Senior National Squash Championships: Anahat Singh scripted history on Thursday, becoming the youngest player to win the title in the Senior National Squash Championships in 23 years. Anahat bagged the crown after her opponent, Tanvi Khanna, retired midway through the final due to an injury.

After losing the first game 9-11 to Tanvi, the 15-year-old Anahat led the second set 6-4 before Tanvi fell down holding her right knee at the Indian Squash Academy. Tanvi received medical attention but chose to surrender the match as Anahat became the youngest title winner in 23 years.

After being defeated by Joshna Chinappa last year, Anahat became the National Squash Champion only in her second appearance.
