CWG 2022: Joshna Chinappa loses in squash quarterfinals against Canada's Hollie Naughton

Joshna Chinappa's singles campaign at the CWG 2022 came to an end.

The 18-time national champion couldn't produce his best, losing 9-11 5-11 13-15 to the 27-year-old Haughton. Chinappa started on a positive note, taking a 6-3 lead but she let the advantage slip as Naughton drew parity at 6-6 and moved to 9-9 before grabbing the opening set with the required two points.

Naughton continued the momentum in the second to make it 2-0. Chinappa put up a good fight in the third, moving together till 13-13 when her rival once again stepped ahead to seal the contest.
