Ahn Se -young enters the second round of Japan… 18th confrontation with Cheondi Pay
Ahn Se -young (world’s number one) and Cheonsi Pay (5th, China) will work again.
Ahn Se -young defeated Kim Ga -eun (18th) in the World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 750 Japanese Open Women’s Singles held in Tokyo, Japan on the 17th. In 41 minutes of the game, the opponent was lightly beaten 2-0 (22-20: 21-12).
Ahn Se -young, who won the Malaysia Open, India Open, Orlean Masters, Jeon Young Open, and Indonesia Open this year, went one step further for the sixth championship. Following 2023, he will also challenge the summit. Last year he was absent due to injury.
The quarterfinals are China’s Thousand Winworm. It’s a tricky player. The two players often met on the international stage, and the opponent is a little ahead of 13 wins and 11 losses. In May, Ahn Se-young lost 0-2 to Cheonsu Pay in the Singapore Open quarter-finals. Ahn Se -young continued to win four consecutive championships until the opening of the Jeonyoung, and it was braked by the Cheonsu Pay at the Singapore competition. At that time, I was frustrated by 0-2 in Cheondi Pay and tasted the first defeat of the season.
Ahn Se -young reappeared at the Indonesian Open in June and is cruising in this competition. This confrontation is worth looking forward to the high -strength training ahead of the competition. Ahn Se -young and Cheonsu Pay’s quarter -finals will take place on the 18th.
In the men’s doubles, Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho (3rd) finished the Japanese Hoki Takuro-Kobayashi Yugo pair with 2-0 (22-20: 21-17) and joined the quarter-finals. Women’s Doubles Kim Hye-jeong-Gong Hee-yong paired in Indonesia’s Fabriana de Wiwi Fujim Kuma-Amalia Kahaya Prati reversed 2-1 (20-22: 21-19: 21-11). It has advanced.
