Nick Matthew won the 2012 British Open in three tight games over Ramy Ashour, who couldn’t quite muster one of his trademark comebacks. Ramy had been down 1-0 against James Willstrop in the semis, before putting together one of the most outrageous 3 game stretches of squash that I’ve ever seen. Here’s the highlight reel from the Willstrop-Ashour semifinal, which doesn’t even do it full justice. You can subscribe to Squash TV through my affiliate link to watch the full match replay.

This was a great tournament all around, chock full of exciting matches. One nice thing about this tournament being over is I’ll finally be able to get some work done.
The Asics Gel Blade 3 squash shoes are the latest iteration of the Asics Gel Blade series that are much-loved by squash players. 
I first noticed these on Tom Richards, who wore them during the British Open. Here’s a decent shot of Tom wearing the shoes in his second round match with Nick Matthew:

Video the USA’s Amanda Sobhy versus England’s Jenny Duncalf in the first round of the 2011 US Open. The video shows a portion of the match, which Duncalf won 3-0 en route to the semifinals.
Here’s another photo by Jordan Mansfield from the British Open showing Englishman Jonathan Kemp’s squash racket and shoes. Looks like he’s playing with the Dunlop Biomimetic Elite, and he wears the “sharp blue” style of Adidas Stabil Optifit squash shoes.
This photo by Jordan Mansfield from the SquashTV Facebook page shows Miguel Angel Rodriguez’s squash equipment pretty well. He’s using the Technifibre Carboflex 130 squash racket and Asics Gel Blast 3 shoes. That must be how he gets off those incredible dives. Jonathan Kemp had a way of neutralizing Rodrgiguez’s dives in the British Open — an (accidental) knee to Rodriguez’s calf.
