「Shuttlecock Empress」An Se-young (23, Samsung Life Insurance) reported her first start of the new year as a gold medal in a row.

World No. 1 Ahn Se-young won the Women's Singles Final of the BWF World Tour Super750 Indian Open in New Delhi, India on the 19th (Korea time) by beating Thailand's Phon Pai Chowong (12th in the world) 2-0 (21-12, 21-9).

A week ago, Ahn Se-young, who won the gold medal at the Malaysia Open (Super 1000), her first international competition of the year, also showed off her world-class prowess by beating the Indian Open, which she participated in one after another. At the same time, Ahn Se-young also shed her regret that she only reached the quarterfinals due to the aftereffects of her injury, which she participated in after winning the Malaysian Open at the same time last year.




Ahn Se-young, who had an overwhelming advantage with all nine matches before the confrontation, was no match for Cho Chowong on the day. Ahn has been cooking his opponent with a level of skill and ability to manage the game from the beginning of the game.

Ahn Se-young, who succeeded in gaining the upper hand early with a series of smash and strokes in one game, kept the lead throughout and started a good start to 21-12 without allowing any chase.

The two games were more one-sided. Ahn Se-young showed no signs of exhaustion at all, while Cho Chowong's physical strength fell sharply to prevent Ahn's wave offensive. In the end, Cho Chowong slept like he was sleeping with a lot of miss shots. The score that confirmed Ahn Se-young's victory in the 20-9 situation also came as Cho Chowong's shot, which had already lost its previous intention, was line-out.




It was Ahn's flawless victory, which took only 40 minutes for Ahn to celebrate by throwing the racket.

In the women's doubles final held earlier, Kim Hye-jung (Samsung Life Insurance) and Gong Hee-yong (Jeonbuk Bank) ranked 49th in the world recorded a silver medal by losing 0-2 (15-21, 13-21) to Japan's Arisa Igarashi-Ayako Samuramoto (180th in the world).
