Ali Farag is not just a former World #1, he’s one of the fairest, consistent and amazing players to watch on tour for the past 12 years now.
So, what makes Farag so consistent and difficult to play? Among many great aspects of his game, his movement is efficient, he anticipates extremely well, and his one court awareness is second-to-none.
The video below focuses on Farag’s awareness. Using a specific example of traditional “bad length”, Ahad explains the true definition of “good length”. It isn’t the conventional idea of the ball being glued to the side wall. Ali’s explanation will be an eye-opening revelation for most recreational and competitive players.

As we cover in our Successful Squash Strategies Program, your on-court performance is as much about your mental approach to the games as it is about your physical prowess. At the very top of the game, all the players can move and hit the ball. HOW they do that is what separates them and Ali Farag’s approach is a unique champion’s perspective.
