Al
Muzayen Wins Ghaeme Cup In Iran
RESULTS: PSA Challenger 5 Ghaeme ale Mohammad Cup, Gorgan, Iran
Kuwait's leading squash player Abdullah Al Muzayen brushed aside
all opposition in the inaugural Ghaeme ale Mohammad Cup in Iran
to win the PSA World Tour Challenger 5 event at the Gorgan
Squash House in Gorgan in impressive style.
The
top-seeded left-hander dropped his first game of the tournament in the
semi-finals, but ultimately despatched Jordan's No3 seed Ahmad
Al-Saraj 11-2, 8-11, 11-5, 11-0 to make the 15th Tour final of his
career.
In the
other semi, second seed Ammar Al-Tamimi beat fellow countryman
Mohammed Yaquop Hajeyah in four games to set up the all-Kuwaiti
final predicted by the seedings.
But Al
Muzayen, the 24-year-old world No48, was too strong for Al-Tamimi,
beating his 23-year-old compatriot - ranked more than 60 places lower -
11-3, 11-6, 11-3 in just 27 minutes.
The
win marks the 12th PSA Tour title of Al Muzayen's, but his third in a
row and his fourth of the year.
