The 2nd set score was 23 to 22.
What is surprising is that they fell behind by 13 to 19 and then turned around.
Ahn Se-young is a typical slow starter.
Strengthen the defense and induce the opponent to make mistakes.
It is a style that uses physical strength to tire out the opponent and becomes relatively more powerful in the second half.
However, badminton rules are changing.
Perhaps because he is aware of this, Ahn Se-young’s playing style is becoming more aggressive and he is getting closer to becoming a technically complete player.
There are also opinions that it may actually be an opportunity for Ahn Se-young, who is playing with a knee injury, in terms of preventing injury and preserving physical strength.
Now, in badminton, “”early concentration””, “”attacking power””, and “”technical ability”” have become more important than concentration in the second half through physical superiority.
(For reference, the world’s No. 1 men’s doubles team, Seung-jae Seo (26) and Won-ho Kim (25), are also representative slow starters.)
