But on Sunday, at the end of a fine week at the Orleans Masters Super 300, she stood at the top of the podium with a beaming smile and a long-awaited trophy. The last time she had won a Super 300 title – the fourth rung on the BWF World Tour – was in India at the backend of 2023 at Syed Modi International in Lucknow.
