Korean badminton star Ahn Se-young (world No. 1) beat "natural enemy" Chen Yu-pei (China, world No. 11) to win the Orléan Masters.

Ahn Se-young won the women's singles final in Orléans, France, on the 9th (Korea Standard Time), defeating Chen Yu-fei 2-0 (21-14 21-15).

"A natural enemy" seems to be an old saying. Ahn won 2-0 in just 45 minutes against Chen Yufei. He met Chen for the first time in nine months since the Indonesian Open final in June last year. The Korean team is lagging behind Chen by 10 wins and 12 losses, but it is dominant with seven wins and three losses in the recent 10 games.
Chen Yufei, in particular, recently fell to 11th place in the world due to injuries and other reasons. Ahn Se-young has solidified her world No. 1 ranking by winning international competitions including the gold medal at the Paris Olympics.

Ahn Se-young defeated Chen Yu-fei 21-14 in the first game and won 21-15 without giving up the lead throughout the game, with the second game also running 8-2 from the start.

As a result, Ahn Se-young showed off her world's strongest skills by winning three consecutive international competitions this year, following the Malaysian Open and Indian Open.

In particular, the Orléan Masters has a low level of competition, but major players from around the world participated to boost their condition ahead of the major tournament's all-English Open, which opens on the 11th. Ahn Se-young, who won the Malaysian Open and Indian Open in January without losing a single set, also won all sets from the round of 32 to the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, he lost the first set to Gaofangze (China), breaking the record of "no set," but he won the come-from-behind victory and over Chen Yufei, who he met in the final, with one-up skills.

Ahn will participate in the Jeon Young Open, which starts from Friday, and will seek to win four consecutive championships. Two years ago, Ahn ranked No. 1 in women's singles for the first time in 27 years as a Korean player at the top of the Jeon Young Open, and has grown into a world-class player. She was unfortunately eliminated in the semifinals last year due to unfavorable injury conditions. She will meet Kaofangze starting from the round of 32 at this year's Jeon Young Open. As she is highly likely to face off against Chen Yu-fei in the quarterfinals and Akane Yamaguchi (Japan), who lost in the semifinals last year, in the semifinals, Ahn is expected to meet difficult opponents. 먹튀검증

Meanwhile, the pair Kim Hye-jeong and Gong Hee-yong defeated the pair Lee So-hee and Baek Ha-na 2-0 to win the women's doubles final. Men's doubles stars Kang Min-hyuk and Kim Dong-ju also topped the list.
