 in the third, Thierry
will string the points to take the game, and will take an excellent start in
the fourth, 4/1.
Greg, as ever, a dog with a bone, won't let go, digs in,
and equalises, 4/4. 5/5. But the effort he has to produce must have
emptied the last reserves. Thierry wins his second consecutive Pakistan
title.
But more important, he re-establishes himself
on the map. Had he lost yet again to his young
competitor/friend, he may have struggled mentally to find his marks on
the world scene... |
"I'm tired and I want to
go back to France. It's not that I played badly, but I was not at my top
both mentally and physically. Playing 10 matches in a row is not that
easy...
"Still, it's a very positive result, although I'm obviously disappointed
not to win this title. But I'm going to have a good rest and hoping for
a great result in Saudi."

THIERRY AFTER THE
FINAL |
 |
 "Greg
was tired, which is not really surprising after his match yesterday. He
lacked sharpness, which makes it mentally hard to stay aggressive and
consistent.
"Now if you want to compare it to our encounter of a few days ago in
Boston, where he made very few unforced errors, where he didn’t give me
any points, anything really, today he made some uncharacteristic errors,
and I took the chances he was offering me.
"I stuck to my game plan, which was volleying more, more enterprising and
especially, especially, to taking a good start! I really was willing to
play a good match, to get on court with a positive frame of mind, to
fight a tough final, and to stick to my game plan while cutting down on
my unforced errors.
"So, overall, maybe I made a few less mistakes, he made a few more, the
physical state also played a role, and maybe this time I was a bit more
hungry for victory than he was, and there you go… Once again, it could
have gone either way…
"As far as my neck is concerned, it’s still a bit stiff, I need to warm
up a lot for it to start loosening up, and my backhand is a bit limited,
but honestly, I didn’t think about it at all, I was so into the match..
 "Greg
and I are going to play each other more and more often. So, it’s
important to differentiate. We had another all French final, which is
very satisfying for everybody, but from a personal point of view, I’m
rather happy to keep my title, as there are not many who’ve done it here,
in Pakistan.
"And also, very happy to win my fourth title of the year, along with my
British Open Final, it’s really a very positive outcome. It gives me the
will, actually no, it shows me I still have the will to play.
"And as long as I have that, I’ll go on playing. I always have as much
pleasure to play squash as I ever had…"

"LES BLEUS" IN THE FINAL...
 When
this tournament started, I must say I didn't expect to see Gregory
Gaultier in the final of the Pakistan Open, that's for sure. But he
made it, and dug in very deep today to beat Flash Ramy Ashour in
a gruelling encounter which shows both players' impressive determination
and guts.
Greg seemed to be walking away with the match, 2/0, but maybe the amount
of court time spent in the past weeks have started to show, and Ramy was
able to come back rather quickly to 2/2.
 The
fifth saw a perfect start for the Frenchman, 7/0. But Ramy, yet again, dug
in and came back to threaten Greg 9/8. But it was not to be for the
Egyptian this time, and the French number
two is about to meet his team
mate in a final of a major for the second time this year.
For Thierry Lincou it was a shorter encounter. After losing his
legendary first game, he imposed himself on Karim Darwish for the
next two games, until an ill Egyptian retired in the fourth...
So, am I allowed a little "cocorico"... or as you say in your
beautiful language of yours... cock-a-doodle-doo..? |
 |
|
 |
 When
I arrived here, I was knackered. Absolutely dead. But I forced myself to
get back into it right away. I didn’t have much left in the legs, and I
had trouble finding my game, but as my opponents in the first two rounds
didn’t hold the rallies too long, and as yesterday Shabana was ill, I
had the time to recuperate…
Today was a big match. A very very very big match, all
the rallies, and from both of us. At the start, I was well in control,
we were playing very fast, and I thought that he would mentally crack up
at 2/0. But on the contrary, he came back with a vengeance, full blown.
In the third, I tried to give it a last big push to win in three, and
that’s why I tried to come back in the game, but at 8/5, I made two
stupid unforced errors, and he took the game.
 In
the fourth he is now very confident, all his shots are coming in nicely,
thank you, he plays very fast, and I can’t do much. But in the fifth, I
take a great start, I lead comfortably 7/0,I had the next point won,
which would give me a 8/0 lead, but I go and …
mess it up big time. It gives him confidence, and he starts coming back,
gets some good winners, and we are now at 7/7.
Then, it’s his turn to make a big error, 8/8. At that point, I get two
short backhand shots, match ball for me. And on his way to pick up a
difficult shot at the front of the court, he drops his racquet, picks it
up again, but he is late to come back, and I’m able to finish the point
and match with a crosscourt.
It was a very tough match, very tough indeed, for both of us. We played
at a very fast pace… A match played by two lunatics really…
|

