Twenty-six-year-old Ashmita Chaliha claimed a remarkable victory at the Korea Masters Super-300 tournament in Incheon, South Korea, on Sunday. The left-handed shuttler from Guwahati staged an impressive comeback against fourth seed Han Qian Xi of China, winning 14-21, 21-14, 21-14 in a thrilling match that lasted just 53 minutes. Chaliha's triumph marks the first time an Indian player has won this prestigious tournament. Having already announced herself as a force to be reckoned with by defeating top seed Hina Akechi in the quarterfinals, the World No. 50 now joins an elite group of Indian players who have tasted Super 300 success, including Saina Nehwal, PV Sindhu, Devika Sihag, and Tanvi Sharma. This victory is particularly significant for Chaliha, as it marks her first BWF World Tour title and comes after a long road back from injury. Adapting to the tricky court conditions, Chaliha demonstrated great tactical intelligence and resilience, turning the final on its head and securing a historic win for India.
