[Saba Sports News] At dawn on March 17, in the final of the women’s singles at the 2025 All England Open, An Se-yeong and Wang Zhiyi battled it out in three sets, with An Se-yeong ultimately reversing to take the championship. After the game, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) released an article titled “All England: Epic Finale on Super Sunday,” which mentioned that An Se-yeong won the championship despite her knee injury and flu. This implies that this may not have been her true competitive level. During the post-game interview, An Se-yeong tearfully revealed that after being infected with the flu, it greatly affected her trademark agile movement and endless energy reserves, stating that the match had deviated from the pre-set strategy. Among all these emotions during the second set, the belief of never giving up sustained her until the end. It is reported that the 2025 All England Badminton Open Championship was An Se-yeong’s 25th career Badminton World Federation Tour title, and also her third of the year, proving that she is still the absolute queen of the women’s singles court.
