[스포츠서울 | 광주=김경무전문기자] Hundreds of fans shouted “Seyoung Ahn, Seyoung Ahn fighting”. However, Ahn Se-young was defeated by China’s second-in-command He Bingjiao.
Ahn Se-young (20, Samsung Life Insurance), the number one Korean shuttlecock women’s singles singles player, unfortunately failed to advance to the final. On the afternoon of the 16th, the 2022 Gwangju Yonex Korea Masters Badminton Women’s Singles Semifinals continued at the Gwangju Women’s University Universiade Gym in Gwangju Metropolitan City. Ahn Se-young, who is ranked 4th in the world, was defeated 0-2 (11-21, 13-21) by left-handed He Bingjiao, a difficult opponent in 9th place.
With this, Ahn Se-young’s dream of winning the 2022 Korea Open (BWF Super 500 Series) held in Suncheon last week for the second week in a row was put to nothing. The Korea Masters is the BWF Super 300 series, with a total prize money of 180,000 at stake. Ahn Se-young lost three matches against Heo Bing-Zhao.
In the previous women’s singles semifinal, Ahn Se-young’s ‘natural enemy’, world ranking third-ranked Chen Yu-fei (24, China), also defeated 17-ranked Wang Ji-i in the same country by 2-1 (21-7, 19-21, 21-17). reached the finals. As Ahn Se-young failed to reach the final, the fight against Chen Yu-fei was also canceled. Ahn Se-young had met Chen Yu-fei and lost all six matches.
At the Korea Open last week, Cheon Yupei suffered a shock loss from Korea’s second-placed Kim Ga-eun (Samsung Life Insurance) and was eliminated early, but this time, she is showing strength. Chen Yupei defeated Ahn Se-young in the quarterfinals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in August of last year and is the strongest in the world, even winning a gold medal. [email protected]
