Parthiban in main draw of India squash challenger
January 19th, 2010 - 9:33 pm ICT by IANSChennai, Jan 19 (IANS) In an all-Indian qualifying round, A. Parthiban got the better of Karan Malik to make it to the main draw of the $10,000 PSA Indian Challenger-6 squash tournament here Tuesday.
Parthiban retrieved all that was thrown at him and wore out lanky Karan. Only in the second game was Karan able to keep his depth and get his opponent behind him.
In the WISPA Indian Challenger-4, Siyoli Waters beat Ankita Sharma in four games and will meet Indian Dipika Pallikal in the main draw.
Surbhi Misra squandered her lead in the second game after winning the first comfortably and went down tamely to Faustine Gilles for France. However, Surbhi qualified for the main draw as she became a ‘lucky loser’ since Jenna Gates (England) who was to play Joshna Chinappa, pulled out due to an injury.
The results:
PSA (final round qualifying): Naresh Kumar bt Naveen Jangra 11-5, 8-11, 11-9, 11-9 (35m); Abhishek Pradhan bt Deepak Mishra 11-3, 11-7, 11-5 (22m); A Parthiban bt Karan Malik 11-9, 6-11, 11-5, 11-4 (26m); Gaurav Nandrajog bt B Balamurugan 11-8, 11-3, 11-6 (28m).
WISPA (final round qualifying): Siyoli Waters (RSA) bt Ankita Sharma 11-3, 9-11, 11-1, 11-3; Faustine Gilles (FRA) bt Surbhi Misra 5-11, 13-11, 11-5, 11-3 (32m).
