Aamir ends Azlan's
run in Islamabad

Azlan Iskandar had won his last two tournaments, but that run nearly came to en and in the quarters and the semis here as the Malaysian squeezed through in five games.

He couldn't quite do it a third time though as he fell in the final to Pakistan's rising star Aamir Atlas Khan. Azlan recovered from a first game loss to lead 2/1, but Aamir saved the match as he prevailed in a long fourth, then went on to claim the title in the decider in exactly an hour, picking up his first PSA title.

Aamir ousts Bengy in Islamabad

Two Malaysia v Pakistan finished one each at the Mushaf squash complex in the Pakistan capital.

First up was second seed Azlan Iskandar against qualifier Yarir Butt. Butt, who had beaten two higher-ranked compatriots to reach the semis, stormed into a two-game lead before the Malaysian rallied to win his second successive five game marathon.

In the final he will meet Pakistan's number two player Aamir Atlas Khan, after the speedy teenager overcame top seed Ong Beng Hee in four games to reach a third successive final on home soil, having finished runner-up in both the President PSF and NWFP Internationals ...

19-Aug, Quarters:
It's Malaysia and Pakistan
in Islamabad ...

Both semi-finals of the CAS International will be Malaysia v Pakistan affairs after the quarter-finals at the Mushaf squash complex in Islamabad.

Top seed Ong Beng Hee won two tight games against Omar Abdel Aziz before clinching the third, while Aamir Atlas Khan cruised past compatriot Safeerullah Khan.

"I have been looking to this occasion for a long time and I think I have got a chance here in the semi-finals against the top seed.

"I will try to play my natural game. Hee is a good player but I would put in my best efforts to make a match of it."

Second seed Azlan Iskandar survived a 72-minute battle with Egypt's Omar Mosaad and now faces qualifier Yasir Butt, who overcame Farhan Mehboob in another all-Pakistani clash.

18-Aug, Round One:
Three nations in the
hunt in Islamabad ...

Three countries are contending for the CAS International title in Islamabad, with Malaysia providing the top two seeds.

Ong Beng Hee and Azlan Iskandar came through contrasting first round matches against local opposition, Ong needing five games to overcome Majid Khan while Iskandar won in three - although two went to the 'tie-break' against Adil Maqbool.

Both now face Egyptian opposition in the quarter-finals in Omar Abel Aziz and Omar Mosaad, who both needed five games - again against Pakistani opponents.

It wasn't all bad news for the hosts though, as fourth seeded Aamir Atlas Khan was joined in the last eight by qualifiers Safeerullah Khan and Yasir Butt, and by Farhan Mehboob who made it a hat-trick of upset wins as he beat Pakistan's top-ranked player Mansoor Zaman.

With the Pakistani players meeting in the quarter-finals, the hosts are already guaranteed representation in each of Monday's semi-finals.
