Pakistan's Ashab Irfan Wins Mile High 360 Classic Squash Tournament in the USA

Young player Ashab Irfan defeated compatriot Asim Khan in a tough final match.

The match lasted 112 minutes, with Ashhab winning 3 games to 2. The scores were 15-13, 8-11, 9-11, 11-8, and 11-9.

The tournament, held in Denver, had a total prize money of $15,000.

Earlier in the semi final, an impressive display, Ashab Irfan overcame top-seeded Canadian David Baillargeon in straight sets, claiming victory with scores of 11-6, 12-10, and 11-7.

Ashab has advanced to the semi-finals, where he will face England's Tom Walsh.

Earlier, Pakistan's squash player, Muhammad Asim Khan, secured his first-ever World Tour title at the Charlottesville Open Squash Championship 2024 in Virginia, USA.

In a gripping 65-minute final, Asim staged a remarkable comeback after losing the first game 12-14, defeating England’s top-seeded Nick Wall by winning the next three games 12-10, 11-5, and 11-6, clinching a 3-1 victory.

This milestone win marks Asim's debut triumph on the World Tour, earning him 500 ranking points, which are expected to improve his global standing.

The championship, featuring a prize pool of $28,750, holds significance not only for Asim’s career but also highlights Pakistan's rich squash legacy.

Asim's victory is a nod to the resurgence of squash talent in Pakistan, a nation once ruled by the legendary Jahangir Khan on the international squash stage.