 |
CHRISTMAS COMING UP...?
You can feel that the players are tired in this end
of the year... After Amr retiring yesterday with a
stomach upset, it was Karim's turn today. And Thierry doesn't feel that good either, bit of
a neck
injury.
Not to mention I'm pretty sure that Greg will be
feeling absolutely knackered after being in his second final in a row,
with a nice 10 hours time difference....
Ah, a squash player's life, the travelling, the glamour... |
 AFTER
THE BRITISH…
After that
tournament, I was very tired indeed, I had no motivation, and for a
week, I was exhausted both mentally and physically.
If you add that
we had been playing on month of tournaments non stop, it was a lot
spent
on court… On top of that, my
dissertation for my Masters was due, so I had to work on my computer non
stop for a week, then on and off for the next two weeks. I was training,
then working, thinking about it on a constant basis. I just passed the
final oral exam, the “soutenance”, and it’s now all finished. But it was
a lot on my mind, and I probably was less focused on my training.
HONG KONG
I lost against Ramy in the second round, he just outclassed me, pure and
simple. He played, well, like he does with everybody really! I was not
expecting it, I was taken out of guard, once again a bit like the
others, and he beats me because I’m not good enough that day. I still
tried and fought until the end, there was a tie-break in the fourth I
think to remember. But overall, on that match, he took me to the throat,
and never let go. So, a second round in Hong Kong was not the result I
hoped for…
 US
OPEN
I
was happy to get to the
quarters, well, happy is a matter of speech… I was happy to beat Boswell
and play the quarters, but Greg got my number there yet again! Those two
youngsters, Greg and Ramy, are in a fatuous period, confidence is there,
they have the hunger, the youth, the will, and they are hurting, they
are biting hard. And it’s very hard to try and stop them, I tell you..
Greg won because he was a better player that day, he played extremely
well, a very “full” performance. Mind you, it was bound to happen, it
had always been close between us, it could have been going either way
each time, and it was getting closer and closer. And that day, bing, it
tipped… And after that, he wins the tournament, so obviously, there was
a sort of click in the head. That’s good. He is confirming and signing.
Plus, he is very strong physically now, he is able to play one match
after the other, he is more constant, and can reiterate the
performances. He is going strong at the moment…
 PAKISTAN
Coming here is always tough for us, you’ve got to be very strong
mentally, and when it comes to food, it’s a bit of luck really. We try
and eat pastas, rice, grilled chicken, stay simple. And also, there is
not much for us to do, we are advised not to go out of the hotel, so
you’ve got to deal with that as well…
Today, I think that Karim was tired and ill, not sure what he had
exactly, but he was really not feeling well. But I’m feeling better and
better. The more I play, the better I feel. Only a bad case of a stiff
neck for the past 2 days, and we don’t have access to an osteopath, so
I’ve got to deal with it. And already everybody knows I’m no great
starter anyway, but my first games have really been catastrophic for the
past two rounds. I can’t see the ball to start with, can’t turn my head,
so I’m rather limited. But it goes away as the match goes along.
And as for tomorrow, Greg and I are going to give each other hell, as
ever…

DISPUTED 3, EASY 1....
Apart from a last match where a
Shabana suffering from an upset stomach couldn't really defend his
chances against Greg Gaultier (a bit the reverse from Hong Kong, where
it was the Frenchman who had to abandon
through
injury), the others matches were extremely hard battles.
We had not only the PSF live scoreboard, but also the help of
Renan Lavigne, who watched the matches and sent me reports in French
that I adapted in English. Not as good as being there, but that will do
for now... |
KARIM WINS A
TOUGH ONE....
Just looking at the score between Karim Darwish and James Willstrop, you can see this was an Homeric battle. They
went and picked up everything, especially at the front, retrieving all
that the other could throw at them. In the third, Karim seemed in control 9/7
but James came back in a flash and seized the game to get the lead 2/1,
but not for long, as the Egyptian would then take the only “no
tie-break” game to force a decider.
After a good start from James in the fifth, Karim clawed back to equalise
at 6/6, then 10/10. A long rally on the left side of the court. Karim
volleys crosscourt, but misses the nick. James a bit too imprecise on
the counterattack. Stroke against James. Match ball.
Karim seems out of his depth in the rally, but James, as he was going to
conclude, puts the ball in the middle. Karim is standing just behind him.
Obvious stroke. Match to Karim.
The Egyptian has transformed his first match ball. The Englishman didn’t
transform his. Karim stayed some long minutes sitting next to the court.
Recovering? Enjoying? James for his part, left the arena without a word,
but a few minutes later, came back to coach his mate Anthony Ricketts… |
“It was a tough match and I am
happy that I have
beaten a player like James,
who
is ranked as one of
the best players on the tour.
I have high hopes from
this event and
want to carry on the good work to fulfil my dreams of
winning the world
crown in the next couple of years”
 |

