Winning the French Open for 2 consecutive weeks, he won the most wins in a season in 女, tied with 11 wins in a season held by Momota Kento, and tied with winning the remaining 2 tournaments
Badminton Empress Ahn Se-young (Samsung Life Insurance) won the 9th international competition this year and achieved the most wins in a single season of the Women’s World Badminton Federation (BWF). Ahn Se-young, who boasts an unrivaled ability, will now challenge the record of the most wins (11 wins) in a single season of the men’s and women’s combined.
Ahn Se-young, the world’s No. 1 badminton women’s individual event, won the BWF World Tour Super 750 French Open final held in Seisson Sevigne, France on the night of the 26th (21-13 21-7), defeating No. 2 Wang Zhii. Ahn Se-young, who won 2-1 (23-21 18-21 21-16) after a neck-and-neck race of 1 hour and 27 minutes with “natural enemy” Chen Yu-fei (China) in the semifinals the previous day, won the final easily in 42 minutes. With this victory, Ahn Se-young achieved the feat of winning the Danish Open for two consecutive weeks.
In particular, this victory was meaningful to Ahn Se-young. This is because he matched the record for the most wins in the women’s team in a single BWF season set by himself in 2023. Ahn participated in 13 international competitions this year and won nine. Among them, he won three titles in the Super 1000 Series (Malaysia Open, Jeon Young Open, Indonesia Open), five titles in the Super 750 Series (Indian Open, Japanese Open, Chinese Open, Danish Open, French Open), and the Super 300 Tournament Orléan Masters.
Now, Ahn Se-young’s record is the most wins for men and women in a single BWF season. This record is 11 times recorded by Kento Momota (Japan) of the men’s singles in 2019. Coincidentally, Ahn Se-young has two competitions left: the Australian Open next month and the World Tour Finals in December. If she wins both competitions, Ahn will make another history in the world badminton scene.
