We are happy to announce the seedings for this year’s Yonex Denmark Open presented by Danisa.
Olympic bronze medalist Viktor Axelsen has been second seeded in his bid to win in his hometown, Odense for the first time. Only Lee Chong Wei is seeded higher after withdrawal from Lin Dan and Chen Long. That opens the door for Jan Ø. Jørgensen who is seeded three.
In the women’s singles, the Olympic champion Carolina Marin has been top seeded. A rematch between her and Olympic silver medalist Pusarla Sindhu is a possibility with Sindhu seeded sixth.
In men’s doubles Denmark’s home hopes Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen have been second seeded while Olympic silver medalists Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl are seeded fifth. Christinna Pedersen is also seeded fifth in mixed double with her partner Joachim Fischer.
Maybe this is the year for Danish badminton to get the first title in Yonex Denmark Open presented by Danisa since the triumph of Joachim Fischer/Christinna Pedersen back in 2011.
Jung Kyung Eun/Shin Seung Chan and Ko Sung Hyun/Kim Ha Na are second and top seeded in their chase for winning Yonex Denmark Open presented by Danisa for second time in a row.
