Those are really good wins by Dipika in a while. Hope her game gets back on track. She has fallen from being inside top 10 ( as per the title of this thread) to outside top 20. If she starts getting wins like these, ranking will automatically improve.

We have a fair idea of titles won by Indians in tennis, golf and badminton. Do we have the same information for squash? How many titles would the likes of Dipika, Joshna, Saurav Ghosal, Ritwik Bhattacharya and maybe even Misha Grewal won in the past?
