󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Makin v Coll 🇳🇿 | PSA Squash Tour Finals 2025-26 | QUARTER FINAL HIGHLIGHTS

[00:00:18]bloody work. Bloody work.

[00:00:20]>> Might have been a tactical thing from him, but I feel he was shying away from sticking on the straight drop.

[00:00:29]does a good job though of creeping over in this movement on the tea. Sometimes he's against certain players.

[00:00:35]>> Quite wondrous.

[00:00:38]>> Yeah, Melon now doing a good job of getting in front of Cole. He's adjusted his length. He's adjusted his patterns using height just to get those front positions.

[00:00:49]>> That's unbelievable. Lob.

[00:00:51]>> Well, it's the pace change. We saw the crosscourt nick which was a slow crosscourt >> 85 >> taking pace off the ball and now utilizing the lob and getting an outright winner.

[00:01:07]>> Oh, PO lost this but that was clever.

[00:01:09]That was clever. It was like >> whacking the ball if we wanted to >> use tennis as an example. Your opponents at the net absolutely walked it at him.

[00:01:18]>> Thank you. Thank you. court service, please.

[00:01:22]>> Saw exactly where he was. He lost his footing and then adjusted the racket face to nail cole saved. And now we're into game ball for both Min and Cole.

[00:01:36]>> This happens so often when these two play Joel M gets the lead and blows it.

[00:01:43]>> Or will he? Well, I mean this is >> he's not absolutely produced >> the softest hands ever.

[00:02:12]>> Oh, it's a lot of fun. play. I love the way he sinks. I mean, he's got such good flexibility to regroup for the third if it gets to around the seven point mark cuz it's a big way to come back with the way that Paul Cole's playing at the moment.

[00:02:25]>> That's a good call, Joey. Just goes against everything he stands for though, doesn't it?

[00:02:30]>> But he's got to, this is the thing, he's got to change that. He's got to be open-minded with this. Otherwise, it's it's just going to be a uh a drawn out saga and he's going to be on the losing side. He's just taken that point there.

[00:02:43]So, this is going to be it's a bit of a conundrum for him.

[00:02:47]>> Stall it even further >> coming from Cole, not from Min, interestingly enough.

[00:02:53]>> Go for the crosscourt neck there. I I do like >> I do like this what Min's trying to do though.

[00:02:59]>> We now looking to close out favorably.

[00:03:04]>> Joel Min had a 10- six scenario. ended up taking that first 1110 and out. One game ball saved.

[00:03:27]>> Oh, that's a lovely shot. Great shot.

[00:03:30]Nice variation against the goal. He really did show that he might go straight.

[00:03:53]Even more important now I feel that M uses that height. Oh, >> these are going in like an arrow.

[00:04:15]Yeah, that was very clever from Cole.

[00:04:17]All credit to Cole. The he hasn't got to his his brain.

[00:04:22]>> I mean, that's Jethro Bins there just fanning himself.

[00:04:40]That's a outrageous recovery from Cole.

[00:04:44]He's really hunting here. Making >> Yeah, well played. Just saw him just back off his movement a little bit. He's in a bit of pain here. Making Oh, I don't know how he's getting those back again. You see, there's a >> hand out.

[00:05:31]down >> 117's gone and it's not fatigued. The body is broken down.

[00:05:42]>> Yeah, that's what he's looking for.

[00:05:45]That's the one that he wants. Min's doing a good job actually not giving call too many opportunities to cut that cross onto the forehand side >> too often. But >> just one opportunity to put that ball in quick. Not a movement he wants to do.

[00:06:00]>> Self-inflicted injury. Has three minutes up to three minutes to recover.

[00:06:04]>> Unfortunately, we know that the 3 minutes is not going to be able to do anything for the battle hardened Welshman.

[00:06:13]>> The body was breaking down at the midstage of the third game.

[00:06:24]There was no treatment given in that injury break. There was no sort of exercises or soft tissue treatment.

[00:06:32]>> Damn.

[00:06:33]>> First point on the board. Here he comes again.

[00:06:40]>> First game was amazing. Just thinking back to that first game.

[00:06:45]Eight >> 8-2 match balls that have been >> hard earned.

[00:06:54]>> The first game between these two the best squash that we've seen >> in the tournament >> with the men and a great match though last night. So big shout out to them. It was a great match. But this was uh a very very fascinating and enjoyable encounter. Paul Coll has worked very very hard. He'll be very forthright in his interview as he always is.

[00:07:23]Joel Min get back get him get that body of his sorted out over this summer period and come back hopefully fresh and healthy for the new season. The defending champion is now out.
