Tanvi Khanna is the new India No. 1 in squash, according to the latest PSA world rankings. In the latest ranking list, the 29-year-old is World No. 69, one position ahead of Joshna Chinappa, who has been India’s numero uno for a while.
Tanvi has been doing well this season, winning a PSA title and finishing runner-up twice, all in Australia. In August, she won the Costa North Coast Open Coffs Harbour, defeating Chan Yiwen of Malaysia in the final. Then, she finished runner in the Canberra Open and Bega Open, losing to India’s Akansha Salunkhe and Malak Khafagy of Egypt in the final respectively in tough five games.
