ORLEANS - The clash between the last two badminton women's singles Olympic champions at the Orleans Masters ended with Paris 2024 gold medallist An Se-young beating Tokyo 2020 victor Chen Yufei 21-14, 21-15 in 45 minutes at Palais des Sports on March 9.
It proved the perfect warm-up for South Korea's world No. 1, who heads to the March 11-16 All England Open in Birmingham having won all three of her tournaments in 2025.
The 23-year-old said: "Firstly, I'm so happy to win the match, I'm so happy to see Chen Yufei's comeback. I really enjoyed the match. I enjoy our rivalry and competing against each other."
She will be hoping to regain the All England women's singles title she won in 2023 by defeating Chen in three games.
"I think I can forget about this week," said An, who lost to Japan's Akane Yamaguchi in the 2024 semi-finals.
