World badminton powerhouse An Se-young has advanced to the quarterfinals of the Korea Open.
She is cruising smoothly toward her 11th title of the season, which would tie her personal record for the most wins in a single season.
Amid enthusiastic cheers from home fans, An completely overwhelmed Malaysia's Letshanaa.
She seized the momentum early with five consecutive points, effortlessly returning her opponent's attacks as if she had anticipated the shuttlecock's trajectory, and left her opponent helpless with smashes targeting the corners of the court.
Having claimed the first game in just 16 minutes, An secured victory in the second game in 20 minutes driven by her seasoned net play, advancing to the quarterfinals.
Extending her winning streak to 52 matches, An will face Japan's Riko Gunji for a spot in the semifinals.
If she reaches the top in this tournament, she will tie her record of 11 wins in a single season set last season.
