Anahat Singh

India's 17-year-old rising star Anahat Singh stunned defending champion and second seed Tinne Gilis of Belgium to storm into the semi-finals of the Canadian Open squash tournament here.

World No. 43, Anahat, won 3-0 (12-10, 11-9, 11-9) against her World No. 7 opponent. This was her first win against a top-10 player. She will now battle World No. 10 Gina Kennedy of England for a place in the final.

"I've been really happy with the way I've been playing and my coaches said if I play the same way, I have a chance against anyone. So, I just came in with the mentality and it paid off in the end," Anahat said.
