In what is India's first-ever PSA Squash Copper tournament, Day 2 saw Anahat play with panache, whilst Joshna Chinappa registered a comfortable win, and the top seed in the women’s draw, Akanksha Salunkhe, walked away with a win against Tanvi Khanna. In the men’s draw, Veer Chotrani made heads turn as he defeated the fifth seed, Simon Herbert.
The 17-year-old Anahat Singh, who is supported by JSW, was up against Spain’s Cristina Gomez, and the Indian ace used power and guile to her advantage, winning in 30 minutes. The India Women’s No. 1, who was dominant from the very get-go, did not allow her opponent to settle down and won with a scoreline of 3-1 (11-5, 9-11, 11-5, 11-2).
