An Se-young

An Se-young is, to my eyes, the most complete women's singles badminton player in the world right now. The Gwangju native capped a remarkable rise with Olympic gold at Paris 2024, and the BWF naming her Female Player of the Year for 2023 only confirmed what anyone watching her movement already knew. What I love is the relentlessness, she covers the court like the floor is on fire and wears opponents down with patience and precision. She was tagged the Most Promising Player back in 2019 and has delivered on every bit of that promise. A true standard-bearer for Korean badminton.
