Lone Seed Aamir Atlas Makes Pakistan Semis

After two days of shocks in the Pakistan Circuit No4 squash event in Lahore, favourite Aamir Atlas Khan will be the only seed to feature in the semi-final line-up of the PSA World Tour Challenger 10 championship at the Punjab Squash Complex.

The 21-year-old top seed from Peshawar despatched qualifier Aqib Hanif 11-5, 11-9, 11-5 in just 30 minutes to set up a semi-final clash with Nasir Iqbal, a 17-year-old also from Peshawar who defeated Waqas Mehboob 11-6, 11-7, 9-11, 11-2.

It was in the other half of the draw that today's biggest quarter-final upset took place when unseeded 18-year-old Farhan Zaman upset his 31-year-old cousin Mansoor Zaman, the No3 seed, 11-5, 15-13, 9-11, 11-6 in 44 minutes.

Zaman junior will now face Muhammad Saqib Yousaf, a 20-year-old qualifier from Lahore who followed his Christmas Day upset over second seed Danish Atlas Khan by beating higher-ranked compatriot Waqar Mehboob 10-12, 11-2, 11-5, 11-5.

Semi-final line-up:
[1] Aamir Atlas Khan (PAK) v Nasir Iqbal (PAK)
