Today the players started their training i Odense Idrætshal, where Yonex Denmark Open is to be held. But even though it’s only practice so far, the ambitions and the spirit are high. And one thing is sure, the Indonesian mix double with Tontowi Ahmad and Lilyana Natsir is in Denmark to win.
Tontowi Ahmad has packed his suitcase with a lot of self-confidence. The 26 years old Indonesian player is only in Denmark on one purpose.
“I am here to be a champion, and I’m confident, that it will happen. The hotel and practice facilities are good, so it’s all really nice,” he says.
And it is understandable that he is so self-confident. He have had a really good 2013 together with his partner Lilyanan Natsir. They won All England in the spring and this August they became World Champions. Actually there is a pretty good change that they might come to Denmark again soon, when the World Championship is in Ballerup, just outside Copenhagen next August.
“Yes I think I will come. If I do, it will be to win again,” says Tontowi Ahmad.
