A story of hard work and remarkable comeback. Through all the hardships she has become India’s promising women’s singles badminton players.
Journey of Asmita Chaliha wasn’t effortless and easy going. Asmita had a serious middle-meniscus injury and a lengthy rehabilitation period before returning to international competition in 2026. She exhibited strong performances in various tournaments such as the Malaysia Masters and Macau Open against strong opponents.
Journey to the Korea Masters 2026 championship Final
Chaliha produced an impressive run to reach her first BWF World Tour final. She defeated compatriot Rakshitha Ramraj 21-13, 14-21, 21-13 in the semifinal, setting up a championship clash against China’s fourth-seeded Han Qian Xi.
The final began with Chaliha losing the opening game 14-21, but she refused to let the setback decide the match. She responded strongly, winning the next two games 21-14, 21-14 to complete a remarkable comeback and claim her maiden BWF World Tour title at Korean Open.
