\"JoshnaChennai: <\/strong>India’s top junior Anaka Alankamony scripted a commendable 4-11, 11-0, 11-5, 4-11, 11-8 win over seventh seed Zulhijah Binti Azan of Malaysia as she joined second seed and compatriot Joshna Chinappa in the quarter-finals of the Chennai Open squash tournament here Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Anaka was rather listless at the start but, after losing the first game, bounced back strongly to take the second without conceding a point and maintained her momentum to take the third.<\/p>\n

However, Anaka turned error-prone in the fourth that she lost rather tamely. The Indian’s up-and-down performance continued in the decider as she led 4-1, but fell behind 4-7 before surging back into contention with some aggressive display to subdue the Malaysian.<\/p>\n

Joshna dropped a game to Egypt’s Nouran Ahmed Gohar before pulling through 11-8, 11-9, 5-11, 11-7.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, India’s under-15 champion Harshit Kaur put on a fighting performance before going down to fourth seed Malaysia’s Pushpa Devi, who had to work hard for her 11-8, 12-10, 12-10 win.<\/p>\n

The results (pre-quarter-finals): 1-Siti Munirah Jusoh (MAS) bt Saai Meera (IND) 11-4 11-1 12-10 ; Anaka Alankamony (IND) bt 7-Zulhijjah Binti Azan (MAS) 4-11 11-0 11-5 4-11 11-8; 3-Sarah Jane Perry (ENG) bt Jessica Turnbull (AUS) 11-4 11-2 11-6; 8-Victroria Bell (ENG) bt Lakshya Ragavendran (IND) 11-8 11-3 11-6; 5-Salma Hany Ibrahim Ahmed (EGY) bt Mariam Ibrahim Metwally (EGY) 11-6 6-11 14-12 10-12 11-5; 4-Pushppa Devi (MAS) bt Harshit Kaur Jawanda (IND) 11-8 12-10 12-10; 6-Carrie Ramsey (ENG) bt Ashita Bhengra (IND) 11-5 11-0 11-2; 2-Joshna Chinappa (IND) bt Nouran Ahmed Gohar (EGY) 11-8 11-9 5-11 11-7.
