Devika Sihag wins maiden Super 300 title, becomes only third Indian women’s singles player to do so
Devika Sihag became only the third Indian women’s singles player to win a World Tour 300 title after triumphing at the USD 250,000 Thailand Masters in Bangkok on Sunday.
The 20-year-old unseeded Indian, who claimed her maiden BWF International Challenge title at the Malaysia International last year, was leading Goh Jin Wei 21-8, 6-3 before her opponent retired with injury in the final.
Devika joined P. V. Sindhu and Saina Nehwal as the only Indians to win a Super 300 women’s singles title.
Devika’s rise on the circuit has been steady and consistent. The youngster claimed her maiden international title at the Malaysia International in August 2025 and later contributed to India’s mixed team bronze at the 2025 World University Games.
Her upward trajectory continued last season as she finished runner-up at the Indonesia Masters Super 100 and made four title clashes in 2024, lifting trophies at the Swedish Open and Portugal International, while settling for second place at the Estonian International and Dutch International.
