In the women’s singles finals event of the Guwahati Masters 2025, India’s Tanvi Sharma missed out on her chances for the title after finishing as runner-up. She lost two games by a close call against Chinese Taipei’s Tung Ciou-Tong. The Junior World Championships silver medalist lost her finals game by sets of 21-18, 21-18 in a 47-minute game.
This was Tanvi’s third finals appearance on the tour this season. With that, she also ended up making her third runner-up finish in 2025, including the US Open Super 300 and the World Junior Championships in October. She also finished as runner-up in the 2024 Odisha Masters Super100.

In the opening match, Tanvi started strong with a 3-0 lead and ended with a score of 12-8 after an 8-8 deadlock. She further continued her run and maintained the lead at 16-14 over Ciou-Tong, but the Chinese Taipei player took over the lead by scoring five straight points.
