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.
