Danish dynamite done
Kasper Henriksen and Anders Kristiansen have played one of their best tournaments but today the journey ended. They lost their match against Jiaming Tao/Junije Sun from China 21-19 19-21 16-21. However, it has been a successful Denmark Open for Henriksen/Kristiansen:
“We have played three matches on a high level and we have beaten some of the best players in the world and it gives a lot of confidence. We played horribly in our latest tournament so it just gives a lot of confidence. It was a great pleasure playing in front of the home crowd and one of the reasons why we had such a successful tournament, ”said Kasper Henriksen after the match. | |
