Aamir wins fourth COAS Crown
 Top
seed Aamir Atlas Khan defeated defending champion Nasir Iqbal in the
final of the COAS International in Pakistan to win the title at the
Mushaf Squash Complex in Islamabad for the fourth time.
Iqbal, the 18-year-old world No140 from Peshawar, had carried on
where he left off last year - upsetting seeds in both the quarter
and semi-finals to reach the final against expectation for the
second year in a row.
But Atlas Khan, the 21-year-old world No32 and highest-ranked player
in Pakistan, was too strong for the teenager - winning in straight
games to repeat his title triumphs of 2008, 2009 and 2010.
“It’s a great feeling to win a title at home,” Aamir told The
Express Tribune. “I haven’t been doing well in international events
so I take this as a consolation.
“But I must appreciate Iqbal’s game. He’s extremely fit and is next
in line to be among the top players of the country. Winning this
final is not really a big deal since I’m much more experienced than
Iqbal. But it is a great start especially right before the British
Open.”
The success marks the seventh PSA title of Khan's career.
