British Open squash: Ghosal wins opener, Joshana makes main draw

Saurav Ghosal blanked Jonathan Kemp in his men's first round match while Joshana Chinappa rallied past Deon Saffery to make the women's draw at the Allam British Open Squash Championships here Monday.

World No.19 Ghosal played a solid match to get past the English qualifier at the KC Stadium.

Ghosal had to fight hard in the first game before completing an 11-9, 11-6, 11-6 win, sending the Indian into the round of 16 where he plays either fourth seed Gregory Gaultier or Alister Walker.

"I am just glad to get through in three games against someone as talented as Kemp," Ghosal was quoted as saying by the tournament website.

"He doesn't give you any rhythm to play with, so I just had to keep it as tight as I could and he wasn't able to do what he sometimes can - last time we played it was 11/9 in the fifth.

"This is the British Open after all, so to be able to put in a good performance here is very encouraging for the next rounds," he said of the world's oldest tournament which makes a return to Yorkshire after almost 40 years.

In the women's category, 26th-ranked Joshana overcame a stiff challenge from No.48 Deon Saffery from Wales, advancing to the main draw with a 11-13, 11-9, 11-9, 11-5 victory. ...
