Atlas Khans In CAS Final Bid by Howard Harding 26 September 2013
- Peshawar brothers Danish Atlas Khan and Aamir Atlas Khan will meet
for a place in the final of the CAS International Squash Championship
in their home city in Pakistan after surviving today's quarter-finals
of the long-established PSA World Tour Challenger 15 event at the PAF
Hashim Khan Squash Complex.
Second seed Aamir, the defending champion, needed only four games to see off qualifier Nosherwan Khan 11-7, 11-3, 9-11, 11-9.
But his younger
brother Danish was taken the full distance before finally overcoming
former champion Mansoor Zaman, also from Peshawar and also a qualifier,
13-11, 8-11, 7-11, 11-1, 12-10.
Top seed Nasir Iqbal
was also stretched to the limit before getting the better of fellow
Pakistani Muhammad Saqib Yousaf 12-14, 11-4, 11-7, 9-11, 11-8.
The 19-year-old world
No49 will now face fourth seed Farhan Zaman who made the last four
after his namesake Farhan Mehboob retired injured after just two games,
the score standing at 11-6, 12-10.
RESULTS: PSA Challenger 15 CAS International, Peshawar, Pakistan
