Carolina Marín is already in the round of 16 of the All England tournament after beating the Scottish Kirsty Gilmour, 21-19 and 21-17in 42 minutes of the game.
After a very even first set that ended up being tied at 19, the Spanish champion won it with three final points. In the second set, Marín dominated a little more, although the Scottish left-hander managed to equalize at 14 and 16, at which time the world, European and Olympic champion showed off her great class to win the set and the match.
The woman from Huelva, who has already climbed to the top of the podium in this tournament in 215, arrives as number 7 in the world ranking, will face the winner of the match between the Thai Supanida Katethong and the American Beiwen Zhang.
Carolina Marín is located in the lower part of the draw and, if she makes it to the quarterfinals, she will face the winner of the duel between Malaysian Supanida Katethong and Chinese Beiwen Zhang in the round of 16. If the woman from Huelva manages to move forward, it is very likely that she will have to face the South Korean An Seyoung, second seeded in the tournament and current All England runner-up.
