Chin up, Sangari
PETALING JAYA: It may have been a disappointing end to the season for squash player S. Sivasangari (pic), but her overall campaign was far from a letdown. Squash Racquets Association of Malaysia (SRAM) coaching director Andrew Cross believes there is no reason for Sivasangari to dwell on poor results at the PSA World Tour Finals in Toronto last week, as it do not reflect the strong season she has had.

Fever ends Eain Yow's hat-trick bid at Asian Championships
KUALA LUMPUR: Ng Eain Yow's bid for a third consecutive men's title at the Asian Championships has come to an abrupt end after the world No. 13 withdrew from the tournament in Kuching due to fever. The 27-year-old had clinched the title in 2021 (Islamabad) and 2023 (Hong Kong) and was aiming to complete a hat-trick as the top seed in the tournament, which begins on Tuesday. Squash Racquets Association of Malaysia (SRAM) coaching director Andrew Cross confirmed the withdrawal, which deals a major blow to Malaysia's title hopes — especially with world No. 8 S. Sivasangari also skipping the tournament after qualifying for the season-ending PSA World Tour Finals. With Eain Yow out, Qatar's world No. 22 Abdullah Al-Tamimi is now the top seed in the men's event, followed by Hong Kong's world No. 41 Lau Tsz Kwan. Malaysia's hopes rest on national No. 2 and world No. 74 Sanjay Jeeva, who has shown promise with semi-final runs at the Wealth Open and McMillan Goodfellow Classic. Also in the men's draw are Duncan Lee, Harith Danial, Joachim Chuah, Low Wa Sern and C. Ameeshenraj. In the women's event, Malaysia's chances look brighter, with world No. 19 Rachel Arnold leading the charge as top seed. Rachel, winner of the China Open in February, is aiming to go one better than her runner-up finish in Islamabad in 2021. Second seed and world No. 26 Aira Azman could set up an all-Malaysian final, provided both players avoid upsets. Also flying the flag in the women's draw are Aifa Azman, Ainaa Amani, Yee Xin Ying and Whitney Isabelle Wilson. Aira, 20, who is making her Asian Championships debut, is keen to make an impact. "There are five matches before the final, so I'll take it one round at a time. I won't take anyone lightly," said Aira. She received a first-round bye and is expected to meet third seed Ho Tze Lok of Hong Kong in the semi-finals. Barring surprises, Rachel awaits in the final. In last year's edition, Sivasangari finished runner-up after losing to Hong Kong's Chan Sin Yuk. The last Malaysian woman to win the Asian title was squash legend Datuk Nicol David, who lifted her 10th and final crown in Kuwait in 2015.

Debutante Sivasangari ready to punch above weight at PSA Finals
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 8 S. Sivasangari is eyeing a major breakthrough in her debut at the PSA World Tour Finals in Toronto next week after landing a decent group draw. The 26-year-old, who won the recent Cincinnati Cup and trains under French legend Gregory Gaultier in Prague, will be up against world No.1 Nouran Gohar (Egypt), No.4 Olivia Weaver (the United States) and No.7 Satomi Watanabe (Japan) in Group A. The season-ending tournament, featuring the world's top eight players, takes place from June 22-27. The top two players from each group will progress to the semi-finals. Group B consists of world champion and world No. 2 Nour El Sherbini (Egypt), No. 5 Amina Orfi (Egypt), No. 6 Tinne Gilis (Belgium), and No. 9 Amanda Sobhy (US). While Gohar has proved to be a tough nut to crack. Sivasangari has lost all four of their meetings, including in the Grasshopper Cup final in April. She has won once in seven meetings against Weaver and defeated Satomi at the recent British Open. National coach Ajaz Azmat believes the Asian champion is in the best shape mentally and physically ahead of the tournament. "She's training well, focused on quality over quantity, and looking sharp," said Ajaz. "The best-of-three format suits her, and she's confident about her chances against Satomi and Weaver." Ajaz added that her qualification marks a proud moment for Malaysian squash. "It's a huge honour for Sivasangari and for Malaysia to have a player in the PSA Finals again. The last was Datuk Nicol David, who won the title in 2011 and 2012."
