Abhay and Anahat Singh Win Squash Silvers at Asian Games

India’s Abhay Singh and Anahat Singh both won silver in the Asian Games squash singles finals on Sunday, September 27, 2026, after losing in straight games to Malaysian defending champions Eain Yow Ng and Sivasangari Subramaniam. The results gave India its first women’s singles squash silver at the Games and its second men’s singles silver, while the gold medals and reported Los Angeles 2028 Olympic qualification places went to the Malaysian winners. Ng defeated Abhay in the men’s final, with reports agreeing on a 3-0 result but differing on the exact score of the second game. The accounts consistently reported the first and third games as 11-9 and 11-5. Abhay, ranked 26th in the world in some reports, had reached the final without dropping a game, then struggled to maintain his early momentum against Ng, the defending champion. The Indian briefly led 4-2 in the third game, but Ng rallied to move ahead and close out the match. Abhay’s silver was India’s second in men’s singles squash at the Asian Games, following Saurav Ghosal’s silver at the 2022 Hangzhou Games, held in 2023. Abhay had also won gold in the men’s team event during the 2026 Games, according to one account.
