Dipika Pallikal advances

March 20, 2014 02:49 am | Updated May 19, 2016 09:57 am IST - Penang (Malaysia):

India’s Dipika Pallikal entered the pre-quarterfinals of the women’s world squash championship beating English qualifier Lisa Aitken 3-0 here on Wednesday.

The 11-2, 11-6, 11-5 win over Aitken came as a relief for the world No.11 who entered the prestigious event without having won a main draw match this year.

“The first round can always be a bit dodgy and I am glad I played some good squash. Playing against Raneem will obviously be very tough but I am hoping to play well and take my first win off her,” Dipika said.
