Sports writing, Jan 28 (EFE) .- The Spanish Carolina Marín, Olympic badminton champion, secured her place in the semifinals by beating Canadian Michelle Li 21-16 and 21-13 in her second match of group A of the World Tour Finals, which are held in Thailand.
The Huelva, who in her first match had beaten the Russian Evgeniya Kosetskaya, with this victory ensures her qualification for the next phase of the tournament.
Marín beat the Canadian “alternating great points with unforced errors as a result of accumulated fatigue,” according to Badminton Spain, and tomorrow she will play against South Korean An Se Young in the last match of the group.
The Spanish player has won the two tournaments played so far, since the beginning of the year, in the “bubble” of Bangkok, and now aspires to win in the most prestigious tournament on the circuit, which brings together the eight best of the year in each category: male and female singles, male and female doubles and mixed doubles.
The Spanish, current Olympic champion and three times world champion, appears at the event as the leader of the annual classification.
