Almezayen Takes Kuwait Hopes Into Jena Final
Just 24 hours after removing the fourth seed to reach the semi-finals of the Jena Real Estate Championship in Kuwait, local hero Abdullah Almezayen continued his impressive run in the inaugural $10,000 PSA World Tour squash event in Hawally by ousting fifth-seeded Egyptian Andrew Wagih Shoukry to reach the final at the Qadsia Sporting Club.

The promising 22-year-old Kuwaiti, ranked 120 in the world, battled for 51 minutes to overcome Shoukry 11-7, 11-3, 13-15, 11-8 to celebrate his sixth appearance in a PSA Tour final.

The climax will be an all-left-handed affair in which Almezayen will take on top seed Farhan Mehboob, the world No47 from Pakistan.

In his third successive straight games win in the event, the 21-year-old from Peshawar powered to an 11-4, 11-2, 11-6 victory over 16-year-old Danish Atlas Khan, the No8 seed who is also from Peshawar.

Mehboob, nephew of the legendary Pakistani Jansher Khan, is also celebrating his sixth Tour final appearance.
