Failing to translate a good start into a productive end, India's Harinder Pal Sandhu went down to the local challenger and second seed Campbell Grayson in four games in the quarter-final of the NZ International Classic 2015 squash tournament here on Friday.

The slide began there before he briefly had the attention on him by plucking the third game with a smart change of strategy and finding the drops well.
However, the New Zealander was not to be stopped as he worked out a 11-9, 11-8, 8-11, 11-5 win to earn a semi-final berth.
