India’s No.1 squash player wants to level with the best now rather than win lower rung competitions

- Rutvick Mehta

For this week ahead of the Squash World Cup in Chennai, ‘Abhay Singh had a choice — play the SI5K Challenger in the same city, where he'd be the top seed and billed to go all the way, or the Platinum event in Hong Kong, where he'd run into world No.1 Mostafa Asal in Round 1. He opted for the latter.

“My $15K title chasing days are almost done,” said Abhay. “I don’t see the point anymore, especially where I am at right now.”

He's at world No.28, as the top-ranked Indian pro who started the year outside the top 50. The India No.1 tag came after he beat world No.5 Karim Gawad for a significant win that also propelled him above Ramit Tandon in the PSA charts.
