Following an international medical reclassification, Nurjahan moved up from Class 6, where she was ranked World No. 12, to compete in Class 7. The shift reset her global ranking to World No. 28 and placed her in a stronger competitive field. She progressed confidently through the knockout stages, defeating Dhwani Shah 3-1 in the final.
