“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.

Ahn will meet a female player of Singapore who ranks 22nd in the quarterfinal match. Ahn is leading 6-1 in the opponent team’s match.

Meanwhile, the “Kim Kong Duo” Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong (Jeonbuk Bank) ranked third in women’s doubles were eliminated in the round of 16. Iwana, ranked 15th, was completely defeated by Rin-Nakanishi Kie (Japan’s) 0-2 (16-21, 16-21). Previously, the team had four wins and one loss in total, but failed to display their performance properly.

Seo Seung-jae (Samsung Life), who was selected as the 2023 BWF “Men’s Player of the Year” with Chae Yoo-jung (Incheon International Airport) and Joe (ranking third), defeated Dejan Ferdinandsha-Gloria Emanuel Wiza Joe (Indonesia) 2-0 (21-12, 21-16) in the mixed doubles round of 16 and settled in the quarterfinals.
