Framboise Gommendy on the alien that is Ramy Ashour
After watching one of the most intense, inspiring matches yesterday, with who I believe to be the greatest squashplayer of all time, Ramy Ashour, I feel like I need to share squash with as many people as possible. People need to know of this sport, and of this player.
What we have witnessed over the last year is nothing less than superhuman. For someone to be injured and recovering 9 months of the year to play 2 of the biggest tournaments of the world, chop the world elite, and win it, with barely breaking a sweat (yes I know the finals were brutal 5 setters, but watch how Ramy moves in the first 2 rallies of the match versus the last 2 rallies of the match. no difference)
I do not know how I can describe what I just saw. So I will leave that to someone who can.
Here is the legend that is Fram. On the legend that is Ramy. The last 6 points.
Watch. Match. SquashTV!!!

kissing is bad for you
It has been diagnosed and confirmed. I just saw the doctor today, who received the result. I have acquired the Eppstein-Barr Virus since November 2014, and my body has been telling me for a long time to calm down, without me listening.
I have ignored the warnings and deteriorated month by month until it really knocked me on my ass in March.
It got topped off by another virus called cytomegalievirus. This one also result in fatigue and tiredness.
For the first time in since as long as I remember, I have been completely inactive. This is the 3d week, where I hav done absolutely NOTHING. Not nothing, like before Lotte Eriksen, with a light jog, light hit and a stretching session. really NOTHING. Eating and sleeping. And it is a weird feeling, I tell ya.
I told myself to wait at least 1 more week, before I try to do anything at all.
With kissing disease, it can take between 2 weeks to 1 year before you are well again. I always thought I was superman, so I think I will rid this kryptonite in no time. The sooner you realize you have it, the quicker you will recover. I suspected this already 6 weeks ago, so I started taking it easy.
I really want to play squash now. Watching Ramy back on court (with sunglasses on ) motivates me. The dude on the right is not Ramy btw,....
