Today I hit a squash ball for the first time in 43 days (since the Blackball final).
And that feel, just how much I miss it, reminded me exactly how much I love LOVE this game ♥️
If you think your sport is cool, think again.
Two tournaments are happening at the moment on the

One tweet for 3 greats of the game retiring on the same day? Absolutely unfair. But not even a million words would do them justice.
Thank you for making our sport a better place.

Big shoes to fill for the men this week after the women raised the bar big time with the standard of squash.
Now that I can say it freely without sounding biased, the women's game has risen 100 folds in the last couple of years.
Hats off.

Doesn't matter which team you support. Doesn't matter if you watch football. Doesn't even matter if you watch sport at all.
You've just got to RESPECT this team.
What a night.

The squash world is truly fortunate to have witnessed and to have someone to look up such as

Thank you for making our sport proud!
Bad days at the office do happen. And you don't deserve to be at the top one day if you don't go through them. Not just one. Not just two. But MANY of them.
