PSA Kolkata International tournament at the Calcutta Racket Club 2011
Karim Crowned Kolkata King

In the longest three-game match either player had ever played, world No3 Karim Darwish overcame fellow Egyptian Omar Mosaad in today's final of the $35000 PSA Kolkata International tournament at the Calcutta Racket Club.  

In   the semifinals Karim Darwish dashed hopes of local success when he defeated the Kolkata-born Indian number one Saurav Ghosal in the semi-finals. 

Despite the distraction of the cricket world cup final, Calcutta Club regulars turned up as if bound by duty to support their fourth-seeded local hero in his match against the Egyptian favourite.  

"Ghosal did not disappoint. And had the opening game ended up in his favour, then who knows?"  

The 24-year-old world No23 matched Darwish shot for shot and, after trailing 0-3, caught up with the Egyptian at 7-7. Ghosal retrieved almost every ball with amazing agility. Tied at nine-all, a 'stroke' went against Ghosal, and Darwish followed that up with a perfectly played drop to steal the first game.

Ghosal came back all guns blazing in the second and from 4-4 opened up a 10-4 lead. He kept the ball in play and mixed it up with a range of drops and boasts. Darwish helped Ghosal's cause with a couple of mistimed shots that hit the tin.  

But, with the score poised at one game all and 2-2 in the third, Ghosal tripped on Darwish's heel and crashed into the wall, bruising his knee. The Indian star took a three-minute time-out to apply ice, but the break did not help his cause.  

Darwish took full advantage and went on to claim the 11-9, 5-11, 11-9, 11-4 victory in 54 minutes.

Men's Indian Squash Challenger No7, Kolkata, India: 14th April 2010.

El Shorbagy Celebrates Historic Tour Win In Kolkata  

Egyptian teenager Mohamed El Shorbagy won the $50,000 Indian Challenger No7 at The Calcutta Racket Club in Kolkata and became the first player in history to secure his maiden PSA World Tour squash title at a 5-star event. 3  

The event climaxed in a surprise all-Egyptian final, between 19-year-old El Shorbagy, the third seed from Alexandria, and Cairo-based Tarek Momen, the No7 seed – with both players having reached Tour finals before, but each looking for his first title success.

The triumph marks the latest chapter in El Shorbagy's already distinguished career, which includes winning the world junior title twice and reaching the quarter-finals of the World Open as a 17-year-old qualifier.  The UK-based University student made his debut in the PSA world top 20 last May and at the end of the year was honoured with the PSA Young Player of the Year Award.
