Once again, there was no stopping the healthy Ahn Se-young (22-Samsung Life Insurance). She once again defeated her former nemesis, Chen Yufei (CHN), to retain her place at the top of the world rankings.

The world No. 1 badminton women’s singles player defeated Chen Yuefei 2-1 (21-19, 16-21, 21-12) in the final of the BWF World Tour Super 750 Singapore Open on Sunday in Singapore.

The defending champion defended her title from last year. Despite not being fully fit, she won her third title after winning the Malaysia Open in January and the French Open in March.

Two points shy of the world’s top ranking, Ahn reigned supreme last year as the world’s undisputed No. 1, winning 11 titles and turning the tables on her arch-enemies Chen Yufei and He Bingzhao (CHN).

Ahn, who also won gold in the team event at the Hangzhou Asian Games with a complete domination of Chen Yufei in the team event, was relentless in the singles despite being unable to jump properly due to a knee injury, and eventually immobilized Chen in the third set to claim a sensational double.

Late last year, Ahn was also named the BWF Female Player of the Year. “Until her emergence, the women’s singles was the most competitive of the five badminton disciplines,” the BWF said of Ahn’s year-long run, “and it’s rare to see a single player dominate the women’s singles in a field that includes multiple Olympic and World Championship winners.”

But the injury proved too costly. She took 40 days off to recover from the injury, and after recovering, she competed in three tournaments, but she was not the same player she was last year. She won the title in January, but then withdrew due to a thigh muscle injury, and her performance at the French Open in March was up and down depending on her physical condition, as she reached the top of the rankings, only to be knocked out in the semifinals again at the Korea Open.

On March 7, Ahn confessed on her Instagram account why. “There is still a lot of speculation about my injury, so I would like to clarify. I’m not sure if the article mentions something I didn’t say, but I’m under a lot of stress because of it,” she wrote, adding, ‘I’m sure you’re wondering why my injury hasn’t healed for so long.’

“After the Asian Games, I visited another hospital after the World Tour Finals in December (last year) because the pain was not decreasing, contrary to the diagnosis (at the checkup) that I could return to play after 2-6 weeks of rehabilitation,” he said. “They told me that my partial patellar tendon (knee) rupture would not heal in a 사설토토 short period of time, contrary to the initial diagnosis, and that I should stay on it as long as possible until the Olympics and adjust to the pain,” he explained.

“I will spend the rest of the time preparing for the Olympics so that I don’t have any regrets at the stage of the Olympics rather than the result,” he said. “I am receiving good treatment and working hard, so I hope that people will support and wait for me rather than worrying about my injury so that I can fulfill their expectations.”

That’s why it’s even more encouraging that she was able to defeat Chen Yufei with a complete performance rather than just a win.

Throughout the match, Ahn’s impeccable defense, jaw-dropping net play, and perfect diagonal attacks behind the defense were all on display.

With the score tied at 20-19, Ahn clinched the first game with a powerful smash after a net play.

After dropping game two, Ahn scored three straight points at 3-3 in game three and never trailed in the match. Her flawless defense at 19-10 was a particular highlight. Ahn fought off back-to-back attacks from Chen Yufei with her body, and after an unbelievable defense, Chen Yufei had an unguarded attacking opportunity, but was distracted by Ahn’s repeated defense and stepped out of line. Ahn pumped her fist in the air in celebration, while Chen Yufei was left devastated.

Ahn Seyoung was overcome with emotion for a moment, but then consoled Chen Yufei. Afterward, she performed her signature celebratory ceremony in front of the crowd.

“I heard a lot of stories about my injury and it was really hard for me, but I’m happy and glad that I was able to show my hard work,” Ahn said in an interview with the broadcasters.

The Lotte Giants have shown themselves to be strong at the top and weak at the bottom in the last two weeks.

The Giants won their first home game of the 2024 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League regular season 13-4 against the NC Dinos at Sajik Baseball Stadium in Busan on April 2.

On the day, Lotte’s “Glasses Ace” Park Se-woong didn’t last more than five innings. However, right-hander Choi Yi-joon came in to pitch 2 1/3 innings of one-hit ball, striking out four and walking none. Meanwhile, trailing 2-4 with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning, Lotte rallied with a seven-run big inning, highlighted by a three-run double from pinch-hitter Kim Min-seok and a two-run homer from Ko Seung-min, his first career grand slam.

LOTTE added three more runs in the seventh on a three-run homer by Son Sung-bin and an RBI single by Kim Dong-hyuk in the eighth to put the game out of reach. With third starter Choi Jun-yong shaky, veteran Kim Sang-soo pitched a clean eighth inning, including two strikeouts, to keep the junior off the board. In the ninth, closer Kim Won-joong, who hadn’t pitched all week, came in and pitched one inning of relief.

Lotte finished the three-game home series against the NC with a 2-1 win and a split. After winning the first game 13-5 behind a strong pitching performance from starter Kim Jin-wook, Lotte fell 2-4 in the eighth inning of Game 1. However, with a big win on the final day, Lotte returned to winning percentage (.407) and completed the sweep in five games.

Lotte’s behavior over the past two weeks, including this series, has been akin to a goblin team. They’ve swept the top teams with flawless performances, only to lose against teams that are actually fighting to escape the bottom of the standings.

Lotte played a three-game series at home against the first-place Kia Tigers starting on the 21st of last month. With a nine-spot gap in the standings and an ambiguous result of one win, one draw, and one loss in the previous series, there were no high expectations. However, they took the first game 6-1 with a four-run seventh inning. The next day, they won 4-2 behind Park Se-woong’s eight innings of one-run ball, and then won 10-6 on the 23rd behind a strong batting performance.

In doing so, Lotte pulled off the miracle of a last-place 카지노 team catching a first-place team. It was the first time the 10th-place team had swept the first-place team since the 10-team system was established in 2015 with the addition of KT Wiz.

The rejuvenated Lotte also completed a best-of-three series against the Samsung Lions, who were in third place as of the 24th of last month. After falling 5-11 on the first day, Lotte rallied for a 7-6 victory in the eighth inning behind home runs by Yoo Kang-nam and Park Seung-wook. On the final day, the team rallied for a 9-1 victory despite losing starter Charlie Barnes to an adductor muscle injury.

With the win, Lotte moved on to Daejeon to face the eighth-ranked Hanwha Eagles. Hanwha was in a tumultuous mood, with manager Choi Won-ho resigning just before the series. The result was an unexpected sweep for Lotte. On the 28th, starter Park Se-woong gave up eight runs in the fifth inning alone in a shocking 3-12 loss, and the team went 0-3 the next day. On the 30th, Na Gyun-an and Lee In-bok combined to give up seven runs apiece in a 0-15 loss.

Back at home, Lotte hosted fifth-ranked NC in the “Nakdong River Derby. NC was on a six-game losing streak, but Lotte was not in a good mood either. However, they scored six runs in the first inning of the 31st game to win 13-5, and after losing the first day’s game, they won the final day’s game with a big win to take the best-of-three series 2-1.
