In the 2025 Sudirman Cup, An Seying swept her opponent in 5 consecutive games and was not satisfied: the competitive form is regrettable

Regarding her performance at the 2025 Sudirman Cup World Badminton Mixed Team Championships that ended a few days ago, world No. 1 sister An Xiying regretted that her competitive form was not perfect.

After returning to South Korea via Incheon International Airport on the 5th local time, Ahn Se-young reviewed the five women's singles matches she had played in this year's Su Cup in an interview with reporters, and said: "The competitive state does not seem to have improved a lot. There have been moments of regret. She added: "The individual event is different from the team event. This time I was nervous and there was a new pressure. But believe me, going to the competition helped me a lot. ”

From the All England Open Badminton Championships to this year's Su Cup, An Xiying has achieved the great feat of women's singles in international competitions for 4 consecutive times this season. Affected by an injury to her inner thigh muscles, An Xiying missed the previous badminton Asian Championships and concentrated on recovery, and later returned to the game through this Su Cup.

An Se-ying first missed the first round of the group stage against the Czech Republic in this year's Soviet Cup, but then made her debut against Canada, Chinese Taipei, Denmark, Indonesia, and China, and played the women's singles for South Korea in five consecutive matches, all of which won 2-0.

An Xiying's opponent in the women's singles match against the Chinese team in this year's Suzhou Cup final was her hard-fought 2-1 (13-21, 21-18, 21-18) victory over world No. 2 Wang Zhiyi in the final of the BWF World Tour Super 1000 All England Open in March this year.

After reuniting with Wang Zhiyi, An Xiying said: "The last game was very painful and there were injuries, so I played a difficult game, but this time I recovered and believed in myself with a new mentality, and the final result was very good." It helps the team and feels better. ”

Ahn Se-young said, "From the beginning of this tournament, the guidance of head coach Park Joo-bong, who commands the national team, helped to improve concentration. Reflecting on her recent training process, Ahn said, "When your stamina drops and slows down, the coach says, 'Don't make you comfortable, do it positively.'" At that time I noticed that I was slowing down and losing concentration. She continued, "I think the (former) coaches have a lot of thick and sincere emotions [in communication], and Coach Park Joo Bong also jokes funny, which makes (the players) happy." ”
