Huzaifa Khan cleaned up Shaeel Durab 6-0, 6-0 but Sami Zeb had to struggle hard to beat Talha Khan 7-5, 6-3. Some exciting tennis was on display in the first set that saw Sami finally breaking through to go 1-0 up. In the second, however, Sami was in complete command as he won it easily. Sami thus has a chance of winning two titles in two weeks as he has already won the first tournament in the category.