 |
RAMY YET AGAIN....
As was to be expected, those two played at 200 mph, and in the first
game, it was always Ramy Ashour who had the last word. Anthony
Ricketts likes to play it
quick, to take the ball early, but he’ll have to slow down and vary more
the rhythm. Then again, easy said…
In the second, Anthony takes more control of the T in slowing down
against the side walls, forcing Ramy to pick up the ball in the back,
and preventing him from volleying. And it pays. Ramy will put his two
last shots in the tin, allowing the Australian to come back 1/1.
Very good start for the Egyptian in the third, 4/0, but Anthony is like a
dog with a bone. Lots of winners and strokes. The atmosphere starts to
be a be tense. The pace is so fast, but it’s Ramy that comes on top at
the end of that game. And thanks to a return of serve in the tin from
Anthony, Ramy is now well in front 2/1.
The fourth will be about the same style. So many winners. Ramy attacking
and Anthony not giving up an inch. But this time, at 9/7 for the
Egyptian, it’s Anthony that’s going to find the tin twice in a row.
Ramy is in the semi…
Renan concludes by saying that it was an equal game, Anthony played shot
for shot with Ramy, but just made a few more errors at the crucial
times. But then again, because of the Egyptian’s pace, his opponents
find themselves under extreme pressure…. |
ANOTHER CLOSE ENCOUNTER…
 Renan
was obviously going to watch that one now closely, wasn’t he…
As if Thierry Lincou had been watching the match before his (Ramy/Anthony)
– although we know it’s not the case, as he hardly does – he decided to
start with a very high pace, which led to imprecision and errors.
Stewart Boswell, as a metronome, was distributing his heavy shots,
and matched Thierry’s pace to finally win the first game.
In the second, the Frenchman changed his strategy, varied the pace more,
and took a quick start, but Bozza was matching him point for point, and
spent an enormous amount of energy to stick to Thierry scorewise.
Efforts that he paid for quickly by making a few costly errors. But still,
he came back from 10/8 to 10/10 with two great rallies. Thierry, as he
often does, felt the danger, dug in, and took the second 3-1 in the
tie-break.
 The
third and the fourth looked terribly alike. Thierry was leading, but
Stewart never let go, and was constantly clawing back. At the end of
each game, Thierry found each time a few good winners. Although
obviously very tired, Stewart only let the third go 11/9.
After a very close game, 2/2, 3/3, 6/6, 8/8, at 9/8 in the fourth Thierry
offered a nice gift to his opponent, a tin whereas he only had to drop
the ball at the front, Stewart having stayed well in the back.
The two players enjoyed a little rest as the court was swept for sweat,
and two enormous rallies later, Thierry was able to wrong foot this
opponent one last time with a perfect crosscourt to reach the
semi-finals. |
 |
 "I
played a good match, but not more than that
really.
"I thought that Joey played very well, considering the hard match he
played yesterday."
 |
"I was terrible. He picked
up what I thought were some dodgy balls and I got unhappy that the ref
didn't notice. I lost it a bit which isn't good.
"I was glad to get the win though because it was dire stuff for the most
part."
 |
|
22-Nov: Second Round
NEARLY
LIVE...
Thanks to the PSF official website, I was, like most of you I'm sure,
able to follow most of the match "live" thanks to their perfectly
updated live scoreboard.
 It
was quite practical I must say, apart from Thierry Lincou's
match, where I thought Marathon Man was going to make the performance of his
life as we had Joey Barrington leading 2/0 and 10/6 "match ball
to Joey".
Only to realise that whoever was doing the scoreboard was guilty of a
mistaken identity, and had been following the whole match with the wrong
name.
Mmmm. Well, he must have thought that Joey looked more like a
number 2 seed than Thierry...
 The
rest of the day went according to seeding, although the match between
James Willstrop and Aamir Atlas Khan was no walk in the park,
and was a bit rocky with the ref according to James. Forgetting about
the ref thingy, I wasn't there, so I cannot possibly comment, and
without the input of Aamir, it would be plain unfair. In
my eyes, Aamir represents Pakistan's near future. He is fast, precise,
determined and willing.
The rest is up to him... |
THE EGYPTIAN CORNER
Amr Shabana's score is much closer, Davide
Bianchetti has been improving since training
regularly with Marcus Berrett. Ramy Ashour had an easier ride
against compatriot Wael El Hindi than Karim Darwish had
against other Egyptian Mohamed Abbas. Karim will be happy with a
four game win. Abbas is coming up strongly at the moment. Watch out, he
just needs a bit of confidence and self belief...
THE REST OF THE WORLD...
Greg Gaultier really didn't
feel threatened today against Mansoor Zaman, surely. Although
Pakistan is famous to add game times and not calculate a match length
from start to finish as we normally tend to do, a 19 minute match is
still a very short encounter...
Anthony Ricketts
didn't have too many troubles against surprise
Frenchman Renan Lavigne, and it was just what the doctor ordered
for Anthony, not too close, but still a good stretch of the legs.... And
to finish, a good performance from Shahid Zaman, who always
always gives his 150% when at home. He made Stewart
Boswell work hard for his money, but not enough
to cause any fitness trouble to the Australian tomorrow...
THE
QUARTERS...
If you want to predict winners, people, be my guests! There are so many
"revenge matches", Anthony vs Ramy,
from the US Open, Shabana/Greg,
the Worlds in Cairo and the final of the US a few days ago, Karim/James,
last time those two played was in Hong Kong, a 3/0 victory to the
Englishman, and Thierry/Bozza, again last week in the US Open.
Your guess is as good as mine.... |
 "It
was a good game from us both. Felt the court better than the first match
and looking forward to playing a good game
tomorrow"
 |
 "Apart
from the first game, I made far too many mistakes in the second and
third whereas I was actually creating opportunities...
I couldn't get a drop shot in, it's a shame, but you've got days like
that....
Gives me the kick to go back on court right away and work on why it
didn't work today..."

