India’s growing squash trajectory takes centre stage this week at the Budapest Open 2026, which kicks off in Hungary. The tournament is set to run from 24 to 28 August 2026 and serves as a crucial season opener and a vital competitive testing ground for athletes fine-tuning their games ahead of the upcoming Asian Games.
Leading the charge for the Indian contingent is Veer Chotrani, who enters the 24-player main draw as the formidable number three seed. Chotrani is projected to face either Portugal’s Rui Soares or the Czech Republic’s Marek Panacek in a highly anticipated second-round clash.
Joining him in the Indian contingent is Velavan Senthilkumar, who enters as a 9/16 seed and will face a tricky opening fixture against England’s Will Salter.
While Indian hopes remain bright, the path to the podium features an elite international field, with Malaysia’s World No. 18 Eain Yow Ng headlining the tournament as the top seed and title favourite. Spain’s number two seed Bernat Jaume is anchoring the bottom half of the draw and aiming to capture his first-ever World Events title.
With crucial world ranking points on the line, the tournament is highly anticipated and promises to be intriguing from the very first serve.
