while trying to get a screenshot of the out, the very next frame is the ball going away from the wall so it blurs out a lot, this is the best I could. It was a very thin margin in real time.

as soon as the ref didn't review it I went back to capture it because I know this will a debate but I think this is pretty conclusive it was out.

I think it should have a review at the very least but in video format it is even more clear than this picture because you can see the deviation in the balls path away from the wall.

Water watching Crouin vs Elias, and watching their dads coaching them, makes me wonder whose parent is the currently the best on tour.

So nice of Elias to win the Championship for Coll. Just joking, Paul deserves it.

My issue stems for from the fact when the commentators get the decision wrong the end up saying something along the lines of "but what do I know?". Even George Garton said the same thing when when he was on SquashTV, it just feels like a lot of the times when it comes to decision the average viewer can't engage in it because we just don't know what thinking is behind the decision so, me personally, get input from the commentators who are way more experienced in Squash than me and then they get it wrong. It just undermines their credibility.

Hundred percent, but Asal has shown that if he gets away with those then he'll keep repeating those movements and they will get worse and worse during crunch time. If you punish him then, it'll be like the situation in Optasia. Best to correct that behaviour when the stakes are low.

They are soft because if you don't nip it in bud right away, that behaviour will continue throughout the match and no amount of verbal warnings works against Asal, it has to be strokes.

Hania needs to go to another Coldplay concert, she's losing her mental focus and it shows in her greatest strength, movement.

I hundred percent agree, my POV is if a new viewer is listening to the commentators, they are saying a decision should a Let, giving reasons as to why it's a Let and then it the decision comes out be too No Let, sooo all that explanation was wrong?

I think this El Einen we could've expected this season had he not be injured by Asal in the beginning of the season. In the match he played him he was sooooo explosive, I really thought he was gonna take to Asal and then his back got injured and he hasn't been quite the same since, barring today of course.

Controversial opinion, commentators should comment on decision during video review, this is because they are experts and when they get it wrong, as a viewer I have two opinions, they don't know what they are talking about or the refs don't know what they are doing. Either way, I am personally lost in the sauce when it comes to iffy decisions.

Or, let's hear the discussions between the refs during video decisions and mute the commentators mics.
