Playing against tournament favourites always brings about the best in our girls said an ecstatic National Coach, Cyrus Poncha. Both Dipika Pallikal and Joshna Chinappa outplayed higher ranked opponents Annie Au and Joey Chan, World No.6 and World No.16 respectively. Joshna is currently world no. 71 and just came back from an injury layoff, but nothing stopped her from stopping her much fancied opponent from Hong Kong.
In the Men's section, a much improved Farhan Mehboob defeated top seed Sourav Ghoshal 11-7,7-11, 7-11, 11-7, 11-9, while Farhan Zaman defeated Siddharth Suchde 11-6, 11-7, 11-13, 7-11, 11-9. Both the matches went into the deciding set as the crowd got ecstatic at the Salem Al-Sabah Int'l Squash Complex, Kuwait
