Video of Willstrop and Matthew From the Front Wall

Thanks to Daily Squash Report for linking to Steve Cubs’ video of James Willstrop and Nick Matthew at the 2013 British Nationals. Nick Matthew won the match in 3 to become 5-time British national champ.

It’s a rare treat to watch an extended squash video from the front wall like this. Enjoy:

Update: Steve also captured the epic fifth game of the finals between Laura Massaro and Alison Waters, which Alison won to become 3-time British national champion:

He’s wearing his new Hi-Tec Infinity Flare shoes. He actually started off the match wearing his old shoes, the Hi-Tec S701 4SYS. But after the first game he was treated for blisters on his feet, and when he came back on court he was wearing the Infinty Flares.

Nick Matthew Squash Videos

Nick Matthew first reached #1 in the world rankings in June, 2010. He has won the World Open twice and the British Open three times. I think it’s about time I created a videos and links page for the man from Sheffield, no?
