Throwing away a set to rest pays off for Altamis


He’s the victor: Altamis Aqhar Sallam Sufian (right) in action en route to the Under-19 title.

PETALING JAYA: Squash player Altamis Aqhar Sallam Sufian’s risky move paid off as he won the boys’ Under-19 category at the Squash Racquets Association of Federal Territory Kuala Lumpur (SRAFTKL) Junior Championship.

The Sarawakian defeated Penang’s Kreethi Pillay 11-6, 11-7, 2-11, 11-8 at the Jalan Duta Squash Courts yesterday, but not after some tense moments.
