OPENING GAME POWER - KHAN Video available

Power claws back from the first game loss only to go down 2 games to one
after the 3rd. But makes an incredible comeback in the 4th to crush former
World #1 and former World Champion 15-4 in the 4th. Jansher Khan (now ranked
138 on the PSA from an inactive 1998 season due to severe knee problems)
makes entry into this event as a wildcard chosen by tournament organisers.
Khan would of otherwise had to qualify (which he has stated he would never
do!). Scores were: 10-15, 15-9, 9-15, 15-4, 15-11 to Jonathon Power!!!
