The victory also made An the first player to win the tournament three years in a row, while extending her perfect head-to-head record against Miyazaki to 8-0. Even more impressively, the Korean did not drop a single game throughout the week, with none of her opponents managing more than 28 points a match.
“I’m so proud of myself. I’m really pleased with the result and I feel so happy,” the world No.1 said after adding another trophy to an already extraordinary season.
It puts her on course to surpass her record-equalling haul of 11 individual titles last year, although the reigning Olympic and world champion acknowledges the challenge will only intensify as a new generation emerges.
