These video clips are designed to help players better understand lets, no-lets, strokes, and the key nuances of squash. Watch this second video clip between Diego Elias and Karim Gawad and see if you can can make the correct referee decision.
EXPLANATION: Please watch this video for the explanation of the decision…Elias hits a short shot, however it comes off the side wall back to the center of the court. The placement of Elias’ shot and his clear lack of effort to provide access put him the direct and only path for Gawad to reach and play the ball. Because the ref deemed Gawad could have reached the ball to make a good return, Elias is penalized with a stroke as a result of the placement of his shot and inability to provide that access.
