Indian badminton player Tanya Hemant won the 31st Iran Fajr International Challenge tournament in Tehran, the capital of Iran. She defeated top seed and compatriot Tasnim Mir in straight games in the women’s singles final. Tasneem could not hold on against Tanya in the shortest match of the day.

It was also Tanya’s first win over Tasnim in a BWF tournament. Tasneem had defeated Tanya in her last two matches. After winning the match, a strange incident happened during the medal program with Tanya. She was asked to wear hijab. This rule was also applicable when Tasneem won the title last time.
