Tine Rasmussen started out quite nervous. She tried to attack but Wang Yihan had a god defence and she started taking the lead. But Tine Rasmussen followed closely and also got her game going. Slowly she got in front and won the set 21-18.
Second set started best for the Dane. She had the lead throughout the set. But she never managed to be in the lead with more than a few points. However Wang Yihan took advantage of Tine Rasmussen’s mistakes and the young Chinese won the set 19-21.
It turned out to be another three sets match between the two players like in the All England finale. Third set was a close-run in the beginning. But Tine Rasmussen was in front all the time and even though Wang Yihan kept fighting, Tine Rasmussen had the upper hand and won the set 21-14.
Comeback on home ground
What a great comeback for the Dane after being injured for a long time. Tine Rasmussen couldn’t stop smiling after the victory.
“Throughout the match I just felt that I was going to win. Also when I didn’t have the lead. I kept having confidence on my self even though I made mistakes and that made the difference today,” said Tine Rasmussen who wins Denmark Open for the first time in her carrier.
Today she showed the world that she is back in the top of world badminton.
