Thai shuttlers are aiming to match their last year's record haul of three titles on the final day of the Princess Sirivannavari Thailand Masters at Indoor Stadium Hua Mark.
The Kingdom's stars are in three finals today, including the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.
Last year, Thai players won three titles -- the women's singles (Nitchaon Jindapol), women's doubles (Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai) and men's doubles (Tinn Isriyanet and Kittisak Namdash).
Busanan Ongbamrungphan is hoping to win her second title in three years after reaching the women's singles final of the BWF World Tour Super 300 event.
The eighth seed cruised past fellow Thai Pornpawee Chochuwong, last year's finalist, 21-10, 21-4 to set up a title match against Fitriani Fitriani of Indonesia.
Fitriani, who knocked out defending champion Nitchaon in the second round, rallied to defeat Deng Joy Xuan of Hong Kong 12-21, 21-19, 21-16 in the other semi-final yesterday.
Busanan, who skipped last year's event because of an ankle injury, will be keen to keep the women's singles title on home soil for the fourth straight year. Thai players have won the event in the first three editions of the tournament: Ratchanok Intanon (2016), Busanan (2017) and Nitchaon (2018).
In the mixed doubles event, second seeds Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai defeated sixth seeded compatriots Nipitphon Phuangphuapet and Savitree Amitrapai 21-18, 21-16 and will play top seeds and defending champions Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying of Malaysia in today's final.
The Malaysians, ranked sixth in the world, beat eighth seeds Tang Chun Man and Ng Tsz Yau of Hong Kong 21-16, 21-15 in yesterday's semi-final.
Sapsiree has a shot at a double after teaming up with Puttita Supajirakul to beat seventh seeds Ekaterina Bolotova and Alina Davletova of Russia 18-21, 21-12, 21-4 in the women's doubles semi-final.
Puttita and Sapsiree knocked out holders Jongkolphan and Rawinda in the quarter-finals on Friday.
They will play fifth seeds Li Wenmei and Zheng Yu in the final after the Chinese beat sixth seeds Selena Piek and Cheryl Seinen of the Netherlands 21-18, 21-16.
Chinese legend Lin Dan will vie for the men's singles crown after surviving his fourth successive three-game battle, overcoming compatriot Lu Guangzu 21-11, 6-21, 21-18 yesterday. The 35-year-old top seed will play Singapore's Kean Yew Loh, who upset seventh seed Brice Leverdez of France 14-21, 21-10, 21-14.
The men's doubles decider will be between top seeds Goh V Shem and Tan Wee Kiong of Malaysia and fifth seeds Lu Ching Yao and Yang Po Han of Taiwan.
