Introduction to Squash Rules

Answers to Rules questions - Q27

Idea by Clive Pollard

The question is :

Q27 - Player (in non-turning situation) hits the ball which hits the opponent before hitting a side-wall, and the ball would have reached the front wall, and the opponent would not have been able to continue in the rally (i.e., the player hit a winning shot).

Your decision was

This is correct - well done !!

Reason
