Anahat Singh reaches her first PSA Gold-level semifinal after a five-game comeback
Anahat Singh beat Egypt’s Salma Hany 3–2 in a 42-minute quarter-final to reach her first PSA Gold-level semifinal, reports published on 23 October said.
Anahat Singh came back from a 2–1 deficit to defeat Salma Hany 4–11, 11–8, 4–11, 11–2, 11–5 in 42 minutes at the Silicon Valley Open, reaching her first PSA Gold-level semifinal.
The quarter-final result
The Indian Express reported that Anahat Singh defeated Egypt’s world No. 14 Salma Hany in five games at the Silicon Valley Open in Redwood City, California. The scoreline was 4–11, 11–8, 4–11, 11–2, 11–5, and the match lasted 42 minutes.
The win followed a straight-games victory over eight-time world champion Nour El Sherbini, reported as 11–8, 11–8, 11–7. The two results put the 18-year-old into the last four of a PSA Gold event for the first time.
What the milestone does and does not mean
