Abouelghar Wins Historic PSA Tour Title
In Jordan
Egyptian teenager
Mohamed Abouelghar became the youngest winner of a PSA World Tour
squash title this year – and the second youngest this millennium – when he beat
Pakistan's Farzan Rasheed in the final of the Royal Jordanian Open
at the Al Hussein Sport City in the Jordan capital Amman.
It was a historic climax to
the $3,000 Satellite championship, the first PSA World Tour event to be staged
in Jordan.
Abouelghar, the 16-year-old
fifth seed from Cairo, reached his first PSA final without facing a single
seeded player. Playing in only the fourth Tour event of his life, the youngster
reached the climax after fighting back from two games down to beat fellow
Egyptian Moustafa Bayoumy, a qualifier, 8-11, 8-11, 11-6, 11-9, 11-8 in
the semi-finals.
His opponent in the final
was also a qualifier. Farzan Rasheed, a 21-year-old from Punjab, made
his breakthrough in the opening round, dismissing fourth-seeded Spaniard
Eduardo Gonzales De Chaves in straight games.
Rasheed had the upper hand
in the opening game of the final – but Abouelghar battled back to take the match
7-11, 11-7, 11-3, 11-7 in 30 minutes to claim his historic maiden Tour success
in Amman.
