Ghosal had to use all his experience to prevail against a much younger Ibrahim at the iconic Grand Central Terminal here. The Indian will meet Peru's third seed Diego Elias in the semifinals.

바카라It means so much, this is my 11th time here and I hadn바카라t gotten this far,바카라 Ghosal was quoted as saying by Professional Squash Association (PSA), the world governing body.

 바카라I바카라ve been putting a lot of work in and it바카라s good to see it come to fruition. For it to come to fruition at somewhere like Grand Central Terminal is brilliant, I바카라m super happy."

On his opponent, he added: 바카라I don바카라t think you can call Youssef an up-and-coming player anymore, he바카라s chopping people that are much higher up. He바카라s playing at such a high level, it바카라s so difficult to play him.

바카라I had to be super disciplined in my head to execute the plan that David Palmer, who has been coaching me, had put together. He바카라s going to be around for a really long time entertaining a lot of people around the world.

바카라I바카라m just glad that today we had such a good match and hopefully we can have a few more before I walk into the sunset," Ghosal added.
