Kolkata, Apr 16 (PTI) Saurav Ghosal failed to build on a bright start and went down fighting against third seeded Mohamed El Shorbagy of Egypt in the semifinals of the five-star PSA Indian Challenger at the Calcutta Racket Club courts here today. Tomorrow''s final will be an all-Egyptian affair as Tarek Momen produced a mini upset beating second seeded Cameron Pilley of Australia in the other semifinal. Dipika Pallikal kept Indian hopes alive in WISPA event beating top seeded Sharon Wee of Malaysia. Dipika will face Emma Beddoes of England in the final tomorrow. Dipika''s doubles partner Joshna Chinappa was not so fortunate as she erred her way out of the tournament against second seeded Emma Beddoes of England. Picking up from his brilliant quarterfinal win against top seed and world number 13 Adrian Grant of England yesterday, Saurav dominated the first game producing winners against a tentative Shorbagy. The Indian, enjoying his best international ranking at 29, looked to be at ease with his all court game and led the second game 7-4 against the 19-year-old Egyptian. Things turned the other way thereafter as Shorbagy turned to his front game and successfully finished a series of returns to make it 7-10 and levelled the game 1-1. More PTI TAP RG PDS
