The Chinese mainland's Wang Zhiyi ended badminton's Denmark Open on a high note on Sunday night by pulling off a remarkable upset against South Korea's Olympic champion An Se-young in the women's singles final.
Despite trailing in their head-to-head record with just two wins in ten against the world number two, the 24-year-old showed no signs of pressure against the world no. 2, securing a dominant victory 21-10, 21-12. Notably, Wang's flawless performance in the Denmark Open, where she didn't drop a single game, marked her first ever title win in the tournament.
\"This victory is a validation for me, providing me with a clear focus for my future training,\" beamed Wang after her breakthrough. \"I will maintain my dedication and discipline, aiming for further breakthroughs in upcoming competitions.\"
