Top Chinese Badminton Player Falls Short, Finals Hopes Dashed as Ahn Se-young Dominates
Hangzhou, China – China’s hopes of dethroning badminton world number one Ahn se-young at teh Hangzhou Asian Games suffered a major blow as key player Chen Yufei‘s performance fell short of expectations, described by Chinese media as a “huge negative news.” Despite being the top-ranked Chinese player, Chen Yufei’s ranking points did not translate to success against her Korean rival.
