Spain's Carolina Marin won the Thailand Open on Sunday by defeating Tai Tzu Ying in the women's singles final. She won the summit clash in two straight games 21-19, 21-17 in an encounter that lasted for 48 minutes. In a much tighter contest, the Spaniard claimed the first game 21-19. 

Ying appeared to lose her confidence early in the second set, as a dangerous Marin asserted her dominance. Ying saved four match points but it was too late to overpower the Olympic gold medalist as she claimed her second title in a fortnight in Thailand.

In the men's singles final which was an all Denmark contest, Viktor Axelsen registered victory over his countrymate Hans-Kristian Vittinghus 21-11, 21-7 to claim his second title in Thailand. India's challenge in the tournament ended on Saturday after the mixed doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Ashwini Ponnappa lost in the semifinal.
