Ahn Se-young (23, Samsung Life Insurance), who withdrew from the semifinals of the Chinese Open due to an injury, seems to have avoided a major injury.

The Badminton Korea Association announced on the night of the 26th that Ahn had been informed by the local Chinese team about his withdrawal and decided to withdraw from the tournament in preparation for the next World Championship due to his accumulated fatigue and concern about his bigger injury due to his poor knee condition" he said.

World No. 1 Ahn Se-young withdrew from the semifinals of the 2025 Chinese Open Badminton Championship (Super 1000) Women's Singles Semifinals held at the Olympic Sports Center in Changzhou, China, during the two games.




Ahn Se-young, who showed discomfort in her knee in the process of giving up one game 19-21, withdrew after losing five consecutive runs in two games 6-6.

As a result, the challenge of 'Super 1000 Grand Slam' to win all four 'Super 1000' held this year was also eliminated.

Ahn won six international competitions this year, including the Malaysian Open (Super 1000), the Indian Open (Super 750), the Orléan Masters (Super 300), the Jeon Young Open (Super 1000), the Indonesian Open (Super 1000), and the Japanese Open (Super 750).
