jpnn.com – The reigning All England women’s singles champion, An Seyoung, stopped in the semifinals.
Competing at the Utilita Arena, Birmingham, Saturday (16/3/2024), the badminton player born on February 5 2002 surrendered to the representative of Japan, Akane Yamaguchi with a score of 10-21, 21-19, 14-21.
The player from Gwangju is actually not in the best condition after suffering an injury at the start of the year.
However, with his strong will, the 2023 BWF World Championships champion was able to make the match continue until rubber game.
In the deciding game, An seemed to have slacked off, and ultimately failed to defend his BWF Super 1000 tournament title.
“I’ve been injured since the India Open. It’s very tiring. I have a very long game, but it’s games like this that interest me the most in badminton.”
“This result is not what I expected, I prepared for this tournament for a long time. However, overall I am happy with my performance,” said the 22 year old player on the BWF website.
With this result, the 2023 Badminton Asia Championships runner up failed to continue the positive trend against Akane after previously winning in the 2024 French Open final with a score of 18-21, 21-13, 21-10.
