Indonesia Dominates Thailand Masters 2026; Ubaidillah and Sihag Secure Historic Maidens
BANGKOK, THAILAND — The final day of the Princess Sirivannavari Thailand Masters 2026 at Nimibutr Stadium belonged to Indonesia, as the “Red and White” squad swept four of the five available titles. The afternoon was headlined by a career-defining performance from young prodigy Moh. Zaki Ubaidillah, while India’s Devika Sihag celebrated her own breakthrough on the World Tour.
Ubaidillah’s “Giant-Slaying” Masterclass
In the final match of the day, Moh. Zaki Ubaidillah captured the biggest title of his nascent career, defeating local favorite Panitchaphon Teeraratsakul in a 78-minute, three-game epic: 21-19, 20-22, 21-19.
Ubaidillah, who had never previously won a Super 300 level title or above, displayed immense mental fortitude by fighting off deficits in every single game:
- Game 1: Clawed back from a 16-19 deficit to steal the opener.
- Game 2: Erased a six-point gap before narrowly losing the deuce.
- Game 3: Overturned a four-point disadvantage midway through the decider.
A deceptive drop shot eventually handed him two match points, and the Indonesian converted on his second attempt to silence the home crowd and secure Indonesia’s fourth trophy of the tournament.
Sihag’s Fairytale Run Ends in Gold
India’s Devika Sihag (World No. 63) etched her name into the history books by claiming her first BWF World Tour title. Facing Malaysia’s Goh Jin Wei, Sihag was dominant from the start, taking the first game 21-8.
The match ended prematurely in the second game at 6-3 when Goh, struggling with a visible injury, was forced to retire. Sihag’s victory makes her only the third Indian woman to win a Super 300 title, joining legends Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu.
Tournament Highlights & Results
