Khalifa Crowned Nimes
Champion
Egyptian teenager Amr Khaled Khalifa won the Open du Gard title
after beating local hope Fabien Verseille in the final of the
Satellite PSA World Tour squash event at Squash Club des Arenes in
Nimes, France.
The
17-year-old from Cairo, who reached the final after overcoming English qualifier
Jonathan Harford in the semi-finals, dropped the first two games to sixth
seed Verseille, from Aix-en-Provence.
But
third seed Khalifa bounded back to take the next three to win 9-11, 9-11, 11-7,
11-3, 11-6 and secure the second Tour title of his career.
