"World No. 1" Ahn Se-young (23, Samsung Life Insurance) beat Chen Yu-pei (China) again to confirm the strongest position.
In the women's singles final of the "2025 Badminton Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 300 Orléans Masters" held in Orléans, France on the 9th (Korea time), Ahn defeated "world No. 11" Chen Yu-fei with a game score of 2-0 (21-14 21-15) to win the trophy.
Ahn Se-young, who played in the first game with a confident expression, made Chen Wipay feel despondent with her fantastic defense that did not spare her body. After showing off her amazing hairpin skills, she showed off attack that penetrated every corner of the court and flawless smash, accumulated points, and won the game with confidence.
Following the Malaysian Open and Indian Open in January, Ahn Se-young, who embraced the championship trophy, also won all three competitions she participated in this year.
She also completely shook off her jinx about Chen Yu-fei. She is still 10-12 losses in matches against Chen, but has secured six wins from eight recent face-to-face meetings. 토토사이트
Immediately after winning the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Ahn had the most confusing period of her career due to her "decision speech." After the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism conducted an intensive investigation into the Badminton Korea Association late last year over the issue that was raised by Ahn and drew public attention, major changes occurred such as participating in international competitions as a non-national team and using free equipment at international competitions as Ahn wished.
Ahn Se-young, who relieved the burden of her mind, succeeded in a perfect rebound this season as she escaped the aftermath of her injury.
The reason why this victory is more meaningful is that it came just before the world's most prestigious Jeon Young Open.
Ahn will participate in the opening of the Badminton World Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 1000 in Birmingham, the U.K. on Sunday. She ranked No. 1 in women's singles for the first time in 27 years as a Korean player at the event two years ago. Last year, she lost to Akane Yamaguchi (Japan) in the final due to her injury.
