An Se-young Extends Winning Streak to 49, Closing In on 10th Title of Season

An Se-young's winning streak continued today (Oct. 24).

With a dominant victory over a Japanese player in the semifinals of the French Open, she extended her winning streak to 49 matches and is now on the verge of claiming her 10th title of the season.

Her opponent in the semifinals was Japan's 31-year-old veteran Okuhara Nozomi, ranked 9th in the world.

However, she was no match for An.

Faced with An's sharp attacks, Okuhara collapsed to the court on multiple occasions.

After easily taking the first game with exquisite cross-court attacks, An completely fooled her opponent in the second game with unexpected shots.

During the match, she asked for the slippery court to be wiped down, and unlike last week at the Denmark Open, her request was granted this time.

Securing a 2-0 victory in just 45 minutes to reach her 49th consecutive win, An will compete tomorrow for her third consecutive tournament title and her 10th championship of the season.
