    Ghoshal, Shameena Emerge Winners In WSC Squash Classic Open 2025

    Willingdon Sports Club Squash Classic: Indian squash legend Saurav Ghoshal and Shameena Riaz, both representing Tamil Nadu, emerged the men’s and women’s champions, respectively, in the four-star Willingdon Sports Club Squash Classic Open 2025, which concluded at the WSC Squash courts here.

    Ghoshal, the 39-year-old medallist at the Asian and Commonwealth Games and winner of several titles at the PSA tour, retired from the circuit following the Hangzhou Asian Games. However, proved he still has it in him to teach a lesson or two to the younger generation of players as he dispatched top seed Suraj Chand of the Jindal Squash Academy, Vashind, 11-3, 11-2, 11-2 in the final.

    The younger and, probably fitter, Chand was never given a chance by Ghoshal to engage in long rallies as the former ace kept finding the corners with incredible accuracy to close points and finish off the match in quick time. The women’s final, though, lasted a bit longer and had its moments. But it was still a one-sided affair between the two unseeded players, with Shamima getting the better of Maharashtra’s Akanksha Gupta 11-7, 11-8, 11-4.
