22 May 2007

In their second PSA Tour final meeting in Pakistan in a month, top seeds Aamir Atlas Khan and Mansoor Zaman will contest the climax of the President PSF International after success in today's semi-finals at the Jansher Khan Complex in Abbottabad.

Khan, the 16-year-old event favourite, beat third-seeded compatriot Farhan Mehboob 11-10 (2-0), 11-2, 11-10 (2-0) in 34 minutes to chalk up his second appearance in a Tour final.

Second seed Zaman was taken to four games by fellow Pakistani Yasir Butt, but beat the No7 seed 11-6, 7-11, 11-10 (2-0), 11-8 in 45 minutes to reach his 17th PSA final.

The 27-year-old reclaimed his status as the highest-ranked Pakistani in this month's PSA World Rankings after beating Aamir Atlas Khan in last month's Governor NWFP International final in his home town of Peshawar.
