Ahad vs. Diego - How Good Is Diego Elias, former world number one, and world champion?

Every so often, something totally unexpected and unforgettable happens—and this was one of those moments.

I had the absolute privilege of stepping onto the court with none other than Diego Elias, former World #1 and one of the most gifted squash players the sport has ever seen. What started as a chance encounter turned into a dream session—one that any squash fan would kill for.

It’s not every day you get to face off against a squash icon, and I quickly learned just how high the level really is at the top of the game. Diego’s speed, precision, and effortless control were truly next level—and humbling to witness up close!
