'Shuttlecock genius' Ahn cruises to second AG title in round of 32 win
Women's singles wins 2-0 in 22 minutes in first match
World No. 2 withdrew due to injury
Among the top three, Chen Yufei met in the final.
Challenging the '29-year record' again
World No. 1 badminton player Ahn Se-young of South Korea smashes a shot during her women's singles round of 32 match at the Hangzhou Asian Games at Binjiang Gymnasium on Wednesday in Hangzhou, China. Ahn defeated Pei Zhihua (Macau) 2-0 (21-9, 21-5) to reach the round of 16.
'Shuttlecock genius' Ahn Se-young, 21, is cruising to a second Asian Games title in Hangzhou. Ahn cruised to a 2-0 (21-9, 21-5) victory over Pei Zhihua (18-MAC-344th) in 22 minutes in the women's singles round of 32 on Wednesday at the Binjiang Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China.
Ahn is now the World Badminton Federation (BWF) Women's Singles No. 1, but at her first Asian Games, in Jakarta-Palembang 2018, she was knocked out in the first round of the individual competition. The victory was enough to beat her previous best individual result at an Asian Games. At Jakarta-Palembang, it was Chen Yuefei (25-China-3rd) who gave Ahn the heartbreak of a first-round exit.
Ahn avenged her loss five years ago with a 2-0 (21-12, 21-13) victory in the first singles match of the women's team final, and South Korea eventually won the team title with a three-game sweep. 카지노사이트랭크 It had been 29 years since South Korea had won the women's badminton team gold medal at an Asian Games since 1994 in Hiroshima. In the individual competition, Ahn Se-young will try to become the first South Korean to win the women's singles title since Hiroshima champion Hwang Soo-hyun (51), the "Shuttlecock Angel".
For now, Dae Jin-woon is in good shape. Akane Yamaguchi (26, Japan-2), who was the world No. 1 before giving way to Ahn in late July, has decided not to compete in the individual event. Yamaguchi has already returned to Japan after complaining of pain in her right leg during the team event. Without Yamaguchi, the tournament's No. 2 seed, Ahn Se-young, the tournament's No. 1 seed, will not have to face Chen Yufei or Dai Tzu-ying (29-TAIWAN-4th) until the final. The most likely final opponent is, of course, Chen Yufei.
"I'm currently at 60 to 70 percent because I'm tired from the team event," said Ahn, who will face Fatimas Nabaha Abdul Razak (24-Maldives-205th) in the round of 16 on Thursday. "I think I'll be able to make it to the quarterfinals easily, but I'll have to control my condition because there will be strong opponents after that."
"In the team event, I think Chen Yufei felt a lot of pressure because it was in her own room. I was the challenger, so I was able to relax and play well," he said. "In the individual competition, Chen Yufei might be different, so I will prepare hard." Chen Yufei, whose hometown is Hangzhou, has been receiving one-sided support from fans since the team competition.
Ahn was also grateful to the athletes from other sports who congratulated her on her team win. "It was interesting to see athletes who had won medals in other sports, such as swimmer Hwang Sun-woo (20), congratulate us. They got off to a great start, and I think the badminton team was inspired by that," Ahn said. "Shin Yubin (19), a table tennis player, sent me a message on social media saying, 'You're so cool and congratulations,' and I'm sorry I haven't responded yet." 섯다
