Egyptian Kareem El Torkey: India's top woman squash player, Anahat Singh showed exactly why she is the country's best player as she quelled the challenge from Helen Tang to clinch the Indian Open title in grand style, at the Bombay Gymkhana here on Friday evening

Compatriot Abhay Singh fell short in the final and could not bag a double for the country's first copper-level PSA tournament. Supported by JSW, the 17-year-old Commonwealth Games medallist Anahat claimed her sixth title on the bounce.

In the women’s singles final, India’s teenage sensation was in fine form against Helen Tang. The India No 1 had Helen fighting hard in the other corner during the first set, but Anahat did enough to clinch a 1-0 lead. After that, the third seed Anahat began to dominate the Hong Kong international and rattled off the next couple of sets in 13 minutes.
