"Shuttlecock Empress" Ahn Se-young (24, Samsung Life Insurance) has advanced to the semifinals of the World Badminton Federation (BWF) Indian Open (Super 750). It took only 37 minutes to win the quarterfinals.

Ahn Se-young (world No. 1) defeated Indonesia's Putri Kusuma Wardani (No. 6) 2-0 (21-16, 21-8) in the quarterfinals of the women's singles at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in New Delhi, India on the 16th (Korea time).

With the victory, Ahn Se-young won 28 consecutive games since last year's Danish Open, and continued to win all eight games against Wardani in his career. The semi-final opponent is Ratchanok Intanon (8th) of Thailand. In the semifinals on the other side, Wang Zhiyi (2nd place) and Chen Yufei (4th place, China) will compete for the finals.

Ahn Se-young was shaken by giving up five points in a row at the beginning of the first game, but immediately regained her concentration and tied it 7-7. Then, at 11-11, he began to drive his opponent, winning three points down, and took one game 21-16.

Ahn Se-young, who gained momentum after grasping the opponent, completely overwhelmed the opponent in the second game. With a 5-4 lead in the beginning, he won the game by winning four consecutive points, and later added his opponent's mistakes to score as many as seven consecutive points to finish the game in 37 minutes.

Earlier, Ahn Se-young won 21-17 in one game against Nozomi Okuhara (Japan) in the last 32 and overwhelmed her opponent 21-9 in the second game. The game time was 41 minutes at the time. Taiwan's round of 16 against Hwang Yu-soon also ended in 31 minutes, winning two games 21-9 after winning 21-14 in one game.

Ahn is aiming to win two consecutive tournaments this year following the Malaysian Open, which was her first tournament this year.
