Anahath Singh’s Impressive Run Ends Against Tinne Gyllens

The Qatar Classic in Doha turned into a showcase of talent when 17‑year‑old Anahath Singh faced Belgium’s world No. 9, Tinne Gyllens, in the women’s second round. The match stretched to four games; Singh opened with a 4‑11 loss, then rallied to capture the next two games, 11‑8 and 11‑9, putting the Belgian under pressure. Gyllens, a former career‑high No. 5 player, steadied her play, winning the fourth game 11‑4 and wrapping up the encounter with an 11‑3 victory in the decider.

Singh’s earlier triumph over world No. 16 Farida Mohamed and her role in India’s four‑member squad highlight her growing stature on the PSA tour. With the Asian Games on the horizon, Singh, alongside teammates Abhay Singh, Veer Chotrani and Tanvi Khanna, will seek to translate this experience into medals for India.
