Ritwik, Ghosal advance to the qualifying finals

Kuwait City: Ritwik Bhattacharya and reigning National champion Saurav Ghosal stand just one win away from making the main draw of $200,000 Kuwait Open squash tournament after advancing to the qualifying finals here.

While Ritwik upset Australian Aaron Frankcomb 11-4, 11-9, 11-6 in 53 minutes, Ghosal breezed past local favourite Mohd. Al-Tuwary 11-5, 11-0, 11-3 in just 29 minutes.

“I played on these courts in the Asians, so that helped me. Besides, I have been doing a lot of training in Holland and India,” Ritwik said after his win.

In the qualifying finals, Ritwik will take on American Julian Illingworth, while Ghosal will be up against Englishman Daryl Selby.

“I have played Daryl twice — in Qatar and Hong Kong — and lost despite going 2-0 up. Hopefully, I can go one better this time,” said Ghosal. — PTI
