Young Indian badminton player Devika Sihag etched her name in history by winning the women’s singles title at the Thailand Masters Super 300 on Sunday.
The 20-year-old from Haryana became only the third Indian, after PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal, to claim a Super 300 crown. Devika was declared the winner after Malaysia’s Goh Jin Wei retired hurt in the final, with the Indian leading 21-8, 6-3. Unbeaten throughout the tournament, Devika defeated higher-ranked opponents, including top seed Supanida Katethong, showcasing composure and maturity.
The breakthrough triumph marks a major milestone in her rapidly rising career.
