An's opponent in the final is China's He Bing Jiao. He met with Carolina Marin of Spain in the semifinal. He lost one game and was trailing 6-10 in two games. Marin was hurt during the game while losing the match. Marin, holding his legs, wore a brace and continued the game, but fell back to the court complaining of pain. He eventually gave up the game 8-10. He failed to win a game and was pushed back in two games, but by luck, he advanced to the final. Marin left the court to applause. He shed tears after the game.
Marin's injury is a sad and sad scene, but it is a result of luck for Ahn Se-young. Instead of Marin, who was ahead of him in the game, if Heo Bing Zhao, who had poor performance, comes up, he will be able to play more comfortably. Just looking at the world rankings, there is a difference between Marin and Heo Bing Zhao in fourth place and ninth place.
In addition, An Se-young's rival Chen Yu-fei (China) was eliminated early in the quarterfinals at this tournament.
"I wanted to play against Chen Yu-fei in the final," Ahn said after the match at the joint coverage area. "I thought the picture would be perfect, but I'm a bit disappointed," Ahn said. "I don't want to think about the result because I have to win the title. It doesn't matter who the opponent is. All players are rivals, even if they are not Chen Yu-fei. They are good at everything. There are many variables in the Olympics. You don't even give me a gold medal just because you don't have Chen Yu-fei. The key is to play without paying attention."
In fact, neither Marin nor He Bing Zhao is too burdensome for Ahn. Based on their opponents' records, Marin has six wins and four losses and eight wins and five losses against He Bing Zhao.
