“Shuttlecock Empress” Ahn Se-young (21, Samsung Life Insurance) reached the quarterfinals in the first competition in 2024.
In the round of 16 women’s singles at the Malaysian Open held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Monday (Korea time), Ahn Se-young, ranking No. 1, crushed Germany’s Yvonne Lee, ranking 27th, with a game score of 2-0 (21.13, 21-8). The total duration of the match was 35 minutes.
Ahn Se-young struggled in the first game of the round of 32 against Line Caresfeld (Denmark, ranked 20th) on the 9th, scoring four consecutive runs twice. He won with his strength, but the aftermath of his right knee injury at the Hangzhou Asian Games (AG) in October last year seemed to remain.
In the round of 16, he displayed an overwhelming gap in skills. He gained the upper hand by scoring five consecutive points in one game, and secured victory by scoring six consecutive points at 9-5. The two games also steadily widened the gap, and secured a place in the round of 16 by scoring six consecutive points at 15-8.
