Pakistani athlete Huzaif Shahid has added another feather to his cap as he won the Hong Kong Junior Squash Championship on Saturday.
He had defeated a Malaysian second-seed player to qualify for the final round. In the quarterfinals, he had outclassed Chinese players in street games.
Earlier this year, Huzaifa Shahid had claimed the U13 event at the Australian Junior Open. He also won the Borneo Junior Open in Malaysia last year. He was also the silver medalist of the Asian Junior Squash Championship U13 category played in June this year.
His performance not only proved his exceptional skills but also positioned him as one of the bright future stars in the squash game.
Hong Kong Junior Squash Championship is considered one of the most prestigious junior open squash championships in Asia and the world. It is one of just four Tier 2 events used in the world junior rankings, which are surpassed in difficulty only by the World Junior Squash Championships. The tournament hosts nearly 500 players every year and is organized by the Asian Squash Federation and Hong Kong Squash.
