The China Masters 2025 show Korean dominance as An Se Young and the men’s doubles duo Kim Won Ho-Seo Seung Jae each clinched their seventh title of the season, cementing their global supremacy.
An Se Young, the reigning Olympic champion, delivered a commanding 21-11, 21-3 victory over China’s Han Yue in the women’s singles final. The match held personal significance after her previous clash with Han ended in injury. “I told myself to try harder, move faster, and not miss an opportunity,” An said, reflecting on her transformation inspired by men’s singles strategies.
“I was unsure I could win,” she admitted. “Han was outstanding at the start but I told myself to try harder, move faster and not miss an opportunity. That made all the difference.”
Now unbeaten in all finals this season, An sets her sights on breaking her personal best of 10 titles in 2023.
“My confidence is definitely increasing and I’m gradually improving,” said the Olympic gold medallist. “It would be great if I can achieve better results and set a new record. For now, I just want to play my style of badminton and make every necessary change. This is my priority.”
