Will ‘shuttlecock genius’ Ahn Se-young (22, Samsung Life Insurance)
be able to experience the joy of winning again three months after winning the gold medal (women’s singles, women’s team event) at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games? 카지노사이트랭크
World No. 1 Sei-Young Ahn competes for her first win of the season against No. 4 Taiwan’s Tai Tzu-ying (30) in the women’s singles final on the final day of the 2024 Malaysia Open at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur on the 14th.
The Malaysia Open is the highest level tournament in the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 1000 series, and all of the world’s top ranking players participated.
The next match is scheduled to be the mixed doubles final, which will be held first at 2 PM (Korean time) on this day.
In the mixed doubles final, world No. 7 Won-ho Kim (25, Samsung Life Insurance) and Na-eun Jeong (24, Hwasun County Office) will clash with No. 2 Yuta Watanabe (30) and Arisa Higashino (28) of Japan.
In the women’s singles semifinals the previous day, Ahn Se-young defeated 17th-ranked China’s Zhang Yiman (27) 2-0 (21-17, 21-11) in 36 minutes, and Tai Ziying defeated 2nd-ranked China’s Chen Yufei (26) 2-0. They each defeated them by 1 (17-21, 21-15, 21-18).
Ahn Se-young is ahead of Tai Tzu-ying with 10 wins and 3 losses. However, just a month ago,
on December 16 last year, she suffered a bitter defeat 1-2 (21-19, 15-21, 20-22)
in the women’s singles semifinals of the 2023 BWF World Tour Finals (Season King of Kings) held in Hangzhou, China. There is a bar.
Ahn Se-young had a 19-10 lead in her final third game, and she had match point at 20-16,
but her mentality and stamina faltered and she lost 6 points. In the second season of her life, her challenge to be the king of kings was also defeated.
This was due to a lack of physical training as I was rehabilitating from a right knee injury sustained during the Hangzhou Asian Games.
Ahead of the final against Tai Tzu-ying, Korean team head coach Kim Hak-kyun said, “Ahn Se-young has not yet regained her stamina.
He did not let down his guard, saying, “This is a game where I could lose to Tai Tzu-ying.”
Still, Coach Kim said, “His strokes are being refined and he is regaining the movements he had in his prime.”
Although his physical strength had recovered to around 80%, it meant his skills were almost back to world-class levels.
Ahn Se-young came out of this tournament with thick taping around her right knee, and showed some physical difficulties in the quarterfinals.
In the semifinals, her knee and leg discomfort slowed her down a bit in the second half of her first game,
causing her to make a few stroke mistakes. However, she regained her composure afterwards and won comfortably.
Ahn Se-young is not yet in 100% normal condition. Fans are paying attention to what kind of revenge he will wage against Tai Tzu-ying,
who surpassed him in December of last year and became the king of the season.
