SEOUL, Oct. 18 (Yonhap) -- Reigning world badminton champion An Se-young won the Denmark Open for her ninth international title of the season.

An, world No. 1, defeated third-ranked Akane Yamaguchi 2-1 (21-23, 21-14, 21-18) for her second consecutive Denmark Open title at SJF Bank Arena in Odense, Denmark, on Sunday.

An extended her winning streak against Yamaguchi to 10, while pushing her record to 61-1 in 62 matches this year.

In addition to her six victories on the Badminton World Federation World Tour, the Asian Championships gold medal in April and the world title in August, An also won the Asian Games gold medal last month over Yamaguchi, becoming the first player to win back-to-back women's singles gold medals.

An's only loss of the year came in the final of the All England Open in March.

Against Yamaguchi on Sunday, An trailed 6-4 in the opening game before scoring the next six points. But the Japanese veteran fought back to make it an 18-18 tie, and ended up taking the game 23-21 on An's unforced error for the final point.

Yamaguchi led 13-11 in the second game but An battled back with seven straight points. An conceded just one more point the rest of the game to take it 21-14.

An found herself down 11-5 in the third game, after getting her right foot checked for apparent discomfort. But An still had plenty left in her tank, turning that deficit into a 16-12 lead in a hurry.

Yamaguchi clawed her way back into the match but An proved too much to handle.

首尔，10月18日（韩联社）——现任世界羽毛球冠军安世荣赢得丹麦公开赛冠军，这是她本赛季获得的第九个国际冠军头衔。

世界排名第一的安以 2-1 (21-23, 21-14, 21-18) 击败排名第三的山口茜，在丹麦欧登塞的 SJF 银行体育馆举行的丹麦公开赛上连续第二次获得冠军。

安将她对阵山口的连胜纪录扩大到 10 场，同时将她今年的战绩提升到 62 场比赛 61 胜 1 负。

除了在世界羽毛球联合会世界巡回赛上获得六次胜利、4 月份获得亚洲锦标赛金牌、8 月份获得世界冠军之外，安智君上个月还在亚运会上战胜山口真司，夺得金牌，成为首位连续两届获得女子单打金牌的选手。

安在当年唯一一次失利是在三月份的全英公开赛决赛中。

周日对阵山口的比赛中，安在首局以4-6落后，随后连得6分。但这位日本老将奋起直追，将比分扳成18平，最终凭借安的非受迫性失误，山口以23-21赢得了比赛。

山口在第二局以13-11领先，但安奋起直追，连得7分。之后安只丢1分，最终以21-14拿下第二局。

安在第三局以5-11落后，此前她因右脚不适接受了检查。但安依然体力充沛，迅速将劣势转化为16-12的领先。

山口奋力追赶，但安的实力太强，山口最终还是输掉了比赛。
