In the first half of this year, he won 32 wins and 1 loss, An Xiying said bluntly, "Many players are studying me"

After South Korea's world's No. 1 goal, Ahn Se-young made a bold statement: "I want to be a player who will not lose a match. Paris 2024 gold medallist An Se Ying won 32-1 in the first half of the year, with her only defeat coming at the end of China's Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Yufei's 27-game winning streak in the women's singles quarterfinals of the Singapore Badminton Super 750 tournament.

South Korea's world's No. 1 goal after Ahn Se Ying

However, world champion An Se Ying quickly regained her momentum and won the next 2025 Indonesia Badminton Super 1000 tournament for the second time. Among them, An Xiying reversed China's world No. 2 Wang Zhiyi in the women's singles final 13-21, 21-19, 21-15, and once fell behind 9-17 in the second game, but she then successfully played a wave of 9-1 and completed a strong reversal after chasing 18 draws.

The goal has always been to be on top of the world. Ahn Se-young, who has returned to South Korea a few days ago, said in an interview at Incheon International Airport, "My goal has always been to be at the top. I want to be a player who doesn't lose a fight. As for how to complete the comeback in the final of the Indonesia Open, An Xiying recalled: "At the beginning of the match with Wang Zhiyi, it was not going well, and the coach told me to believe in myself and not give up easily, which made me more confident in myself. ”

"So I started thinking about what I could do and starting little by little with what I was good at." She added: "As I continued like this, I noticed that my opponent started to make mistakes and his stamina decreased. "I didn't panic, I played at my own pace and ended up winning the fight." "When it was 12-17, I could feel my opponent panicking, and I was trying to attack, and I was getting a little excited," she laughed and said. ”

Referring to the defeat to Chen Yufei in the quarterfinals of the Singapore Open, An Seying also said: "I feel like I lost without doing anything, so it's a pity. "In this competition, my mentality is that even if you lose, you have to play everything you want to do, and at least win one game."

After losing to Chen Yufei, he was very depressed. An Xiying also pointed out: "After that loss, I was very depressed and tormented. I didn't know what to do at the time, but I asked a lot of people for their opinions and got a lot of positive advice, so I am very grateful to them. An Xiying finally said frankly: "Now I feel that many players have conducted in-depth research and analysis on me. "Although there are many opponents, I only have one body and one mind, and I have limitations in dealing with them." "But now I know more about what kind of games I should play and how I'm going to train next."

Stick to learning English every morning. On the other hand, the 23-year-old is still learning English outside the ring: "Players from other countries often speak to me in English. I didn't have enough English, so I was a little flustered. I think I should keep learning English as much as I do sports. I'm studying every morning now.
