Dipika Pallikal wins third WISPA crown of year in Hong Kong: 18/12/2011

Dipika Pallikal rounded off a very successful year with another victory, her third WISPA crown in 2011. The India No. 1 overcame a tough challenge from local favourite Joey Chan to win the Crocodile Challenge Cup in Hong Kong, after a grueling five-game affair.

The 20-year-old has had a golden year, having won two crowns in the US in September and October before rounding off the season with the triumph in Hong Kong. Dipika had also become the first Indian to reach the quarterfinals of the World Open last month, her exploits pushing her closer to the top-10 of women's squash, which is her target for next year. This is her fifth win in her professional career.

As of now, Dipika is happy she could end the year on a high and believes the difference has been the guidance and presence of her Aussie coach Sarah Fitz-Gerald, a five-time world champion.

"I think what made the difference is that I had my coach Sarah Fitz-Gerald with me during this tournament. Getting her to travel with me will help me a lot. I hope I get more sponsor support so that I have my coach traveling with me during tournaments," added Dipika.
