Squash: Shahid wins Polish U-19 title

LONDON: Budding Pakistani squash player Saad Shahid has won the Polish Under-19 Squash title defeating his Czech Republic opponent Solnicky Jacub 3-2 in a well-matched contest that took place in Warsaw.

The Junior Squash Open was a European Squash Federation event held earlier this week in the Polish capital. Saad could have played in the under-17 category but chose to play in the under-19 competition.

He was recently elevated to third from 45th in the under-17 world rankings after he won the German Open last month and earlier reached the final of the Welsh Open.
