Seoul – South Korea’s world No. 1 An Se Young continues her reign as the undisputed queen of women’s singles, showcasing a staggering 32-1 win-loss record this season and clinching five titles, including three Super 1000 crowns in 2025 alone.
Her recent triumph came at the Indonesia Open 2025, where she staged a jaw-dropping comeback to defeat China’s Wang Zhi Yi 13-21, 21-19, 21-15 in the final. Down 9-17 in the second game, An rallied with precision and composure, proving once again why she’s the most feared name in the sport.
“My ultimate goal is to become a player who never loses,” An Se Young stated confidently during a post-tournament interview. “I want to stay at the top and show consistent excellence on court.”
Aware of the growing target on her back, An acknowledged that competitors are studying her every move.
“I know many players are analyzing my game now. I only have one body and one mind, so there are limits, but I’ve become clearer about how I should play and train,” she added.
In addition to her dominance, An Se Young has now accumulated 66 wins in BWF Super 1000 tournaments, setting a new all-time record for women’s singles. This surpasses Tai Tzu Ying, who held the previous record at 60 victories.
Since the BWF restructured its tournament system in 2018, Super 1000 events have represented the pinnacle of the sport outside the World Tour Finals. An’s wins span prestigious titles including the All England Open (2 titles), Indonesia Open (2), Malaysia Open (2), and China Open (1).
Here’s how the top players rank in Super 1000 victories:
-
🥇 An Se Young (KOR) – 66 wins
-
🥈 Akane Yamaguchi (JPN) – 64 wins
-
🥉 Chen Yufei (CHN) – 61 wins
-
4️⃣ Tai Tzu Ying (TPE) – 60 wins
Tai Tzu Ying, also known as “Dr. Tai,” was the first player in history to reach 60 Super 1000 wins, winning two All England titles, two Indonesia Opens, and one Thailand Open.
An Se Young’s dominance not only reflects her physical prowess but also her mental evolution. As she pushes the limits of excellence, badminton fans around the world will be watching to see if she can truly become “unbeatable.”
