Anahat Singh becomes 3rd Indian to win squash silver at Asian Games
Anahat Singh claimed the silver medal in women's squash singles at the Asian Games on Sunday, becoming India's third Indian squash player to achieve such a feat. The 18-year-old faced a determined Malaysian top seed, Sivasangari Subramaniam, in the final match. Singh's journey to the final had been a hard-fought one, with her only loss coming against teammate Satomi Watanabe in the semi-finals.
In the final, Singh dropped the opening two games against Subramaniam, but made a remarkable comeback to win the third game and seal the match. Subramaniam, who had never dropped a game in the tournament, had dominated from start to finish, claiming gold and setting a record for the first-ever female squash player to earn an Olympic qualification ticket in 2028. India's Abhay Singh and Anahat had both failed to secure gold, with Abhay falling to fellow Malaysian Eain Yow Ng in the men's singles final.
