At $10K New Delhi 2009, India

Singles Semi Finals
(1) Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) bt (8) Dalila JAKUPOVIC (SLO) 76(4) 46 62
(2) Poojashree VENKATESHA (IND) bt (4) Isha LAKHANI (IND) 57 62 64

Very impressive win by Poojashree over more experienced Isha Lakhani, I liked the way she fought back in the match after losing first set ... Poojashree already lifted doubles title with Sanaa, so tomorrow she is lined up for double crown.
