After two brothers fought it out today's (Wednesday) top quarter-final in the PSF-CAA Pakistan International Circuit No2 in the Pakistan capital Islamabad, two further siblings will do battle in tomorrow's semi-finals of the $12,000 PSA World Tour squash event at the Mushaf Squash Complex.

Top seed Aamir Atlas Khan, the 19-year-old world No22 from Peshawar, needed 40 minutes to quash his 16-year-old brother Danish Atlas Khan, the No6 seed, 11-8, 9-11, 12-10, 2-11, 11-9.

Atlas Khan senior will now face Aqib Hanif for a place in the final after the seventh seed despatched wildcard Waqas Mehboob 11-8, 9-11, 11-5, 11-2.

There was better success for Waqas's two older brothers Waqar Mehboob and Farhan Mehboob who took their anticipated places in the last four, albeit in contrasting circumstances.

Second seed Farhan, aged 21, cruised to an 11-7, 11-9, 11-9 victory in just 23 minutes over experienced opponent Mansoor Zaman, the fifth seed and a former world No11.

But 18-year-old Waqar had to recover from two games down before beating eighth seed Nasir Iqbal 9-11, 9-11, 13-11, 11-8, 11-5 in 65 minutes.

Semi-final line-up:
[1] Aamir Atlas Khan (PAK) v [7] Aqib Hanif (PAK)
[2] Farhan Mehboob (PAK) v [4] Waqar Mehboob (PAK)
