LAHORE-Phenomenal Muzammil Murtaza finally claimed the 6th Begum Kulsum Saifullah Khan National Ranking Tennis Tournament title after stunning top seed Aqeel Khan in the men’s singles final played at the PTF Complex, Islamabad on Sunday. 
Muzammil kept on giving tough time to longest serving No 1 tennis player Aqeel throughout the year and had very close and tough fights in many national tournament finals but finally in the last national tennis tournament of this year, he succeeded in downing the top seed and climaxing the title. 
Muzammil won the title in a three-set thriller as he won the first set 7-6(5) after a tough battle. But Aqeel then showed his class and made a tremendous comeback to win the second set 6-3. However, Muzammil held his nerves in the third and decisive set, where he played sensibly and kept on putting pressure on the top seed, thus succeeded in winning the third and final set 6-4 and also emerged as title winner of men’s singles category.
