The men’s single Dane Jan Ø. Jørgensen won in two games, 21-11/21-15, against Kashyap Parupalli from India.
There was no doubt this Thursday night that Jan Ø. Jørgensen is a very popular man in Denmark. The crowd in Odense Idrætshal went wild after he won the last rally and Jan Ø. Jørgensen was very satisfied with the way he played the match, especially because he didn’t do well yesterday.
“I was so angry with myself yesterday, so I’m just happy that I’m improved my game today. I was much more concentrated and if I can keep improving like this, I can make it really fare in this tournament. ,” Jan Ø. Jørgensen says.
Who he will face in the quarter final is to be determined later Thursday night, when another local hero, Viktor Axelsen is up against the world’s number one Lee Chong Wei. But no matter who he will compete against, Jan Ø. Jørgensen know it’s going to be a tough match.
“It will be really difficult tomorrow, but I know I did well today, so I feel calm,” he says.
