ISLAMABAD: Aqeel Khan continued his good form in the 39th CAS Khyber Cup National Ranking Tennis beating youngster Sami Zeb in an impressive style at the PTF/SDA Complex hard courts Sunday.
Aqeel won 6-2, 6-2 to make it to the third round in style. Pakistan No 1’s baseline game was impressive and so was his attacking posture that tamed the youngster in no time.
