New Delhi<\/strong>: Dipika Pallikal defeated Jaclyn Hawkes of New Zealand 11-5, 14-12, 11-9 in the first semifinal, which lasted for 40 minutes to move into the final of JP Morgan Tournament of Champions squash meet in New York here on Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the final, Pallikal will meet second seed the Natalie Grinham of Netherland, who edged past Egypt’s Nour El Sherbini 6-11, 11-5, 11-5, 7-11, 11-4 in the other women’s semifinal.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s final matchup will be a test of experience versus youth as 33-year-old Grinham and 20-year-old Pallikal play for the title. Experience carried the day \u2013 just barely- in Grinham\u2019s semifinal match against 16-year-old Nour El Sherbini. \u201cIt\u2019s not fair,\u201d Grinham said jokingly after the match. \u201cShe\u2019s half my age and twice my height.\u201d After dropping the first game 6-11, the second seed found her stride, winning the next two games 11-5. But El Sherbini came back in the fourth, winning it 11-7. \u201cNour changed her game a little bit in the fourth,\u201d Grinham reflected. \u201cI let her dictate the points, thinking that I would let her lose the match rather than trying to win it. So in the fifth, I knew I had to go out to win it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dipika effective when stepping in to take an early volley \u2013 a playing pattern that was the hallmark of her current coach Sarah FitzGerald. After coming off the court Pallikal\u2019s competitive instincts were evident. \u201cI won\u2019t be happy until I have finished my job and won the tournament,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the men’s event, World champion Nick Matthew and James Willstrop, who recently ousted him from the world No 1 ranking, will renew their rivalry in the final of the first World Series tournament of the year.\u00a0 Matthew defeated Greg Gaultier, the former world number one from France, 11-8, 11-9, 9-11, 11-4 while Willstrop outplayed outplaying Daryl Selby, the British national champion, 11-2, 11-3, 11-3. <\/p>\n
