Perrin Powers To
First Tour Title In Iran
 France's
top seed Yann Perrin fought off determined opposition in the Kish
Persian Gulf Cup in Iran to win his first PSA title in the
event in its second year at the Kish Olympic Squash Centre at Kish
Island.
The 24-year-old from Aix-en-Provence was stretched to the limit in
the semi-finals where he had to fight back from two games down to
beat rising Egyptian star Amr Khaled Khalifa, the 17-year-old fourth
seed, 10-12, 10-12, 11-8, 11-3, 14-12 in 68 minutes.
Perrin's opponent in the final was also an Egyptian, the
fifth-seeded Omar Abdel Meguid who upset both Kamran Khan, the No3
seed from Malaysia, and Eddie Charlton, the second seed from
England, to earn his place in the climax.
Meguid, winner of the St Petersburg Open in December, recovered from
a game down to win the second, then take Perrin to a tie-break in
the third.
But it was the Frenchman who ultimately prevailed, winning 11-6,
4-11, 16-14, 11-7 to secure his maiden PSA title in his third final.

 We
have many different international sports in Kish Island, like this
year thu U-21 snooker world cup, ITF future tennis, Asian Junior
Taekwando and many more, but we are trying to promote squash more in
Kish Island and in Iran and result is that we have many junior and
senior players playing squash in national and international level.
And this is been in short time that we have squash in kish island.
I personally thanks to psa and squash players that they are
participating in this event and our players learn and improve their
game and I also give thanks to squashsite that they are promoting
our event internationally and making it successful.
