badminton player-Asian Games Badminton player embraces pressure of No. 1 ranking ahead of Asian Games JINCHEON, South Korea, Aug. 16 (Yonhap) -- At the end of July, South Korean badminton star An Se-young rose to No. 1 in the women's singles world rankings, becoming the first player from the country in 27 years to do so. With that comes heightened expectations for the 21-year-old ahead of the Asian Games, which open in September in Hangzhou, China. And the world No. 1 status doesn't guarantee anything at the Asian Games, considering that the top five players and eight of the top 10 players in the women's singles hail from Asia.
