India's Joshna Chinappa reached the quarterfinal in the women's competition at the Australian Open Squash tournament in Melbourne.

Despite losing the first game, Joshna, seeded sixth got the better of 12th seed Megan Craig of New Zealand 5-11, 11-6, 11-6, 11-8. But a tough test awaits Joshna in her next next match as she takes on top seed Annie Au of Hong Kong. In the men's section, both Harinder and Mahesh failed to get past the second round hurdle. While sixth seeded Mahesh lost to Steve Finitsis of Australia 11-7, 11-4, 9-11, 9-11, 7-11, Harinder was shown the door by Malaysian Nafizwan Adnan 4-11, 11-7, 4-11, 15-13,9-11.
