She won the game 3-0 ( 11-9, 11-8, 11-9) after picking all match points and serves.

Adding that, she is determined to make a mark for herself and the team GAF.

"I am really happy for winning this trophy, I want to thank my coach, my teammates and everyone who supported me from the start of the tournament.

"I am also training very hard to reach the top, I will surely make it. I just need to be focused and I will make it," she said.

She was awarded a cash prize from the organisers.
