Divyanshi makes history with double gold in WTT Feeder series
Divyanshi Bhowmick produced a dream performance to become the youngest Indian woman ever to win a WTT Feeder Women’s Singles title in Pristina, Kosovo.
The young Indian star, ranked World No. 211, showcased extraordinary composure and fighting spirit to defeat Chinese Taipei’s Yeh Yi-Tian, the World No. 38, in a thrilling five-game final.
After dropping the opening game, Divyanshi mounted a spirited comeback to register a memorable 3-2 (8-11, 11-8, 11-5, 7-11, 11-7) victory, announcing her arrival on the senior international stage in emphatic fashion.
At just 15 years of age, she is believed to be the second-youngest player in the world, after Japan’s prodigious Miwa Harimoto, to capture a Women’s Singles title on the WTT Feeder circuit.
Adding further sparkle to an already unforgettable campaign, Divyanshi also clinched the Women’s Doubles gold medal alongside fellow Indian teenager Syndrela Das.
The talented Indian pair defeated the Japanese combination of Sachi Aoki and Cocona Muramatsu in a pulsating final that kept spectators on the edge of their seats.
After losing the opening game, the Indians fought back brilliantly to prevail 3-2 (7-11, 14-12, 12-14, 11-8, 11-7) in a contest lasting a little over 30 minutes.
