Mumbai, Aug 19 (PTI) Maharashtra's Yoshna Singh was on a roll, stunning top seeds Urwashi Joshi and Bhavana Goyal to enter the womens and the girls U-19 semi-finals of the 44th Maharashtra State Senior Open Squash Tournament on Monday.

Yoshna, who played her U-19 match just four hours before her womens tie, showed no signs of fatigue as she beat the tournament-favourite Urwashi 6-11, 11-1, 5-11, 11-6, 11-6 in the quarters here.

In the girls U-19 quarterfinals, Yoshna hardly faced any challenge on her way to an 11-4, 11-3, 11-2 rout of the top-seeded Bhavana.

In the mens event, Goa's Yash Fadtes hopes of a dual win ended as he could not match the speed and strength of the top-seeded Mahesh Mangaonkar and lost 5-11, 4-11, 7-11.

Rahul Baitha, who also was in line for a dual title, pushed Abhay Singh of Tamil Nadu to the limits before losing 9-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-6, 7-11.
