The 2023 Asian Badminton Championships, which determines the best Asian badminton player, will be held at Sheikh Rashid Bin Hamdan Indoor Gymnasium in Dubai, UAE for six days from April 25 to 30.
In this competition, which is only held as an individual event, five events, including men’s and women’s singles, men’s and women’s doubles, and mixed doubles, will be held. The great Japanese star, Akane Yamaguchi, will also participate, and a feast of stars will be held.
The 2023 Asian Badminton Championships is a World Tour Super 1000-rated competition and is the highest-rated competition in terms of prize money and points.
Below, check the full match schedule with the Korean national badminton players participating in the Asian Championships.
South Korea squad
28 players, including 19 players and 9 coaching staff, will participate in the tournament.
Ahn Se-young, Kim Ga-eun, Shim Yu-jin, and Jeon Hyuk-jin, all of whom are in singles, will all go straight to the finals without going through the group round.
‘Shuttlecock Genius’ Ahn Se-young will face Malaysia’s Jinwei Koh in the first round, and will not meet Akane Yamaguchi, who received the number 1 seed, before the bracket finals. Ahn Se-young showed the dignity of bringing her women’s singles champion to Korea after her 27-year hiatus with her win at the 2023 Jeon Young Open held in England last month. Thanks to this momentum and atmosphere, it will be interesting to see if she can win her gold medal at the Asian Championships as well.
Ahn Se-young, who competed in singles, was not the only one who performed well at the 2023 Jeonyeong Open. In the women’s doubles, Kim So-young and Gong Hee-yong won the championship, and Baek Hana-Lee So-hee lost to the ‘King Kong’ duo in the finals and achieved runner-up. In addition, Seo Seung-jae and Chae Yoo-jung, who competed in mixed doubles, also finished runner-up, and the Korean national team finished the tournament with excellent results. These doubles groups are preparing to compete at the Asian Championships and rise to the podium once again.
