Ghosal Takes Chennai Open Title

Indian favourite Saurav Ghosal was in devastating form in the final of the ICL Chennai Open Squash Championship at the ICL Squash Academy in Chennai where he crushed his second-seeded opponent Wai Hang Wong in just 21 minutes to keep the PSA Tour title in domestic hands for the third year in a row.

The 20-year-old from Chennai beat Honk Kong's Wong 11-3, 11-2, 11-3, thus making up for the disappointment of a runners-up finish in the event three years ago.

The triumph marks Indian National champion Ghosal's second PSA Tour title success - his first being at the Otters Open in Mumbai last September.
