Staying focused and strong do the trick for Anahat
On Saturday, in her final year as a junior, she buried it. Anahat won in straight games in the final against Ruqayya Salem, ended Egypt’s run of 13 straight titles, and secured a first for Indian squash.“The score says 3-0, but it was definitely not comfortable.
On Saturday, in her final year as a junior, she buried it. Anahat won in straight games in the final against Ruqayya Salem, ended Egypt’s run of 13 straight titles, and secured a first for Indian squash.“The score says 3-0, but it was definitely not comfortable.
In a final, every single point feels like it’s the last,” she told The Hindu, in a virtual interaction facilitated by JSW Sports, on Monday.Anahat felt she had a real shot at the title after the first two games — until things got tight in the third game.She caught herself just in time, before the ghosts stirred again.
In the end, she lost just two games in the entire tournament and showed why she was the top seed and India’s No. 1 ranked player.“The mental strength was always there, but I’ve not used it well.
So I told myself to focus, get it done and then enjoy it all. Following a set routine really helped, and I think I have to follow it going forward.”That said, her nerves actually eased as the competition wore on.
“I was more stressed out in my first few rounds because you really need to get the momentum right. I knew I was playing well and I was quite confident [going into the final]. I just wanted to get it over with because it was too stressful in the build-up to the tournament.”
Yet even history has its blind spots. The 18-year-old’s one regret? The winning moment itself.
“My celebration was really bad! Winning the title felt unreal, and so I couldn’t think of anything in the moment,” she added with a laugh.
