Supreet Downs Jangra In Five –Game Thriller (Article in
Indian Express , Mumbai : 9/4/ 2006)
In the second league match of the Top-8
ISP-Championship, championship, Supreet Singh showed his class to outplay
Vikas Jangra.
Overcoming a two-game deficit, the 22-year-old Supreet,
who also plays on the professionals squash Association (PSA) circuit, won
7-11, 6-11, 11-9, 11-8, 11-8.
Meanwhile, former National champion Manish Chotrani
scored an easy was expected to be given a tough fight by Sandeep, but the
youngster hardly troubles the canny Chotrani, who won with ease.
The talking point of the day was Supreet’s comeback win
over Jangra. After having won the first two games on a canter, one hardly
expected Jangra to let the initiative slip. But Supreet turned the tide,
hustling Jangra and not giving him space to go for winners.
