A first for squash: Dipika 038; Co. win Asian team title

Unperturbed by the difference in rankings,Joshna stamped her class over Chan from the beginning. Her aggressive play,laced with delicate drops and deception,was too much for Chan to handle as she dropped the first game 11-3 in less than 10 minutes.

Joshna kept her composure to keep an aggressive Chan at bay in the second game. The Hong Kong racqueter was more effective in the third game but Joshna came back and wrapped up the fourth and match.

Dipika went in next against a player she had never beaten before but that did not deter her determination. Dipikas aggression paid dividends against Annie,known for a steady lob and drop game. The Indian kept the pressure on her opponent throughout the match with her aggressive play and characteristic finishing shots. Annie tried to fight back in the third game,but Dipika held her nerves,winning six straight points to seal the title in Indias favour.
