India’s Ashmita Chaliha produced a gritty show to secure her maiden BWF World Tour title with a fighting win over fourth seed Han Qian Xi of China in the women’s singles final of the Korea Masters Super 300 badminton tournament here on Sunday.

Chaliha, the 26-year-old from Assam, who had suffered a career-threatening knee injury two years ago in Korea, overcame a slow start and a testing decider to complete a memorable victory, recovering from the loss of the opening game to stun World No. 35 Han 14-21, 21-14, 21-14 in the summit clash that lasted 53 minutes. “I feel really great and unbelievable. But then I am trying to digest it. Now, I am hungry for more,” said Ashmita, who trains under Park Tae-Sang at the National Centre of Excellence in Guwahati.
