Focused on attack, focused honing plan
His voice, who had been on an upward trend by winning the championship for two weeks in a row, was only bright. This is Ahn Se-young (19, Samsung Life Insurance, photo), ‘the hope of badminton in Korea’. In a phone call with Bonbo on the 29th, Ahn Se-young said, “It was a competition that felt that I had grown one step further after experiencing the championship for two weeks in a row. .
After winning the Indonesia Masters last week, she won the gold medal again in the women’s singles at the Indonesian Open, which ended in Bali, Indonesia on the 28th, a week later. Ahn Se-young, who was ranked 8th in the world, the highest among Korean players, defeated Thailand’s Ratchanok Inthanon, who is ranked 7th in the world, 2-0 (21-17, 22-20). With this win, he moved up one place in the world rankings to 7th.
Ahn Se-young took a 20-13 lead in the second set of the final, and expressed regret for allowing a 20-20 tie. It seemed that they could easily win a big lead, but they allowed a deuce, and the match almost ended with three sets. Ahn Se-young said, “If the offensive ability that directly connects from chance to goal was perfect, I wouldn’t have caught up like that. When I have time to practice during the off-season, I plan to focus on attacking and training intensively.”
Ahn Se-young plans to put aside the joy of winning for the second week in a row and focus on the 2021 World Individual Championships to be held in Spain from the 12th of next month. “Of course, I want to win, but if I am greedy, there are many times when the game doesn’t go well. So, I want to give up my greed and enjoy the game itself with the attitude of just learning ‘one game’. There is still one more tournament left in Indonesia, and I want to finish it well without getting hurt and achieve good results in the world tournament.” Reporter Jeong-Hoon Kim [email protected]
