SPRITE - ISP ALL INDIA OPEN SQUASH TOURNAMENT 2009

Gaurav, Janet victorious                                                                                       (25/08/2009)
Top seed Gaurav Nandrajog of Delhi proved too strong for second seed Amjad Khan and the close title match never materialized, with the former winning 11-6, 11-4, 11-5 to lift the men's open title in the Rs 2.10 lakh prize money ISP-Sprite All India Squash Open tournament at the Kendriya Vidyalaya Squash Courts, R K Puram. Nandrajog earned Rs 50,000 for his efforts at the hands of former CM of MP, Digvijay Singh, the guest of honour and Mahendra Agarwal, Founder Director of ISP.

Most of the matches went according to ranking, though boys under-17 Pehlaj Bajwa of Chandigarh was taken the distance by second seed Abhijit Malik before laying his hands on the trophy after winning 4-11, 11-9, 12-10, 6-11, 11-6.

Another player to impress was the upcoming Janet Vidhi of Delhi, who won the girls under-17 title with a four-game win over Pankhuri Malhotra. The sturdily built Janet dropped the third game and then doggedly fought to win the closely contested fourth to register a 11-9, 11-7, 8-11, 15-13 scoreline. 

Delhi's domination was broken by two players from Maharashtra, Rahil Fazelbhoy and Yohan Pandole winning the boys under-15 and under-13 title respectively. While Fazelbhoy beat Delhi's Dhivj Singh 11-8, 11-5, 11-5, Pandole dropped a game to Junaid Muzaffar before winning 11-7, 11-5, 11-6.


Mr. Digvijay Singh (General Secretary, All India Congress Committee and former National Squash Player) along with the winners of All India ISP-Sprite Squash tournament held in R.K. Puram, Kendriya Vidyalaya, New Delhi.
