The Story in Brief
India's Sanya Vats finished runner-up at the Ballarat Open squash, a USD 3,000 PSA Challenger event in Victoria, Australia. The second seed went down 6-11, 8-11, 6-11 to top seed and local favourite Sarah Cardwell in the women's final on Sunday.
The Delhi girl earlier beat South Korea's Ain Jun 11-5, 11-8, 11-4 in the semifinals after defeating another South Korean, Sunghee Oh, 6-11, 11-9, 12-10, 11-4 in the quarterfinals.
The Indian Opinion
A runner-up finish in a small Challenger is a solid result, but some fans may overhype it as a breakthrough. Indian squash is making steady gains, but Sanya needs to step up against top-50 players to make a real mark. The test will be whether she can push deeper in higher-tier PSA events later this year.
