KUALA LUMPUR: S. Sivasangari is on a promising trajectory to challenge for a podium finish at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics after ascending to a career-high No. 4 in the latest PSA world rankings. The 27-year-old Malaysian woman, who recently secured her Asian Games title in Aichi-Nagoya, is only the second Malaysian to break into the world's top four since Datuk Nicol David.
Sivasangari, under the guidance of coach Gregory Gaultier, has demonstrated significant improvement, defeating top players such as Amina Orfi, Hania El Hammamy, and Nour El Sherbini. With 17 PSA Tour titles, she could ascend further in rankings if she sustains her current performance. Former SRAM coaching director, Major (rtd) S. Maniam, expressed pride in Sivasangari's achievements, predicting she could reach the world's top three and challenge for the No. 1 ranking.
The next challenge for the Malaysian squash sensation is to deliver consistent performances against the world's best in tournaments like the Silicon Valley Open.
