Farhan Mehboob Takes Kuwait Crown
Pakistan's Farhan Mehboob justified his top seed billing in the Jena
Real Estate Championship, but disappointed the local crowd when he
beat Kuwaiti hero Abdullah Almezayen in the final.
The 21-year-old from Peshawar reached the final without dropping a
game - and faced surprise opponent Almezayen, the sixth seed who
despatched two higher-ranked players to make it to the climax.
Mehboob, ranked 47 in the world, was unable to maintain his straight
games run in the event - but the Pakistani ultimately held off the
challenge of the promising Kuwaiti, ranked more than 70 places
below, to win in 50 minutes.
The win marks Mehboob's first PSA Tour title triumph of the year -
but the third of his career.

Almezayen Takes Kuwait
Hopes Into Jena Final
Just 24 hours after removing the fourth seed to reach the
semi-finals of the Jena Real Estate Championship in Kuwait, local
hero Abdullah Almezayen continued his impressive run by ousting
fifth-seeded Egyptian Andrew Wagih to reach the final at the Qadsia
Sporting Club.
The promising 22-year-old Kuwaiti, ranked 120 in the world, battled
for 51 minutes to overcome Shoukry to claim his sixth appearance in
a PSA Tour final.
The climax will be an all-left-handed affair in which Almezayen will
take on top seed Farhan Mehboob, the world No47 from Pakistan.
In his third successive straight games win in the event, the
21-year-old from Peshawar powered to victory over 16-year-old Danish
Atlas Khan, the No8 seed who is also from Peshawar.
Mehboob, nephew of the legendary Pakistani Jansher Khan, is also
celebrating his sixth Tour final appearance.

Day of upsets in Kuwait
The quarter-finals of the Jena Real Estate Open in Kuwait produced a
pair of upset results.
 Top
seed Farhan Mehboob had the easiest run, beating Andrea
Torricini in straight games, and now faces compatriot Danish
Atlas Khan for a place in the final after the Pakistani eighth
seed beat Kuwait's Bader Al Hussaini in five games.
Abdullah Al Mezayen kept home hopes alive with a four game
win over fourth seed Waqar Mehboob, and he meets Egyptian Andrew
Wagih, who almost squandered a two-game lead against second seed
Jaymie Haycocks, in the semi-finals.

Bader Battles Through To Kuwait Quarters
Unseeded Kuwaiti Bader Al Hussaini doubled domestic interest in the
quarter-finals of the Jena Real Estate Championship when he upset
third seed Neil Hitchens in the opening round of the inaugural
$10,000 event at Qadsia Sporting Club in Hawally, Kuwait.
The 26-year-old, ranked more than 100 places lower than Hitchens,
beat the Englishman 11-9, 5-11, 11-5, 13-11 in 49 minutes and will
now face eighth seed Danish Atlas Khan for a place in the last four.
Pakistani Khan despatched Egyptian teenager Islam El Fiky 11-2,
11-2, 11-3.
Kuwait interest is being led by sixth seed Abdullah Almezayen. The
22-year-old left-hander took only 17 minutes to claim his place in
the last eight, beating Jordan qualifier Ahmad Al-Saraj 11-3, 11-0,
11-5.
