Sivasangari crashes out of PSA Tour Finals semis in Canada after second group-stage loss
KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — National squash ace S. Sivasangari's hopes of progressing to the semi-finals of the 2024/2025 PSA Squash Tour Finals were dashed after she suffered her second consecutive defeat in Group B on Tuesday. The 26-year-old went down to Egypt's Fayrouz Aboelkheir 11-10, 9-11, 7-11 in a closely fought 41-minute battle at the Revival Film Studio in Toronto. Sivasangari took the first game 11-10 but was unable to maintain her momentum, eventually falling 9-11, 7-11 in the next two games. This follows her opening-day loss to second seed Olivia Weaver of the United States, where the Kedah-born player lost in straight games, 9-11, 9-11. Weaver continued her winning form in Group B, overcoming Japan's Satomi Watanabe 3-11, 11-6, 11-6 in 31 minutes. Group B remains open for the second semi-final spot, with Watanabe and Aboelkheir each recording one win ahead of today's final group match. The PSA Tour Finals features the top eight players in the world, divided into two groups, with only the top two from each group progressing to the semi-finals. — Bernama

Sivasangari will need to win her second group stage fixture at the PSA Squash Tour Finals to keep her semi-final hopes alive in Toronto. World No. 8 Sivasangari didn't get the best start at the tournament after going down against world No. 4 Olivia Weaver in their opening Group B match as Sivasangari fell 11-9, 11-9 to the American on Monday (June 23). It was Sivasangari's seventh defeat to Weaver in their past eight meetings on Tour. Sivasangari's next match will be against world No. 14 Fayrouz Aboulkheir of Egypt, and a win will be crucial for the Malaysian to remain in contention at her debut Squash Tour Finals. The 26-year-old from Kedah has a slight advantage against Aboulkheir as she won twice last year against the Egyptian at the Singapore Open and Hong Kong Open. Aboulkheir needs a win as well after she fell to world No. 7 Satomi Watanabe of Japan, who won 11-7, 9-11, 13-11. Meanwhile in Group A, world No. 1 Nouran Gohar of Egypt defeated world No. 9 Amanda Sobhy of the Untied States 11-6, 10-11, 11-6, while world No. 10 Georgina Kennedy of England won against world No. 6 Tinne Gilis of Belgium 11-10, 6-11, 11-3.

Sivasangari bows out of World Championships after quarter-final loss to Weaver
KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 — National women's squash ace S. Sivasangari's journey at the 2024-2025 World Championships came to an end after she lost 1-3 to home favourite Olivia Weaver in the quarter-finals in Chicago, the United States. In the 41-minute encounter at the Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, fourth seed Weaver produced a polished display to overcome seventh seed Sivasangari 11-3, 8-11, 11-4, 11-5. Sivasangari, 26, showed glimpses of her best, particularly in the second game, which she drew level, but Weaver raised her intensity and control to seal the win in four. With Sivasangari's exit, Malaysia no longer has any representation in the tournament after Ng Eain Yow also fell in the men's third round on May 13. Eain Yow was no match for world number one Mostafa Asal of Egypt, going down 0-3 (4-11, 6-11, 7-11) in 56 minutes Weaver now faces a major test in the semi-finals against seven-time world champion Nour El Sherbini of Egypt. — Bernama
