The Spanish Carolina Marín confirmed the excellent moment she is going through and after winning the prestigious All England last week, this Friday certified her qualification for the semi-finals of the Swiss Open badminton after winning 21-19 and 21-18 over the South Korean Ga Eun Kim.
A tight score that reflected the difficulties of the Spanish, number five in the world ranking, to defeat a rival who this year already reached the semifinals of the German Open.
Ronda that Kim, number thirteen in the world, seemed willing to try to catch up again in Baselas he made clear with a brilliant staging that placed the South Korean with a four-point lead on the scoreboard (1-5).
But Carolina Marín, triple world champion, didn’t even get nervous, and with a 5-0 run she turned around (6-5) a score that the Spanish player seemed get back on track after taking a 19-14 lead.
Nothing could be further from the truth since Ga Eun Kim came to within just one point (20-19) of the Huelva player, gold at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, which finally won the first set by a tight 21-19.
A preview of what happened in the second round in which Carolina Marín had to show her best version to erase the up to three points advantage (13-16) with which the South Korean player came to be.
Quite a test for Carolina Marín who once again demonstrated her mental strength and solved the situation with a partial 5-1 that opened the doors of victory for the Andalusian who scored the second set 21-18.
The Spanish player’s rival in the semifinals will be the winner of the match she will face this Friday to the Japanese Tomoka Miyazaki and Aya Ohori.
