There has been a real buzz around The Queen’s Club these last couple of days. For a brief time at least, squash has replaced its more famous racket sport tennis as the game on people’s lips.
It is not every day that the eight best players in the world grace your club and the manner in which these guys compete is an example to us all.
The “Voice of Squash” Robert Edwards made the point during his post match interviews with Wael El Hindi and Gregory Gaultier. The two great pals and training partners had briefly left their friendship outside the court, but the mutual respect and praise for each other’s good shots was clear to see.
Edwards said the conduct of the two players, and that of the other great players in the game, was a wonderful example to any children watching of how sport should be played.
