Farhan Despatches Danish For CAS Crown by Howard Harding 30 September 2013
- Pakistan's Farhan Zaman pulled off his second national upset in two
days when he beat third seed Danish Atlas Khan in the final of the CAS
International Squash Championship to win the long-established PSA World
Tour Challenger 15 event at the PAF Hashim Khan Squash Complex in
Peshawar.
Zaman reached the final after overcoming top seed Nasir Iqbal in the previous round.
The 20-year-old fourth
seed from Peshawar was the underdog going into the final - having met
the higher-ranked 19-year-old Khan twice before on the Tour, on both
occasions losing in five games.
And Danish carried on where he left off, taking an early lead after surviving a tie-break opening game.
But Zaman struck back,
winning the next three games in succession to secure his title-winning
10-12, 11-4, 11-6, 11-8 victory in 60 minutes.
The triumph marks the second Tour title of Zaman's career - but his first on home soil!
RESULTS: PSA Challenger 15 CAS International, Peshawar, Pakistan
