World No. 1 An Seying suffered thigh pain for the first time in the final game of the women's singles semifinals against Japan's Akane Yamaguchi at the All England Open that ended on the 17th. After that, the pain continued in the final, coupled with the flu, but An Seying finally defeated world No. 2 Wang Zhiyi 2-1 to lift the championship trophy.
Including the All England Open, Ahn Se Ying has won four consecutive international championships this year, and her next goal is the Asian Championships to be held in China starting on the 8th of next month. Winning the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games and the World Championships, An Seying, who won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics last year, will achieve a "badminton grand slam" if she dominates the Asian Championships.
But due to an unexpected injury, the prospect of participating in the Asian Championship became uncertain. It is reported that An Xiying has set the Sudirman Cup of the World Mixed Team Championships to be held in China on the 27th of next month as a realistic comeback stage and has formulated a rehabilitation plan.
