India
's Siddarth Suchde staged an impressive victory over
Kuwait
's Abdullah Khalid H. Al-Mezayen in the quarter finals. In a
closely contested match, the players demonstrated deceptive racket skills,
creative use of the court and an array of shots before an appreciative
Penang
crowd. The match went to a fifth set decider, exactly what the tense
crowd was hoping for. "You never know what to expect of him [Al-Mezayen],"
said Suchde. "But it wasn't just that I lost the fourth, it was
how I lost it. I was up 7-5 and he won it 11-8. He outscored me
6-1 to finish it," Suchde continued, "In the fifth I reminded
myself of how I got here and tried to stick to a basic game plan."
Suchde
however lost to
Malaysia
's Ong Beng Hee in the semi final.

Malaysia,
Pakistan wins Gold, while India men and women team settle for bronze in Asian games
Guangzhou, China:

|
|
| The
Indian men and women had to be satisfied with bronze medals after
losing to Pakistan and Malaysia respectively in the semifinals of
the squash event. Though both teams lost in straight games (0-2),
the men fought a lot harder before bowing to Pakistan.
Saurav Ghosal went down 13-15,
11-5, 5-11, 6-11 in 52 minutes to Aamir Khan after Siddharth
Suchde played his heart out in an 83-minute battle before losing
14-16, 12-10, 9-11, 5-11 to Farhan Mehboob.
In the women's event Wee Wern Low required just 22 minutes to beat
Anaka 11-2, 11-4, 11-6 in the first rubber while World No. 1 Nicol
David was ruthless in her 11-4, 11-2, 11-3 demolition of Joshna.
“I have played better matches
against Nicol before but I couldn't play my best today.“Nicol is
quick and you need to be 100 per cent ready when you play someone
of her class. My idea was to get maximum points off her,'' said
Joshna.
In the individual event Saurav Ghoshal lost his semi-final clash against Mohammad Azlan Iskandar
of Malaysia to pick up a bronze medal in the men's singles.
World No. 25 Saurav fought hard against a player ranked ten places higher
than him but eventually lost 5-11, 11-6, 5-11, 10-12. Saurav also won a bronze at the Doha Games four years ago.
India could not win a medal in the women's singles as Dipika Pallikal and
Joshana Chinappa crashed out in the quarter-finals.
Three bronze medals was a
considerable improvement for the Indian squash squad which had
gone home with a solitary bronze won by Saurav Ghosal in the last
edition in Doha.

wins the Asian men's championship 2009
CHENNAI: Pakistan
and Hong Kong China emerged winners of the men's and women's team events
at the Asian squash championships held at Indian Squash Academy.
Malaysia
failed to retain the title after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Pakistan in
the final. National number three Mohd Nafiizwan Adnan went down 5-11,11-7,
4-11, 4-11 to Yasir Butt of Pakistan in the first tie.
Newly
crowned Asian champion Mohd Azlan Iskandar was a big letdown as all the
attention was on him to level the score but he floundered to go down 8-11,
9-11, 11-13 to Aamir Atlas Khan.
Azlan
defeated Aamir in the final of the individual final after the Pakistani
player retired in the third set because of a leg injury.
Pakistan
stopped Malaysia from winning the team title for the third straight time.
Malaysia won the last two editions in Taiwan (2006) and Kuwait (2008) by
defeating Pakistan on both occasions.
Debendranath
Sarangi, the government of Tamil Nadu's sports secretary and Srivatsan
Subramaniam, the SRFI secretary general, gave away the prizes.

Asian
team event championship: 8th May 2010.
Hongkong
women beat India to emerge champions in 15th Asian squash championship
Chennai:
Indian women's hopes of regaining the title were dashed as they put up a
poor show against second seeded Hong Kong who crushed them 2-0 to regain
the team title in the 15th Asian Squash championships at the Indian
Academy courts.
It
was a disappointing day for India as the team's star campaigner Joshna
Chinnappa went down tamely. In the first singles match, Anika Alankamony,
the rising talent, who was the youngest to win a WISPA singles title
earlier this year, showed promise in the first game, up 2-6 against Goey
Chana drew level 6-6 but Anika went on to win 7-11. However, Chan recouped
in time to win the next three games 11-1, 11-9,11-7.
This
put immense pressure on India's no 1 Joshna Chinnappa. But the world no
48, failed to hit form against Hong Kong's Rebecca Chieu, seeded no 2 and
the singles runner up. Like Anaka, Joshna also began in style with a 7-4
lead in the first game. But
Chieu with more experience behind her, drew level 7-7 with some fine shots
even as Joshna failed to hold her nerve. Rebecca won 11-7, 11-2, 11-5.
The
2-0 lead meant that Hong Kong saved themselves the trouble of playing the
third singles in which Annie Au was to take on Dipika Pallikal. The Hong
Kong eves required just 48 minutes to sweep the Indian eves off their
feet, as it were.
Rebecca
said “the win against Malaysia in the semifinals gave us the confidence
and determination to win the crown
Hong
Kong women had last won the team title in the year 2000.

Malaysia Celebrate Asian Squash Double
Top seeds Mohd Azlan
Iskandar and Nicol David won the fifth successive Malaysian
double in the Asian Squash Championships in the 14th
staging of the biennial event in Kuwait.
In the men's , Iskandar won the final by fighting hard for 2 hours
by compatriot Ong Beng Hee - the defending champion, ranked
two places lower in the world - before winning 5-9, 8-10, 9-5, 9-0, 9-7 to
secure the title for the first time.
But, arguably, the standout performance in the men's event was made by
20-year-old Abdullah Almezayen - a 9/16 seed who upset Pakistan's
5/8 seed Yasir Butt 9-3, 10-9, 4-9, 5-9, 10-8 in 98 minutes in the
last sixteen before overcoming India's 3/4 seed Saurav Ghosal in a
72-minute quarter-final to become the first Kuwaiti to reach the
semi-finals this decade.
The women's event saw Malaysia
's Nicol David confirm her status as the undisputed Queen of Asian Squash
when she beat long-time Hong Kong rival Rebecca
Chiu 9-5, 9-2, 9-2 in 34 minutes in the final.
David, voted the 'Asian Sportswoman of the Year' in December, has now won
the prestigious title for a remarkable six times in a row - since first
claiming the crown in 1998 as a 14-year-old!
The triumph also marks the fourth Asian Championship final in which David
has beaten Chiu - and brings the total of her regional singles titles
(including the Asian Games and Asian Junior Championships)
to ten!
