JAKARTA — South Korean women's singles An Se-young admitted that she was not in a fit condition to appear in the Indonesia Open 2022. However, she still forced herself to take part after seeing the huge interest of the audience.

The 20-year-old badminton player previously withdrew from the round of 16 of the 2022 Indonesia Masters due to injury. He could not continue the game against representatives of the United States Iris Wang when the match had entered the second game.

“The support from Indonesian fans is huge. This support makes me even more excited to perform,” said the BWF world number three athlete at Istora Senayan, Monday, June 13.

An Se-young is the defending champion at the Indonesia Open. He won the BWF Super 1000 level championship last year when the tournament was held in Bali in a bubble system and without spectators.

At that time, he also brought two other titles from tournaments held together with the Indonesia Open. The two titles were respectively from Indonesia Masters and BWF Tour Finals.

“Since I already won at the Indonesia Open last year, of course I want to give my best this year. Even though I'm still injured from the Indonesia Masters yesterday, I still want to compete at the maximum at the Indonesia Open," said An Se-young.

An Se-yung will go down as the third seed at this year's Indonesia Open. The athlete who was born in Gwangju in 2002 had an opponent who on paper was relatively easy to beat, namely Neslihan Yigit, from Turkey.
