Squash sensation Anahat eyes Junior Worlds medal after Commonwealth Games fame

The Hindu  

Teenage squash sensation Anahat Singh, the youngest member of the 2022 Commonwealth Games Indian contingent, is impressively articulate for a 14-year-old. The experienced senior players know how to turn the game around if they are losing," she says at the HCL-SRFI PSA Indian Tour at the ISA courts here on Wednesday. It was her play in the Commonwealth Games second round loss to Wales' Emily Whitlock that made her confident of playing in the Professional Squash Association circuit. Playing her first-round match itself in the main glass court, Abhay Singh getting her a chocolate bar every night just before she went to bed, and meeting her idol P. V. Sindhu are her memorable CWG moments.
