China lamented the ability of "Queen" Ahn Se-young (24, Samsung Life Insurance).

World No. 1 Ahn Se-young defeated world No. 2 Wang Zhii (China) 2-0 (21-15 24-22) in the women's singles final of the "2026 BWF World Tour Super 1000 Malaysia Open" held at Asiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on the 11th (Korea time).

Ahn Se-young, who won her first competition this year, succeeded in defending the title this year following 2024 and 2025, winning three consecutive tournaments.

Last year, Ahn was unbeatable. He had the best year in a single season with the most wins (11 wins), the highest winning percentage (94.8%, 73 wins, 4 losses), and more than $1 million ($1,317) in cumulative prize money.

Ahn finished the match in just 56 minutes. Ahn Se-young, who won one game, fell sharply to 9-17 in the middle of the second game, but the attack revived and narrowed the score to tie the score 19-19. After that, he won after three close deuce matches. On the other hand, Wang Zhi, who failed to keep the eight-point lead, bowed his head with a despondent look.

As a result, Ahn Se-young continued his overwhelming advantage against Wang Zhi with 17 wins and 4 losses. Bada won all eight matches last year.

Badminton Planet, a global badminton media outlet, said, "While Ahn Se-young expanded his dominance, Wang Zi suffered a 'mental collapse' in the final."

In fact, the second set was a nightmare for Wang Zhi. He led by a large margin until the middle of the set, but he shook sharply as Ahn Se-young's offensive strengthened. The media said, "Wang Zui collapsed under pressure despite taking a huge lead in the second set."

Chinese fans also expressed disappointment. According to Weibo, China's largest social media (SNS), Ungguk's Internet users said, "Wang Zui has a glass heart." "Why on earth can't you finish the game against a Korean star?" he said.
