Confidence is up after Asian Games display: Sandhu

Top player Harinder Pal Sandhu singled out the Indian men’s squad’s superb gold medal winning team effort at the 2014 Asian Games as a major confidence-booster for the players on the Professional Squash Association (PSA) tour.

“That performance has boosted the confidence of all of us,” Sandhu, who is ranked 56th in the world and seeded 5th in the 15,000 USD NSCI Open JSW Indian Squash Circuit, told reporters. Sandhu was part of the Indian squad that lifted the gold medal in Incheon, defeating Malaysia 2-0 in the team final. He had stepped on the court first and given India a flying start by outclassing Mohd Azlan Bin 3-1 before Ghosal sealed the gold medal with a hard-fought 3-2 win.
