Anahat Singh: the Indian squash player building a senior-tour breakthrough
Anahat Singh, reported as 18 and world No. 15 in October coverage, reached her first PSA Gold-level semifinal after defeating Salma Hany and Nour El Sherbini.
Anahat Singh is an Indian squash player whose 2026 results include a girls’ singles world-junior title and a first PSA Gold-level semifinal at the Silicon Valley Open.
Recent milestones
October reporting described Anahat as an 18-year-old Indian player ranked world No. 15 at the time of the Silicon Valley Open. She beat Egypt’s eight-time world champion Nour El Sherbini in straight games, then recovered from a 2–1 deficit to beat Salma Hany in a five-game quarter-final.
The semifinal berth is a milestone on the senior professional circuit. It should not be confused with a tournament win: the quarter-final result and the later match are separate stages.
Why her progress matters
The run connects junior success with competition against established senior players. It also shows why a single match result needs context: opponent ranking, event tier and round all matter when comparing performances.
