I dont know how Im ever going to rear children, says Joshna Chinappa, Indias highest-ranked squash player, breaking into an infectious laugh, before filling us in on the sprint sessions at the Marina beach in Chennai which have left her sapped.Only two days ago 29 year-old Joshna rose to her career-best ranking of No 10 in the world, to become the highest-placed Indian squash player. Theres, however, no hint of a giveaway to suggest the feat shes scaled. Probe her further and you learn why.Im happy to have broken into the top 10. Rankings arent my focus though. I obviously have it at the back of my mind, like most other athletes. Scores are what matter. Once your performance is taken care of, everything else follows, she says.Behind the impressive world ranking figures, lies a clutch of gritty shows and a steely resolve. Shes only the second Indian after Dipika Pallikal to break into the top 10. Part of the Indian team which returned with silver after losing to eventual champions Malaysia at the Asian Team Championships in May, Joshna went on to finish runner-up after losing to top seed Joelle King of New Zealand but not before ousting second seed Annie Au in the semifinals of the HKFC tournament in Hong Kong.Joshna, who has been working with former world No 1 David Palmer for a year and a half now, says the thrust has been on sharpening her game and staying injury free. Known for his all-court attrition game, Palmer, based in Florida, has evidently been of help. I usually travel there two or three times a year with each session lasting a couple of weeks, she adds.Next up for the 14-time national champion is yet another edition of the nationals in Mumbai two weeks from now followed by the World Doubles championships in Darwin from August 15-19.Turning a career-threatening injury in August 2011 into a springboard for rediscovery proved to be pivotal for Joshna. Being stretchered off midway through her semifinal match at the Hamptons Open after a ligament tear on her left knee turned out to be a lot more morbid than it appeared. She could scarcely walk without limp, let alone touch a racket. Following surgery, doctors pretty much sounded the death knell on her playing career. Funnily, I almost forgot how to walk. My trainer kept telling me that if I kept limping I would end up walking like that.Her worst nightmare realised, Joshnas mind was clouded with doubts over being able to make a return to the playing circuit. Those who advised her to quit the sport, understandably, far outnumbered ones who urged her to hang in. She was away from the court for 10 months, her ranking nosediving from 31 to 72. I was worried whether my knee would ever heal but I never contemplated quitting. When I look back I can say with a fair amount of certainty that it was the best thing ever to have happened to me. I was going down the wrong path both professionally and personally and the injury helped me refocus and get back on track. Had it not been so I might not have been playing squash today, she says.In todays age, the increasing demand for sportspersons to flaunt a marketable image with a well-oiled PR machinery working overtime, in addition to their exploits in the sport, is passe. Results though, Joshna insists, is what finally matters.Brands would only sign a player whos performing. I dont put much conscious effort into promoting myself off the court. My results would speak for themselves, says Joshna, who has been endorsing leading sport apparel, Nike, for a decade now.While acknowledging that her career has hit a purple patch, Joshna says she isnt sitting back just yet. Im not overtly ambitious but I reckon Ive still a decent number of playing years left in me. My best is yet to come.

Just call him Marc Janko - with a bonus.One look at the pedigree of Sydney FCs marquee striker Bobo is enough to convince even sceptics he can deliver the goals so sorely missed last A-League season.The 31-year-old Brazilian import is Besiktas all-time top scorer, with 97 goals in 222 games.Hes won championships with the Turkish giants and Brazilian side Corinthians, hit the back of the net in the Champions League and represented Brazil at under-20 level.Its no surprise coach Graham Arnold believes Bobo can help steer the Sky Blues back to the heights of 2014-15, when Austrian international Janko belted in 16 goals to propel the club to the grand final.But Arnold says his new foreign striker offers more than the clinical finishing of his predecessor.Unlike Janko, almost exclusively a poacher, Bobo is also a creator.He can do both, Arnold told AAP.Janko was a player who stood offside most of the time and waited for the chances - Bobos a player who gets involved in the build-up.Marc scored 16 goals and got maybe one or two assists - Bobo will get goals and assists.He gets involved in combination play, but also makes a lot of forward runs to score goals.It was on display in last weeks 3-0 FFA Cup quarter-final win, when his clever movement yieelded two assists and a maiden club goal against Blacktown City.ddddddddddddIt was the standout factor when Arnold and football manager Terry McFlynn were analysing the 158 CVs sent in by hopefuls.He was about No.120 that we kept looking back at, Arnold said.Positive character references from former Sydney player Juninho and the clubs other marquee player, ex-Besiktas teammate Filip Holosko, sealed the deal.Bobo and Holosko have seamlessly revived their attacking partnership, one element of a front third already showing more spark.Albeit only in pre-season, there have been encouraging signs from David Carney, Milos Ninkovic and returning captain Alex Brosque, with gifted winger Bernie Ibini expected to get minutes imminently.Arnold is under no illusions his team need to deliver after last seasons seventh-placed finish.Bobo isnt daunted by the pressure; hes dealt with it many times over a 13-year career.Filip being here has helped my transition, which has straight away shown on the field, said Bobo, who last played for Brazilian side Gremio.Its a big club with a winning culture. I want to win and develop my game.
