Sanjay aims to break into world top 50


KUALA LUMPUR: After a season of up and down, squash player Sanjay Jeeva aims to break into the world’s top 50.

The national No. 2 achieved his highest world ranking, 58th, in March before dropping to 68th last month.

Sanjay, 26, lost most of his matches either in the first or second rounds in PSA tournaments. In February, he did well to reach the semi-finals of the Goodfellow Classic in Canada.

“I think the past season was mixed. I had a really good first half, beating some top players but I struggled to keep that momentum in the second half of the season.

“In the new season (August, 2025 to June, 2026), I hope to be more consistent and break into the world top 50.”

His next tournament will be the National Championships in Penang from Aug 13-17.

Sanjay will be looking to win the national title in the absence of world No. 12 and national No. 1 Ng Eain Yow, who is based in the United States.
