Sivasangari fights back to reach Silicon Valley Open final

S Sivasangari made a stunning comeback to reach the final of the Silicon Valley Open 2026 squash tournament in Redwood City, California. The tournament third seed battled back from a game deficit to defeat India's Anahat Singh 5-11, 11-6, 11-4, 11-7 in just 37 minutes. This victory comes in a rematch of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games final, where Sivasangari had won gold.

Sivasangari, who recently retained the women's singles title at the Asian Games in Japan, will face Egypt's Farida Mohamed in the final later today. Farida, currently ranked world No 20, upset American Marina Stefanoni 11-3, 4-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-8 en route to the final. Sivasangari, currently world No 4, advances to her second consecutive final at the tournament, providing an opportunity to make up for her loss to American Olivia Weaver in last year's final.
