Khan wins al khaliji challenge
Top seed Danish Atlas Khan prevailed in an all-Pakistan final
at the Khalifi International complex in Doha to claim the title in
the third of the Qatar Challenge series.
Khan and second seed Farhan Zaman both won their morning
semi-finals in straight games, leaving them relatively fresh for the
final, which saw Khan take a two-game lead which was wiped out by a
spirited fightback from Zaman to force a decider.
It was the top seed who ultimately triumphed though, 18/16 after
over an hour's play.

Pakistanis prevail in Doha
Prospects of an all-Pakistani final of the al khaliji PSA challenger
in Qatar were enhanced when Adil Maqbool joined his
top-seeded compatriots Danish Atlas Khan and Farhan Zaman
in the semi-finals after two rounds of play at the Khalifa
International complex in Doha.
Top seed Khan was sorely tested though, needing the full five games
and a 12/10 in the decider win over Egypt's Mazen Hesham Ga Sabry in
an 82-minute quarter-final. He meets another Egyptian in the semis,
Fares Dessouky who prevailed over fellow qualifier James Simpson in
the quarters.
Second seed Zaman came through his two matches in less than an
hour's combined playing time, but Maqbool had to come from two games
down against Basem Makram to ensure an all-Pakistani semi-final.
