New Delhi: Young Indian shuttler Devika Sihag secured her first BWF Super 300 title after winning the women’s singles crown at the Thailand Masters on Sunday.

The 20-year-old from Haryana led Malaysia’s Goh Jin Wei 21-8, 6-3 in the final before the match ended. Goh retired due to a hamstring injury, conceding the contest midway.

The Thailand Masters carries a total prize purse of USD250,000. The victory marks the biggest title of Devika’s professional career so far, according to reports.

Devika currently holds a world ranking of 63. She trains under Coach Umendra Rana at the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence in Bengaluru.

She also trains alongside two-time Olympic medallist P. V. Sindhu. Indonesian Coach Irwansyah Adi Pratama guides both players.

Devika has shown steady improvement on the international circuit. She opened her international title account at the Malaysia International tournament in August 2025.

Later that year, she played a key role in India’s bronze medal finish at the World University Games mixed team event.

Her consistency stood out during the previous season. She finished runner-up at the Indonesia Masters Super 100.

Devika also reached four finals in 2024. She won titles at the Swedish Open and Portugal International.

She finished second at the Estonian International and Dutch International during the same season.
