In the history of Pakistani squash where I meet the greatness of Jahangir Khan and the likes of Hashim Khan, Azam Khan, Roshan Khan and Mohibullah Khan senior, then in the case of Jan Sher Khan, another great player becomes part of history. In this case, the major ones appear with their own unique identity.
Born in Quetta on April 11, 1952, Qamar Zaman remained the number one in his career, and when Jahangir Khan came, he retained the second position in the world ranking for eleven years.
From Hashim Khan to Mohibullah Senior, Pakistan won the British Open for 13 consecutive years, but then came a long break of twelve years.
The stagnation was broken when he defeated Jeff Hunt, Hadayat Jahan and Gogi Ala-ud-din, at the 1975 British Open.
Their game was amazing.
Qamar Zaman certainly did not win as many tournaments as Jahangir Khan, nor was he as super-fit as Jan Sher Khan, but the thing that made him different from others was his beautiful strokes.
In an interview with Hashim Khan, Hashim Khan said that the attractiveness of his game attracted everyone.
Roshan Khan named Qamar Zaman the best player of the seventies.
Australian athlete Chris Ditmar says the Qamar Zaman was a beautiful gift given to the game, as evidenced by the squash court galleries that were filled with spectators during the game.
Jonah Barrington thinks the gentleman was amazing at playing his strokes with equal skill from every angle.
Qamar Zaman's childhood friend and guide to playing international squash with him, where he believed Qamar Zaman was a magician.
He said playing against Qamar had to be calm as his strokes forced his rivals to run the court all the time and playing forty-five minutes against him was like playing two hours with another player. ۔
The advantage of playing with broken balls
The background of the drop shots of Kurzman is particularly interesting. His father's finances were not such that he could afford to spend the day with them, so the villagers used to bring home the damaged or torn balls of the members of the Quetta Club, which his mother used to stitch.
They could not hit the balls so fast they played slowly but that is why the habit of playing drop shots became so strong that they became recognized in international squash.
His mentor and uncle Aftab Javed used to be very upset by the Qur'an's habit of playing strokes, saying that he was careful in that regard, but the Qamar Zamani listened to him and did not refrain from playing strokes.
Jeff Hunt Traditional Competitors
in the form of Australia's Jeff Hunt.
Several memorable matches were played between the two. In the quarterfinals of the 1975 British Open, Qamar Zman defeated Jeff Hunt after losing the first two games.
Before the championship began, Jeff Hunt was asked which of the players this time could be a tough competitor to you, and Jeff Hunt took a few names.
They were asked if you did not name the landowner, then Hunt's answer was that they could be controlled. But the next day, after losing to the Cubs, Hunt was so tired that he had to say that he was not in a position to speak.
During this British Open, the Cougars were in great pain due to their wit, but they did not allow their suffering to be overcome at any point.
The Kings beat Jeff Hunt in almost every tournament of the year, but Hunt did not let them win in three of the British Open and four of the World Open finals.
Kurzman is not ready to admit that it was a psychological affair that did not allow him to win against the Hunt in both tournaments.
He says that when he came to the British Open playing all year, his pitch was down.
Observers believe that after the 1975 defeat, Jeff Hunt began to prepare himself a lot for the British Open because he knew the importance of the event, which is why he has since won the British Open in three more Worlds. In the four finals of the Open, Qamar was defeated.
Squash burst into court
Peasants have always been popular in squash circles because of their feisty and goofy nature.
During one of the matches, the referee ruled against them, to which he innocently told the referee that you do not know that there is no such thing in the game's law number on which the referee changed the decision.
After the match, the referee asked Qamar Zaman to know more about the law, and Qamar Zaman surprised him by saying which law he was joking about.
The female referee ruled against her during a match at the British Open.
When the court opened the court door, the female referee asked them, "What's the problem?" To which the premier replied, nothing, I would like to invite you to have dinner with me. The female referee laughed and said no I don't have time.
Qamar Zaman says that he did not throw his racket at anyone or else, but rather kept himself relieved.
From a salary of sixty rupees to a sponsorship of millions
Qamar Zman used to play tennis in Quetta. His father, Muhammad Ayub, was tennis coach at Quetta Club.
Qamar Zman got his first job playing tennis with members at the Railways Club, for which he got sixty rupees.
The turning point of his career came when he won the national junior tennis title in Lahore. The then Railway Chief Engineer Munir Ahmed also arranged for him to reside in Lahore, but he returned to Quetta after only six months to remember the house.
When Qamar Zman won the British Open, Dunlap, an international sporting goods company, offered him a sponsorship deal.
A company representative came to Karachi with a draft contract and asked them how much money you would get?
The gentleman said five thousand pounds. He said no. Consumers probably think they have paid more money then said they did not answer three thousand pounds. When the deal was drafted in front of them, it was listed at £ 100,000.
