Looks like a shrimp, but moves like a lion, says Galifi waxing eloquent on Anahat

Coach Stephane Galifi aims to get Anahat Singh into the top-40 of PSA World rankings in 6-7 months. He believes she can become World champion & reach top-10 in 2 years. He's working on her movement & forecourt game. Anahat has a quick eye & is discovering her doubles game. She recently won mixed doubles bronze at Asian Games.

Anahat Singh’s coach Stephane Galifi on Tuesday said he would “like for her to be in the top-40” in the PSA World rankings in “six to seven months.”

“Trying to get her ranking to top-40 or top-30 so that she can play big tournaments and compete with the best, that’s my goal,” he said at the 79th National squash championships here.

A former squash player himself, the Italian said “she can be the World champion,” and get into the top-10 in the World rankings in around “two years.”

“The first time I met her, I just knew. When you’ve played for as long as I have, you can see who’s gonna be good.

“The thing is that she’s 15 years old. So, she’s still limited. I would like her to be a little bit more active, take more volleys. She has to improve her fitness.”

He said he’s been working on her movement and that she’s gotten a “little faster.” He added that her forecourt game has also improved.

On her outstanding aspects, he said: “I will say she has one of the best backhands I’ve ever seen in women’s squash.
