Danish Reclaims Persian Gulf Cup
#PSAWorldTour
Pakistan’s
Danish Atlas
Khan
recorded his second successive
PSA World Tour
triumph over his older brother
Aamir Atlas
Khan
when he toppled the defending champion in today’s final of the
Kish Persian
Gulf Cup
to reclaim the
PSA Challenger
5
squash title he first won at the
Olympic Squash
Complex
in
Kish
Island,
Iran, three years ago.
Both Peshawar-based players survived five-game semi-finals to set up the
predicted climax between the event’s top two seeds – 20-year-old No.1 seed
Danish taking 88 minutes to overcome Kuwait’s fourth seed
Yousif Nizar
Saleh
11-4, 9-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-7, while second seed Aamir, aged 23, twice came from
behind to see off surprise semi-finalist
Youssef
Abdalla,
the No.6 seed from England.
The final produced the Khan brothers’ sixth Tour clash – and the second in the
event - with Aamir successful in the first four.
But after celebrating his first senior sibling success in the
CAS
International
on home soil last September, World No.72 Danish
(pictured
below in final action)
proved that it was no fluke when he beat Aamir, a former World No.14, 11-7,
10-12, 11-9, 11-8 in 70 minutes.
The triumph – in his 10th Tour final - takes Danish’s Tour title haul to six.
