Jahangir Khan is simply the greatest squash player of all time — an athlete whose dominance of his sport remains unparalleled in the history of professional racquet sports.
Born in Karachi, Pakistan on 10th December 1963, he became the youngest ever World Amateur Champion at the age of 15. What followed was a career of almost incomprehensible achievement: six World Open titles, ten British Open titles, and an unbeaten run of 555 consecutive matches over five years and eight months — a record without parallel in any major professional sport.
Time Magazine called him "the greatest, if winning is everything." His playing style combined extraordinary physical fitness with tactical intelligence and mental fortitude that set him apart from all opponents.
After retiring from competition, Jahangir Khan has been an ambassador for squash globally and a mentor to the next generation of Pakistani and Asian athletes.
