'World's Strongest' An Se-young Secures Dominant Victory in 36 Minutes... Extends Winning Streak to 48 Matches

Despite an ankle injury and a grueling schedule, An Se-young's winning streak continues.

She secured a dominant victory in just 36 minutes at the French Open quarterfinals, extending her winning streak to 48 matches.

An Se-young had protective tape wrapped thickly around her right knee, but it posed no problem at all as she subdued China's Han Yue, ranked 10th in the world, who herself had her ankle heavily taped due to discomfort.

She targeted every corner of the court with her trademark half-smashes. When Han showed signs of exhaustion by leaning on her racquet against the floor, An focused her attacks in front of the net with hairpin shots to easily take the first game.

The second game was a tight contest until the middle, but taking advantage of unforced errors from the fatigued Han, An rattled off 5 consecutive points to secure the win.

Achieving a 2-0 dominant victory in 36 minutes to reach her 48th consecutive win, An Se-young will face Japan's Nozomi Okuhara tomorrow (the 24th) for a spot in the finals.
