ALL WISPA INDIAN TOURNAMENT RESULTS FROM 2008

Joshna wins her maiden WISPA crown in Chennai  : 27^th May 2012

Joshna Chinappa bagged her maiden WISPA crown — sixth overall — in her hometown, hardly seven months after recovering from a major knee surgery. The 25-year-old Indian gave it her all in scripting a 9-11, 11-4, 11-8, 12-10 win over England's Sarah Jane Perry in the final of the Chennai Open $10,000 women's squash tournament at the Indian Squash Academy.

Shrugging off a hesitant start where she lost her first game, Joshna came back strongly in the second. Sarah made a lot of uncharacteristic errors especially on the backhand. Joshna took a 7-3 lead, her confidence started to grow  and she beat Sarah in the second 11-4.

After taking the third game in a pretty close battle, Joshna held the mental edge. But it was Sarah who started off well, running away to a 7-3 lead in the fourth. Joshna didn't give up as she retrieved exceptionally to equalise at seven each.

Ranked eleven places below Sarah at 71, Joshna had two match points at 10-8, but Sarah saved both. At 11-10, Joshna was lucky to get a ‘let', and then a backhand error from Sarah saw Joshna win the title.

“It's great to win my first title in Chennai after being in the final twice earlier. I'm grateful to be playing, let alone winning. Winning is a bonus,” said Joshna, who received $1900 and 350 ranking points.

Urquhart tames Joshna, claims title (23/04/2011)

Australia 's Donna Urquhart dashed home hopes of success in the Women's Indian Challenger when she beat Joshna Chinappa in the final of the WISPA World Tour 12 squash event at the Indian Squash Academy in Chennai. 

Chinappa, the fourth seed from India , made her breakthrough in the semi’s where she beat higher-ranked national rival Dipika Pallikal, the No2 seed, in five games to also reach the 12th Tour final of her career. 

In the finals Chinappa, the reigning and ten times Indian national champion, took the opening game against Urquhart - and looked set to repeat her upset over the world No16 in their last meeting in Malaysia over two years ago. 

But Joshna, ranked 20 places lower, was unable to push on as Urquhart increased her variety of strokes to wrap up the match with confidence, winning 8-11, 11-4, 11-5, 11-6 in 39 minutes.

Maiden WISPA title for Dipika  

Dipika Pallikal ensured her graduation to the world of professional squash picking up her maiden WISPA title outclassing second-seeded Emma Beddoes of England 3-1 in the women's final of the Indian Challenger at the Calcutta Racket Club.

Dipika showed a better fitness level than her English opponent and effectively made the latter slog for the returns with her clever drops and boasts. Trailing 1-5 at one point, Dipika produced a series of winners to bring the score level at 7-7 while persisting in her attack to win the game 11-9.

In the second game dipika worked up an 8-3 lead maintaining her level of consistency and winning 11-8. Emma, apparently unnerved by the level of her opponent's game, made a desperate comeback bid and succeeded a bit in the third game where she caught Dipika relaxing and made the scoreline 2-1, winning the game 11-9.

Stirred up by the reverse, Dipika was back to her devastating form and made short work of her opponent winning the fourth game 11-6 and the match.
