An Se-young advanced to the women's singles semifinals of the World Badminton Championships after returning from injury. She defeated China's Han Yue 2-0 in the quarterfinals, demonstrating overwhelming skills. If she wins this tournament, An Se-young will be able to lift her second personal career World Championship trophy. In the semifinals, she will face Wang Zhiyi, ranked third in the world. Although An Se-young has a good record of 12 wins and 1 loss in 13 previous encounters, she also needs to be cautious as she lost to Wang Zhiyi in the final of the recent All England Open.
