Joshna produced a superb fightback from two games down to Malaysian Low Wee Wern, to win fifth game 16-14 ... This victory was Chinappa's third WISPA title, both her previous title wins coming in NSC series events last year.

Joshna Chinappa - "It was a tough match and I had to play well to fight back from two games down. I feel I am mentally fitter and stronger now. On a personal note I would like to thank my coaches at ISA -- Major Maniam and Cyrus Poncha, the Mittal Trust, the boys and girls who train with me at the academy and my parents for all their support. Now I want to maintain my winning run to break into the top 20 WISPA rankings soon."
