Joshna, Dipika exit from Cleveland Classic

OHIO (USA): Indian squash players Joshna Chinappa and Dipika Pallikal were ousted from the Cleveland Classic after going down in the quarter-finals here.
The sixth-seeded Joshna had the misfortune of meeting top seed Camille Serme of France. Even though she managed to put up a fight, Joshna went down in four games, losing 4-11, 11-5, 8-11, 2-11 to the French who is ranked four in the world.
On the other hand, Dipika, who was unseeded, failed to put up any resistance against Amanda Sobhy, the fourth seed.
The US player exploited the relatively weak backhand of Dipika to win in straight games 11-6, 11-7, 11-8.
