Jahangir awesome as ever
NZPA-Reuter Toulouse
Jahangir Khan began the quest for his sixth straight World Open squash title in typically assertive style when he beat Britain’s Jamie Hickox, 9-1, 9-4, 9-2 in the first round yesterday.
The third-seeded Stuart Davenport, of New Zealand, defeated by Jahangir in the Canadian Open final, encountered deter-
mined opposition from Sweden’s Andres Wahlstedt before gaining his second-round place 97, 6-9, 9-4, 9-2.
Davenport trailed 0-4 in the third game after Wahlstedt had won the second but re-asserted his authority to win 18 of the last 20 points. The Pakistani top seed, unbeaten since April 1981, took just 30 minutes to
overcome Hickox who resisted boldly in the second game before succumbing to Jahangir’s power in the third.
Jahangir’s compatriot, Qamar Azman, four times World Open finalist, was ousted in the first round by Britain’s Danny Lee 97, 9-1, 9-5.
Jahangir raced through his first game in just five minutes, losing only two rallies in 1 the process.
