Corren Conquers Indian Teenage Star In Country View Final

Indian teenage star Saurav Ghosal finally met his match in today's (Saturday) final of the Country View Squash Open in Kuala Lumpur when he went down in straight games to Australia's top seed Mike Corren.

Ghosal, a 17-year-old junior from Chennai in India, was making his professional debut on the PSA Tour.  After qualifying, the youngster swept past 4th seed Marcus Yeap, 5th seed Timothy Arnold and then No2 seed Kenneth Low to take his unexpected place in the final.

Corren, ranked 49 in the world - more than 200 places above his opponent who is listed at the very bottom of the Dunlop PSA World Rankings - overcame a nervous start, in which he squeezed the opening game by a single point, before ultimately securing his 15-14 15-6 15-10 victory in 42 minutes.

Originally from Adelaide, 29-year-old Corren is now based in the Malaysian capital and celebrating his 7th PSA Tour title in 11 final appearances.
