Anahat Singh Scripts History, Becomes First Indian To Win World Junior Squash Championship
India's Anahat Singh scripted history by becoming the country's first squash player to win the junior world title after defeating Egypt's Ruqayya Salem 3-0 in the girls' singles final of the World Squash Junior Championships 2026 on Saturday. The top-seeded Anahat, India's No. 1 player, overcame second seed Salem 11-3, 11-7, 11-9 to claim the historic title and surpass Joshna Chinappa's runner-up finish in 2005, which had remained India's best performance at the Junior World Championships for more than two decades. The 18-year-old was in complete control throughout the final and capped a dominant campaign in which she dropped just two games across six matches.
