Squash Sensation Anahat Singh Is Seventeen, World-Class,
And Just Getting Started…

The World Junior medallist and rising star speaks candidly about nerves, Cairo, the Asian Games, and what keeps her hungry for more.

At just 17, she’s already etched her name into the history books with her most recent accomplishment being a bronze at the 2025 World Junior Squash Championships in Cairo, which is India’s first medal in women’s singles at the event in 15 years.

While most teenagers spend their evenings deciding what to stream, Anahat was busy smashing the ‘quarterfinal curse,’ defeating Egypt’s Malika Elkaraksy in straight games to reach the semifinals.

And yet, she doesn’t dwell on wins or records. “I try not to think too much about expectations, whether from others or myself. I just want to play my best, improve, and enjoy it as I go,” she says.
