New York, January 19: Indian No.1 Saurav Ghosal booked his place in the third round of the JP Morgan Squash Tournament of Champions courtesy of a 3-1 victory over New Zealand's Campbell Grayson at New York's Grand Central Terminal.

Ghosal, the 32-year-old from Kolkata, was in fine form to take an 11-7, 11-5, 11-8 victory in 48 minutes to set up a third round clash with New Zealand's Paul Coll.

"He had a fantastic win against Leo Au in the first round," said Ghosal.

"He played some unbelievable squash and he is doing really well over the last few months in terms of the quality of squash he is playing.

"I knew this was going to be tough, I played him in September at the (Oracle) NetSuite Open in San Francisco and that was tough. These long matches are hard and Campbell is such a skilful player and he plays proper, structured squash. It is not easy to impose your game and dominate him but I won 3-0 and I am happy to take this."

Ghosal's match with Coll will take place at 12.45 GMT (6.15pm IST) on Sunday, January 2, and will be shown live on SQUASHTV.
