India&rsquo;s ace squash players Joshna Chinappa and Saurav Ghosal advanced to the Round of 16 after easy wins in their respective women&rsquo;s and men&rsquo;s singles matches here on Saturday.
Both Chinappa and Ghosal, who are searching for the elusive <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/search/CWG-all" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">CWG</a> gold medal in singles, registered identical 3-0 victories in the Round of 32 matches.
Living up to her billing, Chinappa outclassed Meagan Best of Barbados. The 18-time national champion Chinappa won in straight sets (11-8, 11-9, 12-10).

She won the opening two sets without much fuss, but Best came back hard in the third one. However, Chinappa held her nerves to emerge victorious.
The 35-year-old Ghosal steamrolled Shamil Wakeel of Sri Lanka 11-4, 11-4, 11-6.
Ghosal was in complete control from the beginning and the Sri Lankan was simply no match for the Indian.
Meanwhile, Sunayna Sara Kuruvilla&rsquo;s campaign ended after she lost to Malaysia&rsquo;s Aifa Azman 7-11, 7-11, 7-11.
India&rsquo;s Ramit Tandon withdrew from the men&rsquo;s singles Round of 32 match due to an injury.&nbsp;
His Jamaican opponent Christopher Binnie thus got a walk-over and sailed into the next round.&nbsp;
