Sivasangari gets invite to 'elite party'
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's S. Sivasangari has qualified for her first PSA Squash Tour Finals — in Toronto, Canada from June 23-27.
The elite event will feature the world's top eight men's and top eight women's players.
The other women's players who will feature in the Tour Finals are world No. 1 Nouran Gohar, world No. 2 Nour El Sherbini, world No. 3 Hania El Hammamy (all from Egypt), world No. 4 Olivia Weaver (United States), world No. 5 Amina Orfi (Egypt), world No. 6 Tinne Gilis (Belgium) and world No. 7 Satomi Watanabe (Japan).
Asian champion Sivasangari, who won the Cincinnati Open in February, will arrive in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow from Birmingham to discuss with the Squash Racquets Association of Malaysia whether to play in the Asian Championships in Kuching (June 17-21) or PSA Tour Finals (June 23-27).
It is impossible for Sivasangari to play in both the Asian meet and the PSA Tour Finals due to a clash of dates.
