Additional Information

General
PLAYING DOUBLES
She says she enjoys the challenge of doubles, despite playing little doubles before turning professional in 2020. Mixed doubles was added to the Asian Games squash programme for the 2022 Games in Hangzhou, People's Republic of China. "I think doubles suits me - the court is bigger and we have more space to hit the ball. With the lower tin, we can really attack a lot. Of course, covering the larger space is exhausting, but it's fun. I haven't played a lot of doubles, it was only during my gap year that I played doubles consistently. But there's more focus on doubles now, with Glasgow [the 2022 World Doubles Championships] and the new doubles event for the 2022 Asian Games." (worldsquash, 08 Mar 2022; insidethegames, 07 Apr 2021)

SPORT AND STUDY
After taking a gap year to focus on playing professionally, in 2021 she began studying at Columbia University in New York, NY, United States of America. "Balancing studies with sport is very tough. Especially after returning from a gap year where I just focused on playing, to then going back to having academics. As long as I manage the time, I can both study and play." (worldsquash, 08 Mar 2022)
