‘I’m Hungry For More’: Ashmita Savours Maiden BWF World Tour Title After Korea Masters Triumph
Rakshita Sree Santhosh Ramraj: Ashmita Chaliha’s breakthrough moment on the BWF World Tour left her struggling to put the achievement into words as the 26-year-old Indian overcame China’s fourth-seeded Han Qian Xi 14-21, 21-14, 21-14 in 53 minutes to win the Korea Masters women’s singles title here on Sunday.
“I feel really great; it’s unbelievable. I’m still trying to digest it,” Ashmita said in a video by Olympics.com after completing a comeback victory that earned her a maiden BWF World Tour crown and moved her closer to a place among the world’s top 40.
The Indian, ranked No. 50 before the tournament, had to negotiate challenging conditions as she recovered from a slow start in the final. Ashmita initially led 9-5 but was unable to maintain her advantage and surrendered the opening game 14-21.
