Malaysia's top women’s singles shuttler, Goh Jin Wei, was forced to retire due to injury during the final of the BWF Thailand Masters 2026 in Bangkok this morning. She was facing India's young talent Devika Sihag when the incident occurred in the second set.

After a competitive first set, Jin Wei appeared to be struggling with a recurring physical ailment, leading to an emotional withdrawal from the match. This handed Devika Sihag her maiden BWF Super 300 title, while Jin Wei’s fans are left concerned about her recovery timeline for the upcoming Asian championships.

The Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) is expected to provide a medical update later today. This injury comes at a crucial time as Jin Wei was finally regaining the form that had previously seen her break into the world’s top 20.
