KUALA LUMPUR, May 14 (Bernama) -- National women’s squash ace S. Sivasangari lived up to expectations by cruising into the quarter-finals of the 2024-2025 World Championship in Chicago, the United States.
The seventh seed took just 34 minutes to overcome American Amanda Sobhy 3-0 (11-8, 14-12, 11-6) in their third-round clash at the University Club of Chicago early this morning.
Sivasangari is scheduled to face home favourite Olivia Weaver in the quarter-finals after the fourth seed ousted Egypt’s Salma Hany 3-1 (11-7, 9-11, 11-7, 11-4) in 47 minutes.
Currently ranked world number nine, Sivasangari remains Malaysia’s sole representative in the tournament following Ng Eain Yow’s third-round exit in the men’s competition.
Eain Yow was no match for world number one Mostafa Asal of Egypt, going down 0-3 (4-11, 6-11, 7-11) in 56 minutes.
