Indian squash players Anahat Singh and Abhay Singh reach the Asian Games 2026 singles finals after winning their respective semifinals. Anahat defeats fellow Indian Tanvi Khanna in straight games, progressing to the women’s singles last four and moving into the semifinal/medal stage described by outlets. Abhay advances in the men’s singles after beating Pakistan’s Muhammad Irfan in straight games, 3-0, to enter the gold-medal match.
In the women’s draw, Anahat also makes a separate notable comeback run reported by multiple sources, overturning a 0-2 deficit against Japan’s world No. 6 Satomi Watanabe to reach the women’s final. Times of India and Free Press Journal describe Anahat’s opponent in the final as Japan’s Satomi Watanabe in one instance and list another opponent later, reflecting match-order or subsequent updates. For the men’s final, Free Press Journal states Abhay will play either Noor Zaman or Eain Yow Ng, depending on the other semifinal result.
Across reports, the common context is that a gold medal in the singles events provides a direct qualification route to the LA 2028 Olympics, adding high stakes to the finals.
