Grant & Zaman To
Meet In COAS Final
Domestic interest in the final of the $25,000 Chief Of the Army Staff (COAS) International in Islamabad will be led by Pakistan's unseeded Shahid Zaman, who beat fellow countryman Majid Khan, a qualifier, in today's semi-finals and will face England's sixth seed Adrian Grant in tomorrow's climax.

Majid Khan, a 20-year-old former Pakistan junior international from Peshawar, fought all the way in his surprise semi-final against the experienced Shahid Zaman, a world top fifty player for almost three years. Twice Zaman led, and twice his young opponent drew level.

After 73 minutes, the Quetta-based Zaman finally gained his 15-8 11-15 15-11 8-15 15-12 win to reach his first PSA Tour final for more than two years.

London-born left-hander Adrian Grant had a slightly easier run to his 12th PSA Tour final in a 15-8 11-15 15-6 15-7 victory in 55 minutes over Egypt's Wael El Hindi, the seventh seed.

The in-form world No21, who is now based in Halifax in Yorkshire, will be looking for his first title success for more than a year in the biggest final of his career.

23-Feb, Quarters:
Shahid & Majid Ensure Local Interest
Further giant-killing victories in today's quarter-finals will lead to Pakistanis Shahid Zaman and Majid Khan meeting each other in the semi-finals, thus ensuring local interest in the final in Islamabad.

Unseeded Shahid Zaman made his breakthrough in the first round when he beat Egypt's defending champion Karim Darwish after the in-form top seed retired injured after three games. In the quarter-finals, the 21-year-old from Quetta removed another Egyptian, unseeded Hisham Mohammed Ashour 15-13 11-15 15-13 15-9
in 42 minutes.

Majid Khan, a 20-year-old qualifier from Peshawar, upset Shahid's cousin Farrukh Zaman, the No8 seed, in the first round - then despatched last year's runner-up Mohammed Abbas in the quarter-finals when the third seed retired injured midway through the third game.

The other semi-final will feature England's sixth seed Adrian Grant and seventh-seeded Egyptian Wael El Hindi, the shock survivor of a tough battle with compatriot and second seed Omar Elborolossy in a 17-16 17-16 9-15 17-14 scoreline.

22-Feb, Round One:
Darwish limps out in Peshawar
Karim Darwish, the reigning COAS International Champion, limped out of the first round in Pshsawar, retiring injured at 2-1 up over Pakistan's Shahid Zaman. It was one of several shock results in the first round.
