Sivasangari lost the game in World Squash Championships in Giza, Egypt after a quarter final game with world No.1 Hania El Hammamy. Even with strong determination till the end of the match, Sivasangari lost in 5 games. The scores were 9-11,12-10, 10-12, 11-5, 11-8, in 93 minutes.
The game started with stress and worry as Sivasangari twisted her left ankle during the opening game. Sivasangari suffered with the painful injury and took a three minute medical time before coming back to the court. Although her movement was affected, she fought with all the energy she could, and managed to win the first game.
Her fighting spirit was very competitive, especially in the second and third game, where both players were immense and points were close.
However, the injury somehow still held her, and El Hammamy gained control in the final two games that got her to the semi-finals. National coach Ajaz Azmat, Sivasangari coach, praised her performance, and described it as one of her best matches.
The defeat ended her hopes for reaching her first World Championship, but her game is another highlight of her growth as one of the world’s top squash players.
