Jason Ray Khalil captures double titles in the ‘Doubles’ finals

JASON Ray Khalil captured the Men’s and Mixed Doubles on Saturday in the Doubles Finals of the One Guyana President’s Cup Squash 2025 matches at the National Racquet Centre (NRC) on Woolford Avenue.

Khalil and Nicholas Verway defeated the pair of Sunny Seth and Alex Arjoon 11-7, 8-11, 11-9 in a competitive Men’s Doubles final after teaming up with his

sister to beat Seth and Kirsten Gomes 11-4, 11-6 in the Mixed Doubles Final.

In the penultimate match played before the largest turnout of the tournament so far, which included the Guyana Squash Association (GSA), David Fernandes and double World Masters Champion and NRC’s ‘Wall of Famer’ Nicolette Fernandes, Verwey and Khalil took on Alex Arjoon and Sunny Seth in an entertaining Men’s Final.

Verwey and Khalil made excellent use of the recently constructed Doubles Court and demonstrated good shot selection to take the game 11-7.

But Arjoon and Seth would rebound from the defeat in the opening game and, playing some great Squash, won 11-8 to take the contest into a third game.

However, Verwey and Khalil would close out the game and the match, 11-9.
