Chennai, Sep 8 - Mumbai's unseeded Jangra brothers, Sandeep, Vikas and Naveen, outwitted their respective rivals to progress to the main draw of the 2009 PSA Indian Challenger-Three here Tuesday.

Naveen is attached to the Indian Squash Academy (ISA) for over an year now, while Sandeep and Vikas undergo coaching at the ISA on a regular basis.

The fourth slot of qualifying went to third seeded Maekawa Kouske (Japan) who accounted for Karan Malik of India at 11-13, 12-10, 11-6, 14-12 in 40 minutes.

After winning the first game, Malik failed to wrap up the second and fourth games mainly due to unforced errors. Karan showed urgency in going for the finish from short rallies and most often, he was inconsistent.

In all the games, Karan led by three or four points but allowed Maekawa to get back into the game. At times, Karan came up with unbelievable returns from his flowing forehands but at vital hours, the Indian played into his rivals hands, mostly on his back hands.

Karan's impatience was cashed in well by Maekawa, especially in the fourth game where the Indian managed to level the score with two superb winners at 11-11 and then saved a match point only to fritter it away by hitting the tin twice.

Earlier, Sandeep was at his usual best in disposing off Balamurugan at 11-5, 11-6, 11-4 (25 mts). Sandeep kept up the pressure on Balamurugan, who is a coach at the ISA, after allowing the latter to be on equal terms mid-way through the games.
