An action-packed opening day's play in the World Junior Squash Championships – the historic first to combine both men's and women's events simultaneously – led to the fallout of a number of seeds at the ICL Squash Academy in the Indian city of Chennai.
But the country's brightest star Dipika Pallikal, the 17-year-old from Chennai who is seeded to become India's first ever world squash champion, was untroubled in her opening match in the women's championship – taking just 14 minutes to overcome American Natasha Kingshott 11-2, 11-3, 11-1 to take her anticipated place in the third round.
The biggest shocks took place in the other event where Egypt's Mohamed El Shorbagy is expected to become only the second player in history to successfully defend the men's title. The 18-year-old from Alexandria brushed aside England's Nathan Lake 11-6, 10-12, 11-6, 11-4 to take his place in the last sixteen.
However, El Shorbagy's fellow countryman Karim Abdel Gawad failed to live up to expectations. The third seed from Cairo became the biggest casualty when he lost 15-13, 2-11, 11-5, 11-7 in 57 minutes to Pakistan's Nosherwan Khan. The 15-year-old from Peshawar, a 17/32 seed, will now take on France's 9/16 seed Lucas Serme for a place in the quarter-finals.
There was further Pakistani joy when Nasir Iqbal, a 15-year-old from Peshawar, claimed the scalp of seventh seed Henrik Mustonen - beating the 18-year-old Finn, winner of two European Squash Federation Junior circuit titles this month, 11-7, 11-9, 11-13, 7-11, 11-3 in 56 minutes.
But Mexican Miled Zarazua perhaps deserves the day's biggest praise after becoming the only unseeded player to reach the last men's sixteen. The 17-year-old from Mexico City first despatched Indian hope Aditya Jagtap, a 9/16 seed, in straight games, before overcoming Hong Kong's 17/32 seed Choy Kit Lun 11-9, 9-11, 9-11, 11-1, 11-7 in a 50-minute second round match.
