The Vietnamese struggled to read the Indian&#8217;s deception and found it difficult to judge the drift, going wide twice as Tanvi mixed steep cross-court smashes with her trademark touch to surge to a 10-2 advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian, however, suddenly slipped into a string of errors, struggling to keep the shuttle inside the lines. She eventually produced a timely smash to carry a three-point lead into the mid-game interval, with coach Park Tae-sang urging her to relax.<\/p>\n<p>Tanvi found her rhythm after the break, producing powerful smashes from both flanks to move 15-9 ahead. Though she gifted away a few points with errors at the net and from the back court, she regained control, earning five game points before sealing the opening game with a cross-court smash.<\/p>\n<h2>Second Game Strategy And Victory<\/h2>\n<p>After the change of ends, Nguyen opened a 3-0 lead by making Tanvi cover the court with sharp angles. But the Indian slowly began dictating the rallies, drawing level at 3-3 with a fine net shot before once again pushing her opponent deep and catching her at the net with deft touches.<\/p>\n<p>Nguyen&#8217;s inconsistency also helped Tanvi build an 8-4 lead before another patch of errors allowed the Vietnamese to close the gap to 7-8, prompting Park to tap his head in frustration. Two exquisite deceptive winners helped Tanvi take an 11-8 lead at the interval.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian gradually stretched the advantage to 15-10 and then 18-12, her deception once again fetching crucial points. At 19-12, Tanvi unsuccessfully challenged a line call after being ruled late, but soon earned seven match points with a smash. A nervous finish saw her squander three of them before she finally converted to seal her maiden BWF title.<\/p>\n<h2>A Historic Win And Future Potential<\/h2>\n<p>In a heartwarming moment, Tanvi took off her gold medal and placed it around coach Park Tae-sang&#8217;s neck before the two posed together for photographs.<\/p>\n<p>At 17 years and 222 days, Tanvi is the youngest finalist in the tournament&#8217;s history, surpassing Korean doubles great Lee Yong Dae, who was 17 years and 287 days old when he reached the men&#8217;s doubles final in 2006.<\/p>\n<h2>Tanvi Sharma&#8217;s Rising Career<\/h2>\n<p>Tanvi had become the first Indian to win two medals at a single edition of the World Junior Championships, securing silver in girls&#8217; singles and bronze in the mixed team event. She was also a member of the Indian team that won the country&#8217;s maiden gold medal at the Asian Team Championships.<\/p>\n<p>A former world junior No. 1, Tanvi reached her maiden Super 300 final at the 2025 US Open at the age of 16. She also finished runner-up at the Odisha Masters Super 100 and Guwahati Masters Super 100.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/m.rediff.com\/sports\/report\/tanvi-sharma-wins-maiden-bwf-super-300-taipei-open-title\/20260802.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian badminton prodigy Tanvi Sharma, coached by Park Tae-sang, has clinched her first BWF World Tour title at the Taipei Open Super 300, marking a significant milestone in her burgeoning career and becoming the first Indian woman to win the singles title there since Saina Nehwal.
