The first stop after the epidemic is also the last stop of this year's World Tour - the Danish Badminton Open came to an end yesterday. Several main Japanese teams were sent to win the women's singles and women's doubles championships, and the other three championships were won by European players.
Denmark is more than Ansailong
With the overwhelming advantage in the number of participants, European players shined in this site, occupying seven of the ten seats in the finals. Antonsen and Rasmus, two Danish men's singles freshmen, defeated Taipei, Taipei, and Nishimoto's Nishimoto's New Year in the semi-finals, respectively, locking the men's singles championship and runner-up at Odense home court. In the final, Antonsen lost one game 18-21, and then won two consecutive games 21-19 and 21-12, reversing and winning the championship.
Although there are few famous players participating in the competition, the value of this championship is greatly reduced, Antonsen, the new generation of Danish golden boy, has made great progress in the past two years. He has become the "Denmark No. 1" in rankings, and has gradually become the two-mini stars of Danish men's singles with Anselon. They are all the main gold-strapped points in Denmark at next year's Olympics.
Men's Doubles Finals, Rio Olympic bronze medalist Marcus/Chris defeated the Russian giants Ivanov/Sozonov in three games to win the championship; in the mixed doubles final, German Mark/Isabella defeated the English combination Edcock/Gabri 2-1, successfully reaching the top.
The three Japanese girls' turnaround
Hope Okuhara and Yuki Fukushima/Ayaka Hirota helped only a few Japanese teams with six main players to lock in two championships, but their winnings were a bit surprising. Okuhara hoped that the last time she won the championship was 23 months ago in the 2018 Hong Kong Open. It was not because she was in a downturn, but because she fell into a vicious circle of losing in the finals. In 2019, she entered the finals of six competitions including the World Championships, Fuzhou, Denmark, Japan, , Singapore, , Australia, etc., but lost all of them, with a winning rate of 0 in the final, which is really embarrassing. On the contrary, Ma Lin also reached 6 finals in 2019 and finally won 3 gold and 3 silver.
In the women's singles final, Ma Lin, who played at home in Europe, can be said to have gained strength and failed to score points. She was almost in a state of trailing and chasing points in both games. She lost 19-21 and 17-21, and Okuhara Hope broke her 23-month championship drought.
Japan's two pairs of women's doubles met in the final, because these two pairs participated in the top ten in the world. Finally, the top seed Fukushima Yuki/Higata Ayaka defeated Nagahara and Kona/Matsumoto to win the championship with a win of 21-10, 16-21-21, 21-18. This result is also a bit surprising, because the "Raise Flower" group had lost four consecutive times against the "Double High" group before, and its overall record was not superior, including the loss in Nanjing and Basel for two consecutive World Championship finals.
However, this result is reasonable. The "double high" combination did not perform well in the Open, but it performed well in the World Championships that only participated in two times; the "Raise Flower" combination won the runner-up of the World Championships for three consecutive years, but the Open record was outstanding, and it has won the highest All England and Danish Open championships this year. After Olympic champion Misaki Matsutomo/Reiha Takahashi announced that was taken for , the problem of choosing 2 in the Japanese women's doubles has changed from being clear to no longer exist. The remaining two pairs of women's doubles styles are completely different, continuing the advantages of Japanese women's doubles since this cycle.
