An Se-young, who conquered both the Singapore Open and the Indonesia Open with thrilling comeback victories for two consecutive weeks, has returned home.
While spectators were left exhilarated, An expressed disappointment that she was unable to take the lead from the start.
From the Singapore Open, where she staged a dramatic turnaround at the brink of defeat in the final game, to the Indonesia Open, where she overcame a 10-point deficit against her rival Chen Yufei to reach the final and secure back-to-back titles, her performances captivated the nation. However, An remained unsatisfied.
[An Se-young/National Badminton Team Player: The fact that I had to stage comeback wins means I wasn't leading the matches. There were some plays that I found disappointing.]
An, who revealed that she struggled over the past two weeks due to local conditions such as the hot and humid climate, vowed to prepare even more perfectly for the Japan Open in mid-July.
[It was quite difficult. I was worried because my condition hadn't fully recovered. I will keep looking for ways to further reduce my mistakes, and I plan to continue practicing with that focus.]