21-Nov: First Round
RENAN
AND AAMIR
THE ONLY SURPRISES...
Well, no, I'm not in Pakistan as I intended to be, but I'm still
going to try and report about it, with the help of the players out
there, who are sending me news...
Yesterday started with a beautiful ceremony as only the Pakistanis can
do, with the new Pakistani Federation present, and the two legends that
are King Jahangir and Prince Jansher Khan...
And I missed it. Blast!
FIRST DAY
Anyway, it all went according to plan for Shabana, Greg Gaultier and Ramy Ashour who won easily in
three. Also to be noted, a 3/0 victory
from Wael El Hindi over Ali Walker, the young English
player who keeps knocking at the door, and trust me, it will eventually
open for
him
...
For Davide Bianchetti and Anthony Ricketts, it was just a
bit longer,
four games, against Amr Mansi and Omar Elbolorossy
respectively. Omar, Shabana's brother in law and manager, must be
happy to be back on the circuit and coming back towards his best level of
world 15.
 And
Mansoor Zaman will be glad/relieved to have won 3/0 against
dangerous Egyptian Omar Abdel Aziz, as the Pakistani has
been under heavy criticism at
home for his lack of results...
The surprise of the day
came from my compatriot Renan Lavigne who defeated
once again Australian twelfth seed
Cameron Pilley in straight games, confirming his victory in the English
Open earlier this year.
 One
little surprise that threw us all, was that Karim Darwish and
Shamsul Islam actually played on the first day, whereas they were
supposed to play only today.
Well, it was for the best of reasons, the Pakistani was actually getting
married, bless him.All our best wishes from all at SquashSite.... |
|
|
2005 Event
|
 SECOND
DAY
The only upset of the day would come quite logically if you think about
it, as the Pakistani players seem to get a real lift from playing at
home, from young Aamir Atlas Khan, who despatched
Malaysia's Azlan Iskandar, the tenth seed in four games.
Of course, our Marathon Man Joey Barrington had to play
five
against determined Indian Saurav Ghosal, it was a titanic battle
I was told. And Shahid Zaman has at last finished a match, and
beat compatriot young Yasir Butt in a five setter that lasted
half the time of Joey's, by the way...
Thierry Lincou, Stewart Boswell, James Willstrop
and Gentleman Abbas won "tranquille",
as we say in my language, no sweat
in yours.... |
NEXT ROUND...
We'll have a few surprising matches, like Anthony v Renan, that
could be a long match, and Aamir v James, that could be a short
one!
And as ever, some brotherly matches, this time, they are Egyptian, with
Ramy playing Wael, and Karim v Abbas.
So unhappy to miss it all...

2004
Event |
 Heading East ..
19-Nov: Qualifying Finals Results
Most of the world's top players left Boston and headed East to Islamabad
for another Super Series event, the $85k Warid Pakistan Open.
World
number one Amr Shabana is top seed, and a meeting with Gregory
Gaultier, who bt the Egyptian in the Boston final, looks set for as early
as the quarter-finals. Another Boston repeat looks on the cards with
Ramy Ashour and Anthony Ricketts also lined up for a
quarter-final meeting.
In the bottom half defending champion Thierry Lincou looks to have
an easier route to the final, but Stewart Boswell, his prospective
quarter-final opponent, will be no pushover, and if all goes to seeding
2004 champion James Willstrop would lie in wait in the semis,
should the injury he sustained in Boston clear up in time for him to
overcome Karim Darwish in the quarters.
Home hopes rest on cousins Mansoor and Shahid Zaman and rising star
Aamir Atlas Khan, who are likely to be joined by several Pakistanis
from the qualifying competition which started on Saturday 18th .. |
