John White Vs Joe Kneipp
While John can generate more power striking balls than anyone on the tour, Joe on the other hand can counter-punch with flawless technique. Joe is in a class of his own and textbook perfect when it come to stroke execution, no wonder he.s made it into this select group of the world.s best performers on the tour in 2003. Joe and John have played each other since their junior years at age 7; unbelievably they are just about even in head to head matches, though Joe leads 4 to 3 in tour victories over John since 2000. Selected as the event.s best, this match will keep you on edge from start to its unbelievable conclusion.
- Thierry Lincou Vs Lee Beachill
Lincou and Beachill both aspire to dominate the men.s pro tour as Nicol and Power did since 1998. Thierry started 2004 in the top spot but Lee took it away from him towards the latter part of the year. Strangely, there are similarities of styles between the two pairs - Thierry is an amazing athlete; steady on his feet, he keeps his center of gravity lower than that of any other professional. Similarly to Peter, his ability to focus for the longest period of time without making errors is remarkable. Lee on the other hand is one of the most .deceptive. player there is, although maybe not in as flamboyant a style as Jonathon. It is practically impossible to predict whether he will play short or deep from an identical racquet preparation, especially on the backhand side, and what to say about his devastating forehand volley nics? Awesome. Thierry would need all of his attributes to resist Lee.s attacks on that night, and an unexpected element that came into play 3 days earlier would make this match a memorable one for Lee, and for everyone else present within Broadgate Arena and DVD viewers as well.
- Amr Shabana Vs Lee Beachill
"Shabana is the most skilful & accurate player on the tour today." These are Jonathon Power.s own word when talking about World Open Champion titleholder Amr Shabana. When he is on, he can strike at least 23 out of 25 balls from the back court area to dead roll nics near the front part of the court. Indeed Amr is an extraordinary player; surely he.s not your orthodox professional in the way he holds the racquet or in his shot selection, but his speed to the balls and flashes of brilliance in executions are flabbergasting. Lee was left shaking his head in disbelief and he was flat footed countless times on the night this match was played, but would it be enough for Amr?? Pure talent Vs formidable dexterity - entertainment at its best.
- Joe Kneipp Vs Thierry Lincou
Arguably the tour.s best 2 technicians faced one another in this classic confrontation; there isn.t a player around, whether pro or amateur, that can.t learn something from watching it. When talking about the kind of high percentage squash that can help you win matches often and consistently, this is the one to model after. Both players moved each other around the court from left to right - front to back in text book perfect patterns; little or no risk, but how efficient. A must for any serious students of the game.
- Thierry Lincou Vs Amr Shabana
World # 1 Vs World Open Championship title holder, both stepped on court to prove something to all those present that evening, and to each other of course .they were both there to make a statement that sounded much like the following given the intensity and speed at which the match was played . I AM THE BETTER PLAYER. Beat the World Champion -therefore you are (in a way), or beat world #1 and therefore worthy of that ranking position. Contrast of style to study, copy, or simply admire.
