Wael is easy to recognize on court, he dresses differently and plays differently than most of his peers. He fights as hard for every inch of space on court as he does in an argument with referees on questionable calls or with tour managers on questionable administration policies. Many say of Wael that he has all that it takes to become # 1 in the world; well he’d have a chance to prove how he can do it tonight vs the man himself. On the clothing end Amr keeps things a notch below Wael, but he certainly is a match to him on the mind’s and convictions’ end saying what he thinks if & when he believes it’s the right thing to do. Watching what he does with the ball at the end of game 3 in this match when he heard from the crowd’s reaction to a giant screen slow-motion replay that the referee had made a mistake on a pick up call says it all on the man’s character. And what to say about his magic hands and crazy artistry… not too many players on tour can put the ball away repeatedly in dead nics as he does each time making it appear as if it was by fluke and purely accidental. Only once he’s done this over & over in a single game do we realize that none of it is accidental, not a human being alive can be that fast. What he does may be instinctive and somewhat magical, but it’s surely not accidental!

Karim and Ramy were tied at 2-2 in head-to-head tour encounters before this match was played, so despite the media hype that put Ramy as the favourite tonight, Karim wasn’t at all intimidated. That they play and train together a good part of the year may of course have a lot to do with his disposition, all to our advantage as spectators of course. Karim is immensely skilful in the front part of the court, especially when he pulls ahead in the score as more often then not he strike the balls more fluidly and is more effective in his attacks then. How Ramy countered those attacks is not quite clear yet, and we probably won’t know for certain until we plant a Super-Slow 1000 frames-second camera behind the court that will help us figure how he does what he does - from grip, to racquet face opening, to execution. All we will be missing thereafter to get the complete picture on how he does what he does is a brain-scan and thought monitoring device and we’ll be set, unless of course he boggles up the analysis by re-inventing himself…

The one we’ve been waiting for so long in North America … # 1 vs # 2 in the world – the reigning World Champs Vs the next one in the making according to many. But that being written, be careful all readers, especially if you are a PSA tour player aspiring to win that same title and # 1 spot one day… and possibly by beating the very person everyone through should win it. Indeed the brain’s a delicate matter that can be moulded and programmed despite you being aware of it, even only through reading the words of a journalist and writer in a match review. Similarly to ranking positions that are put down on a draw sheet by a tournament organizer before the start of an event, everyone has a choice to believe in those rankings or not. If consciously or unconsciously a player chooses to believe that the ranking order on a draw sheet is where he belongs, what chances do you think he has to beat any higher ranked players? If on the other hand he chooses the pay no attention to that ranking then he gives himself an honest chance to win on merit rather than handing the victory over to his opponent often even before the first ball of the match is struck. Which brings us to the match confronting these two masters,  one was # 2 and the other #1 , one had everything to gain, the other everything to lose. # 2 started the match on fire, #1 well… not sure what happen to tell you honestly. Game 2 and the rest of the match was another matter though, this was a territorial battle you won’t forget.
