Sivasangari aims for top three world ranking next season
KUALA LUMPUR: National squash player S. Sivasangari has a target for the 2026-27 season to break into the top three in the world.
Sivasangari, a national squash player from Malaysia, aims to break into the top three world rankings next season. Currently ranked No. 5 globally, the 27-year-old trains in Prague under former world champion Gregory Gaultier. Sivasangari's primary goal for the 2026-27 season is to advance from semi-finals to finals in major tournaments.
Her improved mindset and consistency have been key factors in her recent performance. The Kedahan player believes she can challenge the world's top four female squash players - Egypt's Hania El Hammamy, Amina Orfi, Nour ElSherbini, and American Olivia Weaver. Sivasangari has already had close matches with these top-ranked players.
Gaultier's guidance has significantly enhanced her game, instilling confidence in her abilities. Sivasangari will kick off the new season at the London Classic, followed by the Qatar Classic and the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where she hopes to win a gold medal and secure her spot for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
