Nazneen Rahman clinched the 40+ Women's Singles title at the Assam State Selection Trials, defeating Babita Langthasa 11-3 in the final. Rahman controlled
proceedings from the beginning and left little room for her opponent to stage a comeback. Unlike closely contested finals that go down to the wire, this encounter saw Rahman establish her authority early. She displayed composure and precision throughout the match, combining effective shot placement with consistent execution to keep Langthasa on the back foot. The 11-point format meant that there was little time for either player to recover from an early deficit. Rahman made the most of that challenge, maintaining her intensity and ensuring that she stayed ahead on the scoreboard. Her ability to dictate the exchanges proved decisive as the match progressed.
