Carolina Marín has managed to beat the Japanese Akane Yamaguchi in the final of the All England after the second had to withdraw due to a physical problem. The Spanish won the first set 26-24, the first set of the match, which was closely contested.
However, as soon as the second set began, when they were 11-1 for the Huelva player, the Japanese was forced to retire due to a physical problem. The Olympic champion in Rio 2016 signs her second crown in the oldest and most prestigious tournament in world badminton.
The Japanese, after having played a very tight first set, began the second with many doubts, something that Marín knew how to take advantage of. When she found herself with the score at 11-1, the Japanese requested medical assistance before deciding to retire due to medical problems.
With this important title, Carolina Marín shows that she is back and wins her first title since she triumphed in July 2023 at the European Games. On the circuit, she had not been proclaimed champion since the Orleans Masters (France) in April 2023.
After a match in which the Huelva player started under great pressure from Akane Yamaguchi, Marín achieved victory. And, after two serious knee injuries, she fulfills her goal of adding points for the world ranking, in which she is currently in fifth position. All this to try to be among the top four and be seeded at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
