from PSA Media
21 April 2012 - There were mixed successes for the Atlas Khan family in today's semi-finals of the COAS International in Pakistan when top seed Aamir Atlas Khan made it through to the final of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 squash event at the Mushaf Squash Complex in Islamabad, but younger brother Danish Atlas Khan failed to overcome teenager Nasir Iqbal.
Aamir, champion in 2008, 2009 and 2010, reached his fourth final after beating Peshawar compatriot Farhan Zaman, the fourth seed, 9-11, 13-11, 11-9, 11-9.
The win takes the 21-year-old into his 13th PSA Tour final.
Nasir Iqbal reproduced the same form which saw him win the 2011 title against expectations when he took on third seed Danish Atlas Khan.
Iqbal, an 18-year-old also based in Peshawar, defeated his opponent ranked over 40 places higher, 11-9, 11-8, 11-8 in 61 minutes to reach the second Tour final of his career.
