Ghosal goes down fighting in semis

Surrey (UK), Oct 22 (PTI) Squash player Saurav Ghosal's exciting run at the PSA Channel VAS Championship ended with a loss to top seed Mohamed Elshorbagy of Egypt.

The Egyptian beat the Indian 13-11, 11-8, 11-9 in the semifinal played yesterday night.

Ghosal had come into the event as a qualifier and beaten two seeded players enroute to the last four.

Elshorbagy, a former world number one, proved a tough nut to crack.

However, it was not an easy match for the Egyptian as he was forced to save a game ball in the first game. Though Ghosal played high standards forcing Elshorbagy to earn his points, it was not good enough for a win
