Jin Wei deservedly became Malaysia's first women's singles shuttler to reach a World Tour Super 300 final, achieving the historic feat in Bangkok. The surgery, which removed part of her intestine, altered Jin Wei's life and career, with simply completing a full match once a major challenge. 68 dug deep, superbly surviving three-game battles in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals to reach her first Super 300 final. The Thailand Masters was Jin Wei's first tournament since the Super 300 Korea Masters in October, where she suffered a first-round exit. "I'm amazed by Jin Wei's fighting spirit," said Nova.
