It is not that rare for one side to get no point in a squash game. I've seen similar cases in tournaments.
I've also seen players coming back from 0-8
to win a game at 10-8.
Even in high level matches, it is still very possible.
In the final of 2003 World Junior Women's Championship,
Australia's number one player, Brown,
lost 3 straight games, getting not a SINGLE point in all 3 games, to Egyptian's number one player,
who happens to be world junior champion.
See part of the report below:
  

Egypt declared themselves world champions today in historic fashion when they beat the Aussies in style to claim the title. Playing on their home court, and in front of their home crowd, the Egyptian team proved to the world their unchallenged strength in the finals against Australia.

The opening game between Badr and Australia's Urquhart was the closest of the match. Urquhart was put on great pressure by the Egyptian's attacking, basic game. Badr made very few errors and constantly moved Urquhart to control the " T " and match, and won in three. The Australian had put on a huge fight but Badr was just the better player today.

Next came world junior champion, Abdel Kawy, against Australia's number one Brown. Brown had played a five game thriller the previous day with England's Pierrepont and some may have thought that the Aussie could offer the world champion some challenge.

Those who thought so were very wrong.

Playing dazzling squash, Abdel Kawy refused to drop one single point in the entire match, illustrating the huge gap between her and the other players in the tournament. Everything the Egyptian did was just perfect. There were no mistakes from the Egyptian's side and Brown found herself helpless to a determined Abdel Kawy. With Abdel Kawy ' s 27-0 win Egypt won the title. "Winning the team title completes my dream. This is just great for Egyptian squash and for Egypt," said the eighteen year old world champ.
In the dead rubber El Waleily only dropped three points. Egypt had won the match and team title in spectacular fashion in front of the cheering crowd.

I just found out that a squash tournament
will take place this coming weekend, Oct 31 to Nov 2.
The club is Mirabel tennis and squash club in Pointe-Claire, near Fairview shopping center.
The first rounds in all categories will start at around 6pm on Friday.
Most good matches are usually found on Saturday, with the semi-finals and finals on Sunday.
From my past experience, it is free for anyone
to go in the club to watch the matches on tournament days.

If you are interested in squash,
you should definitely go to catch a match or 2.
