China also recognized "Badminton Empress" Ahn Se-young (24, Samsung Life Insurance).

Ahn Se-young defeated China's Wang Zhi 2-0 (21-13 21-11) in the final of the '2026 BWF World Tour India Open (Super 750)' held at Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in New Delhi, India on the 18th (Korea time).

Ahn Se-young, who achieved the most wins (11 times) in a single season last year, the highest winning rate (94.8%, 73 wins, 4 losses), and accumulated prize money of $1 million (about 1.47 billion won), continued her upward trend by reaching the top of the Malaysian Open and the Indian Open this year.

Including the last season, he has won six consecutive championships. In addition, Ahn Se-young won the Indian Open this year following last year.

Ahn Se-young made Wang Zi cry again this time. From last month's World Tour Finals, which is like the "King of Kings," to this year's Malaysian Open and Indian Open, they all won the final against Wang Zui. Ahn Se-young, who boasts an overwhelming advantage with 18 wins and 4 losses against Wang Zhi, has won 10 consecutive games in recent matches.

After the game, Chinese media praised Ahn Se-young. China's NetEase Sports said, "Ahn Se-young's accumulation of physical strength seems to have no limit. Even in the third set, where Wang Zhi had already been exhausted, she still managed a high-level defense. This sense of stability is like a precisely calculated machine," he said.

According to the article's comment, Chinese netizens said, 'We are now looking at the female version of the badminton version of Djokovic.' Can China win a gold medal before Ahn Se-young retires?' and 'Wang Zhi is not bad at it. "Ahn Se-young raised the level of women's badminton by a notch" and "It's not fun to watch Ahn Se-young's games." It's because it's too cruel for our players."
