The talented Iranian defeated no.7 seed Chen Feng from Singapore (11-6, 3-11, 11-5, 11-5, 11-4) at the quarter-final stage.

In semi-final, Alamiyan beat no.10 seed  Asuka Machi of Japan (7-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-8, 9-11, 11-5).

The 21-year old faced Egypt’s Omar Assar in the final game and came from two sets down to beat him 4-2.

Alamiyan defeated Assar (7-11, 9-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-6, 13-11) and won the award worth $1680.

It was another Under 21 Men’s Singles title for Noshad Alamiyan to add to his growing collection of honors.
