Danish bt Aamir 11/7, 10/12, 11/9, 11/8 (70m)
Danish does it again in Kish
 Pakistan’s
Danish Atlas Khan recorded his second successive PSA over his older
brother Aamir Atlas Khan when he toppled the defending champion in
the final of the Kish Persian Gulf Cup, to reclaim the 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, and the
final was the Khan brothers’ sixth PSA clash – and the second in the
event - with Aamir successful in the first four.
But after recording his first senior sibling success in the CAS
International on home soil last September, World No.72 Danish
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.
 "We
both train together and last night played 3-2 but again today was
was such a long match and he was defending champion and I won this
event two year ago and lost to Aamir last year!
"We are happy with our performance and I am happy here in Kish
island, it is such a beautiful island good weather, and personally
thanks to Kish free zone and Kish sports center for this event.

 "I
am very happy back here in Kish island and with my performance, but
Danish played very well.
"Thanks to Kish sports center and Kish free zone organizing Persian
Gulf Cup in such a beautiful venue."

Khans survive in Kish
 Top
seeded Pakistani brothers Danish Atlas Khan and Aamir
Atlas Khan both survived five-game semi-finals in Kish Island,
Iran, to set up a family final in the PSA $6k Persian Gulf Cup.
Danish, 20, took 88 minutes to see off Kuwaiti fourth seed Yosif
Nizar Saleh, while Aamir, 23 , was twice behind before beating
England's Youssef Abdalla, the sixth seed.
Abdalla had his chances: "Being a game up and up 9-5 up in 2nd will
haunt me for years," he tweeted.
The final will be the pair's sixth meeting in PSA events, with
Danish recording his first win in the last match, the CAS
International last September.
