Following the court lines, An Seyoung tied up 8 off 8 points. This Korean player was again trailing by two points at the half of the second round. Her coach Sung Ji Hyun boosted her up and guided her at every step and then she tried to play and gain points by playing from different angles.
By using drops and reverse slices in the game, An Seyoung forced her opponent to run around every corner in the Badminton Court.
