Neslihan Arin closed 2025 with a career-best result, becoming the first Turkish player to reach an HSBC BWF World Tour final. The 31-year-old impressed throughout the Super 300 Syed Modi India International 2025, defeating top seed Unnati Hooda in straight games to secure her place in the final.
Arin described the week as “truly unforgettable” after earning her first World Tour medal. Although she finished as runner-up to Japan’s Hina Akechi, the result marks a historic moment for Turkish badminton and a strong finish to Arin’s season.
