Pakistan's Ahsan Ramzan won the Asian Under-21 Snooker Championship on Wednesday in Iran.
Ahsan defeated Iran's Malad Pourali by five-two in the final.
The young Pakistani cueist looked favourite from the start as he took the lead of 4-0 by winning the first four frames convincingly.
Despite a very strong comeback by the Irani as he won the fifth and sixth frames, Ramzan did not lose his grip on the game and finished the game by winning the seventh frame and claiming the title.
He won the match with frame scores of 48-46, 70-5, 61-6, 62-29, 30-71, 55-67, 101-27.
Earlier today, Ahsan defeated another Irani cueist Tirdad Azadipout in the semi-final by winning the Best of Seven 4-2 to secure his place in the final.
In the quarter-final, Ramzan defeated India’s Digvijay Kadyan 4-3 on Tuesday (June 20).
The 17-year-old won the match with scores of 19-76, 36-76, 67-35, 63-31, 72-55, 27-65 and 9-70 as he came back from a three-two deficit to win the match.
In the group stage matches, Ramzan contested two group matches against Iran’s Arshia Tehrani and Ali Lelegani and defeated both of them.
In his first group match, the teenager beat Tehrani by the score of 3-0 in the Best of Five
Tehrani was faced with humiliation as the Pakistani dominated all three sets. He won the first frame by a score of 55-21 while in the second frame, Ramzan displayed an all-round performance as he defeated the Iranian by 93-15. He also comfortably won the third frame by maintaining his dominance.
It must be noted that Before Ahsan, three Pakistanis - Farhan Mirza, Majid Ali, and Haris Tahir - on four occasions played in the final of the Asian U21 championship, but none could win the title.
