National No.3 Aira Azman will be aiming for her third national squash title, while National No.2, Sanjay Jeeva is eyeing his first, as the 40th National Squash Championship get underway today at the Nicol David International Squash Centre.

With top names S.Sivasangari, Rachel Arnold, and Ng Eain Yow absent due to overseas training for the London Classic (2nd September to 7th September), Aira and Sanjay enter the tournament as top seeds and favorites in their respective division.

This year’s championships will feature 14 players in the men’s category and 12 in the women’s draw. Sanjay, 26, who has first-round bye, is set for a potential quarter-final clash with M.Nichkileswar before a likely semi-final against Duncan Lee. If the seedings hold, he will face second seed C.Ameeshenraj in the final.

“I’m nervous but excited at the same time. It’s my second national championship, and I’m already the top seed. I feel like there are expectations to win. I’m also using this tournament as practice for my new approach in preparation for tournaments in the future.”

For Aira, 20, the path to the final could lead to a showdown with her sister, second seed Aifa Azman, in a repeat of last year’s final, where Aira emerged victorious. The world No.27, who clinched the Bermuda Open title in May, says she is feeling confident.

“Being the top seed is a nice confidence boost, and I’m just trying to stay focused and enjoy each match. It’s my third time defending the title, and there’s a bit of pressure. I’m taking it as motivation to push myself.”

The tournament promises intense competition as emerging talents and seasoned players battle for national honours in the absence of Malaysia’s biggest squash stars.
