My story on Aqeel Khan won the Rayim Yar Khan title dated 16-3-2014 Aqeel lifts National Ranking Tennis title ISLAMABAD - Aqeel Khan defeated younger brother Yasir Khan 6-3, 6-2 to clinch the All-Pakistan Rahim Yar Khan National Ranking Tournament title here on Saturday. Talking to The Nation, Aqeel said: “I will put this title as a special one, as I have to go through a lot of pain during the entire event. I was carrying right shoulder injury for the past one week or so. At one stage, I made up my mind, if pain reached boiling point, I would quit, but thanks Almighty, I managed to lift the title.” “I won the first set 6-3. I was not in a mood to let Yasir off the hook in the second set and took it 6-2 to register victory. I will travel to Karachi to collect stuff and remain there for two or three days before returning back to Islamabad to start training for the Davis Cup.”–Staff Reporter
