KUALA LUMPUR: South Korea's An Se Young has cemented her status as badminton's dominant force after pushing through injury to claim her 10th title of the season.
Her three-game comeback victory against India's PV Sindhu in the French Open final on Sunday extended her winning streak to 50 matches and drew praise for her determination.
With rivals and observers questioning how long she can maintain her relentless standard, Se Young proved that not even physical distress could derail her pursuit of history.
Despite slipping and injuring her right Achilles tendon at the Denmark Open a week earlier, the 24-year-old took to the court with heavy strapping and overturned a first-game deficit to win 16-21, 21-11, 21-12.
