An Se-young won the season finals, bagging her 11th title out of 16 tournaments this year. This ties the record set by Japan's men's singles player Kento Momota in 2019. (Note: If Seo Seung-jae wins the upcoming men's doubles, he'll hit 12 wins and take the #1 spot solo). She also earned $1,003,175 in prize money this season, becoming the first player in history to crack the $1 million mark. Her career earnings have reached $2.56M, widening the gap with #2 ranked Viktor Axelsen (Denmark, $2.28M). Furthermore, with this win, her win rate for the season is a staggering 94.80%, shattering the previous record of 92.75% held by legends Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei. (This is based on 60+ matches; apparently, Susi Susanti holds the top spot at 45-1 if the 60-match threshold isn't applied).
And the craziest part about An Se-young setting these legendary records? She's only 23 years old.
"Netizens are hyped over An Se-young's record-breaking prize money and 95% win rate, noting that being 23 with these stats is basically a 'cheat code.'"
