  "account": "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.\n\nSivasangari 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.\n\nSivasangari'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.",
