Chinappa finally managed a win against Grinham…

Joshna Chinappa ended a career-long losing run against Rachael Grinham, beating her 11-9, 11-5, 11-8 in the final to win the inaugural Richmond Open. She is not all happy though, as the fact that the sport isn’t growing in the country makes her sad.

Eyeing her first major title, Dipika Pallikal slipped in the final hurdle, losing 7-11, 11-5, 7-11 in the final against Nour El Sherbini in the Texas Open. In Egypt, Sourav Ghosal gave World No. 1 Gregory Gaultier a scare before eventually succumbing 11-9, 8-11, 10-12, 11-4, 11-8 in an opening round contest in the Professional Squash Association World Series event.
