Pakistan duo Tayyab Aslam and Faiza Zafar secured the Jubilee Insurance Company Ltd. Pakistan Squash Championships Circuit III men’s and women’s titles, respectively over the weekend.

World No.95 Aslam defeated fellow countryman Farhan Zaman to claim his fourth and biggest PSA World Tour title after claiming an 11-8, 10-12, 11-1, 11-8 victory in 44 minutes.

Meanwhile in the women’s final, Faiza faced younger sister Madina Zafar and was able to extract her revenge after Madina defeated her in the final of the SNGPL Pakistan International Squash Circuit II less than two weeks ago.

Older sister and World No.99 Faiza claimed her second PSA World Tour title with an 11-7, 11-9, 11-13, 16-14 win.

Meanwhile at the City of Greater Bendigo International, Ireland’s World No.145 Sean Conroy and Australia’s World No.45 Christine Nunn took home the men’s and women’s titles, respectively.
