The Indian prodigy Abhay Singh cruises into the PSA World Tour Goodfellow Classic Squash tournament, which is being held in Toronto, Canada. The top seed Abhay defeated Egyptian Abdelrahman Abdelkhalek 3-1 with 11-5, 6-11, 11-7, 11-6 in 54 minutes in the semifinal to advance to his second PSA Challenger Tour final in as many months. Last month, Abhay won the JSW Willingdon event in Mumbai. Since then he has been in terrific form.

Abhay, the world no. 66, played a crucial role in India’s team gold and mixed doubles bronze medal-winning show at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. The Indian player will face Elliott Morris Devred of Wales in the final.
