Sivasangari Subramaniam is an up-and-coming Malaysian player, who made the move inside the top 30 in the World Rankings for the first time in the summer of 2021.

She joined the PSA Tour at the start of 2014, and went on to reach the last eight in the majority of tournaments she entered in his first two years on the tour. In the final event of the Malaysian Squash Tour in 2015, she reached the final, where Nadine Shahin got the better of her in four games.

2016 was a different story on the Malaysian Tour, as she claimed victory at the first six events. Vanessa Chu, Ho Tze-Lok, Lisa Camilleri, Rachel Arnold and Tsz-Wing Tong were all defeated in finals over that spell. Subramaniam then had another run of victories in 2017, including another tournament win on the Malaysian Tour. She also won the Beijing Squash Challenge and the Ohana Malaysian Open in that run.

She broke into the top fifty the same year, and went on to record another two appearances in finals, along with three more semi final appearances in 2018, including the Malaysian and Pakistan Opens. The Malaysian won twice on the Tour in 2019, taking the victory of the the Racquet Club Pro-Series, before following that up with a win at the Australian Open.

Subramanium made the third round of a Platinum level tournament for the first time in her career at the FS Investments U.S. Open Squash Championships in 2019, before then reaching the same stage of the Women’s World Championship a month later.

Following the Tour’s enforced six-month suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Subramaniam returned to events in Egypt, making the last 32 of the CIB PSA Black Ball Squash Open, before then reaching the third round of the El Gouna International Squash Open.

Her good form continued in 2021, as she made the quarter finals of the Manchester Open, before two more Platinum second round appearances, at the Allam British Open and the U.S. Open presented by Truist. Subramaniam finished 2021 with a last eight result at the Bronze level DAC Pro Squash Classic.

She started 2022 with a semi-final result at the Cincinnati Gaynor Cup before also reaching the last eight of the Squash on Fire Open in Washington, D.C. A runners-up finish came at the Carol Weymuller Open, before she reached her first Platinum quarter final, doing so at the El Gouna International.

Unfortunately, just a couple of weeks after her El Gouna run, Subramaniam was hurt in a car crash, and was unable to take part in any further events in 2022.

The Malaysian returned at the Squash On Fire Open, making the last 16 of the Bronze level tournament. She then made the quarter finals of the Canadian Women’s Open, also making it to the same stage of the Manchester Open. Subramaniam’s best result in the latter half of the season came at the Women’s Kinetic Orange Ball Challenger, where she reached the last four.
