Sivasangari fights back to reach Silicon Valley Open final

S Sivasangari, the current world No 4, fought back from a game deficit to reach the final of the Silicon Valley Open 2026 squash tournament. The Indian national player advanced by defeating India's Anahat Singh 5-11, 11-6, 11-4, 11-7 in a match that lasted just 37 minutes. This victory comes in the wake of Sivasangari's triumph at the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games, where she retained the women's singles gold medal.

Sivasangari will face Egypt's Farida Mohamed in the final on Friday, following Mohamed's win over American Marina Stefanoni 11-3, 4-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-8. The victory puts Mohamed in line for a chance to claim a tournament title after previously reaching the final.

Sivasangari's previous victory at the tournament came after a grueling three-set loss to American Olivia Weaver in the 2025 edition. With this win, she secures her place in a second consecutive final, giving her the opportunity to rectify the previous year's defeat.
