Unseeded South Korean An Se-young upset Olympic champion Carolina Marín to win the women's singles title at the Badminton World Federation (BWF) French Open in Paris.

The 17-year-old star proved too strong for the Spaniard in the final as she recorded a 16-21, 21-18, 21-5 victory at Stade Pierre de Coubertin.

Victory saw An become the youngest women’s singles winner of a Super 500 tournament or above on the BWF World Tour.

"I’m extremely happy," said An. 

"I worked really hard for the win. 

"This is a great victory for me.

"The fact I’m young helps me a lot because I don’t fear anything."
