Anahat Singh’s Remarkable Rise: 31 Titles, 87% Win Rate and a Career-High World No. 15 at Just 18

The Indian squash prodigy has established herself among the world’s leading players, with 185 career victories, a 35-match winning streak at her peak and a growing record of success across junior and senior competitions.

Indian squash continues to produce promising young talent, and Anahat Singh has emerged as one of the country's most significant prospects. At just 18, the New Delhi-born player has reached a career-high world ranking of No. 15, accumulated 31 titles and won 185 of her 213 recorded career matches, according to statistics compiled up to October 19, 2026.

The numbers underline a career that has progressed rapidly from junior success to the demands of the senior professional circuit. With an impressive winning percentage, extensive competitive experience and victories against highly ranked opponents, Anahat has built a strong foundation as Indian squash looks towards the sport's Olympic debut at Los Angeles 2028.

Anahat's career statistics reveal the consistency behind her rise. She has won 185 matches and lost 28, giving her an overall match-winning rate of approximately 87% across 213 recorded appearances.

Her record extends beyond individual victories. Anahat has won 570 games and lost 154, translating into a game-winning percentage of 79%. She has also secured 7,433 points against 4,715 conceded, winning approximately 61% of the points played. These figures suggest that her success is not limited to narrow match victories. Across her career, she has consistently won a substantial proportion of the games and points contested.

Another notable statistic is her performance in extended matches. Anahat has won 18 of her 25 recorded five-game encounters, a 72% success rate. These results indicate that she has frequently managed to find a way through matches that require sustained concentration and the ability to perform under pressure.

Her longest recorded winning streak stands at 35 matches, while her current streak at the time of the data snapshot was three victories.

From junior dominance to the world’s top 15

Anahat's rise through the world rankings has been one of the defining features of her development. Having turned professional in 2023, she has climbed to world No. 15, which is also her career-best position as of October 2026.

The ranking progression chart shows a substantial improvement since her entry into the professional circuit. Although the journey has included fluctuations, her overall trajectory has moved steadily upwards, reflecting her transition from junior competition to increasingly challenging senior tournaments.

Her latest title came at the 2026 World Junior Championships. The achievement reinforced her standing in junior squash while she continued to establish herself against senior opponents.

Anahat's 31 career titles include junior, national and professional-level tournament successes. Her best season came in 2024-25, when she recorded a 60-4 match record and won 12 titles. That campaign remains a benchmark for her consistency and ability to convert tournament participation into silverware.

Victories against established international players

Anahat's progress is also reflected in her results against highly ranked opponents. She has four victories against top-10 opponents from nine matches, giving her a 31% win rate in that category. While the sample is relatively small, it demonstrates that she has already managed to defeat some of the strongest players on the circuit.

Her best wins include a 3-0 victory over world No. 3 Nour ElSherbini at the 2026 Silicon Valley Open, a 3-2 win against world No. 6 Satomi Watanabe at the 2026 Asian Games, and a 3-0 victory over world No. 7 Tinne Gilis at the 2025 Canadian Open.

The victory over ElSherbini is particularly noteworthy because it demonstrates Anahat's ability to produce a decisive result against one of the sport's highest-ranked opponents.

However, the statistics also show that she has yet to win a match against a world No. 1-ranked opponent. Closing that gap will be an important benchmark as she seeks to progress from being a promising top-20 player to a consistent contender for major titles.

Anahat has played 213 matches across her recorded career, spending a total of 67 hours and 28 minutes on court. The workload highlights the competitive experience she has accumulated in a relatively short period.

She is right-handed, stands 165 cm tall and is coached by Gregory Gaultier, with Dunlop as her racket sponsor. Her most frequently played rivals include Akari Midorikawa, against whom she holds a 6-0 record, and Hayley Ward and Tanvi Khanna, against whom she has recorded a 5-0 record. These results illustrate her strong performances against several familiar opponents, although the broader challenge remains to reproduce that consistency across the full international field.

With 31 titles already to her name, the next stage of Anahat's career will involve translating her impressive record into deeper runs and more consistent results at the highest levels of senior competition.

Squash's inclusion at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games gives Anahat and India's emerging generation an additional long-term objective. Her career-high ranking, strong match-winning percentage and victories against elite opposition provide encouraging indicators, although Olympic selection and results will depend on future performances and the applicable qualification criteria.

At 18, Anahat has time to strengthen her physical conditioning, tactical variety and consistency against the world's leading players.

Her record already marks her out as one of India's most accomplished young squash players. The challenge now is to build on that foundation, convert promising performances into sustained senior success and continue climbing the international rankings.

With 185 career wins, 31 titles and a world ranking of No. 15, Anahat Singh has already assembled an impressive body of work. Her next milestone will be to establish herself among the players capable of challenging for the biggest honours in world squash.
