Top Seeds Downed As Atlas Khan & El Torky Win
Pakistan Open Titles
After reaching the men's and women's finals of the Pakistan Open,
both top seeds Farhan Mehboob and Christina Mak,
respectively, failed to win the titles in the Tour events at the Mushaf
Squash Complex in the country’s capital Islamabad.
Second seed Aamir Atlas Khan avenged his defeat a week earlier
in the climax of the CNS International in Karachi by defeating
fellow Pakistani Mehboob 8-11, 11-7, 11-5, 11-5 in the final of the
$30,000 PSA Tour event.
The 18-year-old from
Peshawar celebrated the fourth PSA title of his career.
Egyptian teenager Heba El Torky maintained her
giant-killing run in the $10,000 women’s WISPA World Tour event
when she beat favourite Christina Mak 11-7, 11-8, 11-9 in the 29-minute
final.
The 17-year-old third seed from
Alexandria had ousted Hong Kong’s second seed
Joey Chan in the previous round - and now celebrates her second
Tour title success in two months after winning her maiden trophy at the
China Open in Shanghai
in October.
Mehboob & Atlas Khan In Pakistan Open Final
Just over a week after contesting the final of the CNS International in
the Pakistan city of Karachi, Farhan Mehboob and Aamir Atlas Khan
– both nephews of the great Jansher Khan - will contest the climax of the
Pakistan Open in their country’s capital Islamabad after
contrasting victories in today’s (Thursday) semi-finals of the $30,000 PSA
Tour squash event at the Mushaf Squash Complex.
Top
seed Mehboob, winner of the Karachi title, brushed aside unseeded local player
Safeer Ullah Khan 11-8, 11-3, 11-7 in just 20 minutes,
The
other semi was a repeat of last year’s final – in which Aamir Atlas Khan, the
second seed, battled for 53 minutes to overcome third-seeded fellow countryman
Mansoor Zaman 12-10, 12-14, 11-9, 11-9.
Egyptian teenager Heba El Torky has claimed an unexpected place in the
final of the $10,000 women’s WISPA World Tour event. The 17-year-old
third seed from Alexandria upset Hong Kong’s second seed Joey Chan 13-11,
6-11, 11-8, 11-4 – and will now face another Hong Kong opponent in the final
after favourite Christina Mak beat unseeded Egyptian Sara El Noamany
12-10, 11-7, 11-3.
