Devika Sihag Secures Maiden BWF Super 300 Title in Thailand Masters Final
Indian badminton enjoyed another proud moment as rising star Devika Sihag captured her first-ever BWF Super 300 title at the Thailand Masters in Bangkok. The 20-year-old from Haryana lifted the trophy after her opponent was forced to retire midway through the women’s singles final because of injury.
Devika had taken firm control of the match, winning the opening game 21–8 and racing to a 6–3 lead in the second when Malaysia’s Goh Jin Wei pulled out with a hamstring issue. The result sealed the biggest victory of Devika’s young career and marked her breakthrough on the international circuit.
Dominant Display in the Final
From the opening rally, the Indian shuttler looked confident and aggressive, dictating play with sharp angles and relentless pace. Her quick start left her opponent struggling to settle, allowing Devika to build a commanding advantage early in the contest.
Although the match ended prematurely due to injury, the one-sided scoreline reflected Devika’s control on court and her readiness for higher-level competition.
Career-Defining Moment
The Thailand Masters crown represents a major milestone for Devika, who has steadily climbed the ranks over the past season. Triumphing at a Super 300 tournament is expected to boost her world ranking and strengthen her presence on the global badminton stage.
The victory also adds to India’s growing reputation in women’s singles, with young players continuing to make their mark at international events.
Looking Ahead
With her maiden Super 300 trophy now secured, Devika Sihag will aim to build momentum in upcoming tournaments and push deeper into elite-level competitions. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the talented youngster develops following this landmark achievement.
