The Huelva volantista Carolina Marín will play the grand final of the Badminton World Cup this Sunday, after achieving a great victory this Saturday against the Japanese Yamaguchi, current number two in the world, in two sets (23-21 and 21-13).
In this way, Marín is once again ready to repeat the victories obtained in the 2014, 2015 and 2018 World Cups. This triumph in Copenhagen against the Japanese Akane Yamaguchi, number two in the world and current tournament champion, is much more than a simple victory , since the Japanese was the great favorite to revalidate the title.
The first set has been very tough and disputed, with a set ball for the Japanese and two for the Huelva player, who managed to take the cat into the water in 29 minutes in the second.
Yamaguchi was very touched after losing the first set and had no options in the second set, in which a very aggressive Carolina Marín managed to close the match on the fast track: 9-5, 12-6, 15-10, 16- 10, 17-11 and 21-13.
This great victory helps her not only to regain confidence, but also to improve her position in the ranking for the Olympic Games in Paris.
In the grand final, she will face off against the South Korean An Se-Young, who has beaten the Chinese Chen Yufei in two sets.
