The Delhi teenager, who achieved her first victory over a top 20 PSA World Rankings player earlier this week by defeating Melissa Alves, triumphed with a 12-10, 11-9, 11-9 scoreline in 36 minutes against Gilis to secure the biggest win of her career so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019m really excited and she\u2019s [Tinne Gilis] a top 10 player and this is the first time (I defeated a player in the top 10),\" she told the PSA website. \"I\u2019ve been really happy with the way I\u2019ve been playing this week and I was talking to my coaches earlier today and they said if I play the way I played yesterday, I have a chance against anyone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
I just came in with the mentality that I\u2019m just coming in to play my best squash and it paid off at the end. Coming into this event, I wouldn\u2019t be thinking that I would be here right now. I wasn\u2019t really playing too well the week before this event was coming up, but Greg [Gaultier] was there during the US Open and I went and trained with him for four days. I knew that if I trained hard and I was focused, I had a chance coming into this event and I\u2019m really happy.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
