[미디어펜=석명 기자] ‘Badminton Emperor’ Ahn Se -young (Samsung Life) won the 2025 World Badminton Federation (BWF) World Tour Super 750 China Masters’ semi -finals and continued to cruise for the second consecutive victory. Kim Ga -eun also succeeded in advance to the semi -finals, causing the blue to defeat China’s Wang.
Ahn Se-young, the world’s No. 1 ranking, defeated India’s Fusala Shindo (14th in the rankings) at 2-0 (21-14 21-13) in the women’s singles quarter-finals held in Shenzhen’s Shenzhen Arena on the 19th. It was only 38 minutes for Ahn Se -young to get to the semifinals.

Ahn Se -young, who was driven from the beginning, scored gradually and won the first set without any crisis.
In the second game, the battle continued up to 7-7, but Ahn Se-young won seven points and won the victory. Shinto was pressed by Ahn Se -young’s momentum and failed to counterattack properly.
Ahn Se -young will be in the finals in the semifinals held on the 20th in the finals of the Japanese leader Yamaguchi Akane (fourth place). Last year, Ahn Se -young, the winner of the tournament, is now only two wins until the title defense.
Ahn Se -young won the Malaysia Open, as well as three Super 1000 competitions, including Jeon Young Open and Indonesia Open. He also won the Super 750 Indian Open, Japan Open and Super 300 Competition Orlen Masters.
At the 2025 World Badminton Championships held in Paris, France last month, he lost two consecutive games in the semi -finals, defeated by China’s ‘Temple’ Cheon Wi -Pay (5th place).
In this tournament, the possibility of winning the championship was higher when Ahn Se -young was eliminated in the quarter -finals and lost to the same China (third place).
Meanwhile, Kim Ga-eun (Samsung Life), the world’s 32nd place, made a reversal of 2-1 (13-21 21-17 21-11) against Wangzui (China), the second-largest ranking in the quarter-finals. Kim Ga -eun, who exchanged 1 and 2 games with each other, won the lead from the beginning in the third game and won the victory without allowing Wang to pursue.
Kim Ga -eun, the main character of the blue, challenges the finals in the semi -finals. If Ahn Se -young and Kim Ga -eun win both in the quarter -finals, Korean players will be fighting in China.
