On Saturday, January 17, 2026, at the India Open 750 semi-finals, An Se Young and Zhi Yi Wang secured their spot in the women’s final after winning their respective matches. Korea’s Young defeated Thailand’s Ratchanok Intanon in a comfortable win by sets of 21-11, 21-7. With the win, Young has extended her winning streak against Intanon to 13 matches. Meanwhile, Wang defeated her counterpart Chen Yu Fei of China by sets of 21-15, 23-21.
Young will look to add another win against Wang when the two face each other in the India Open 2026 women’s singles finals and will try her best to defend her title.
In the opening game, Young took a dominating 6-0 lead over Intanon, who had to work harder before finding her way into the score. But the second game saw a turn of events with Intanon going head-to-head against Young, but failed to continue much further and started to fail against the Korean star.
Besides the singles match, the women’s doubles event was dominated by Japan and China.
