The Danish Open Badminton Tournament entered the final day, and the focus was on the men's singles final Momota Kendou vs. Arcelor. Arcelorn, who has the advantage of the home field, has maintained its peak state from the Olympic championship to this event. Momota Kendou's luck has also taken a sharp turn since he was injured in a traffic accident in early 2020, and he showed his determination in this tournament, but unfortunately he was reversed by the opponent in a set ahead of Arcelor.
Born in 1994, two 27-year-olds have very different fates in 2021. Momota Kendou, who has been having a smooth career, after a car accident in early 2020, the rest of the season is scrapped, and he is ready for a strong comeback at the beginning of this year, but he is infected with new crown pneumonia. The All England Round of 8 was stopped, and the home game in the Tokyo Olympics was pinned on high hopes to explode the big cold group stage out. As the world number one golfer, Momota kendo certainly hopes to get rid of bad luck as soon as possible, and it may be a good start to brave the final of the Danish Open without losing a set.
In contrast, Arcelor won four consecutive tour titles last year, including the All England Championship, and continued its strength this year, following the Tokyo Olympics crown and reaching the final of the Danish Open at home. In the process of qualifying, he also did not lose a set, defeating Malaysia's brother Lee Zi Ka in the round of 8 and taking over Hong Kong player Lee Cheuk Yew in the round of 4.
In this peak duel between the first brother and the second brother in badminton, Acesaron took advantage of Momota Kendou's slow heat for a time to lead by many points, and the battle reached the middle of the first set, Momota gradually caught up, and the two sides fought until 20:20 at the end of the game, and at the critical moment, Momota seized the opportunity to grab the first set at 22:20.
Momota took advantage of the bravery to lead all the way in the second set, but Arcelong was fully cheered by the home fans and family, and chased after it to take back a set at 21:18, equalizing 1:1, and the match entered the decider. Arcelor played with momentum, fighting more and more courageously, ending the tournament with a round of 21:12.
In the women's singles event, Japan's Akane Yamaguchi and South Korean teenager Ahn Seok-young co-starred in a wonderful battle. The 19-year-old Ahn took the first set 21:18, and in the second set, Akane Yamaguchi clung to the edge of defeat and finally equalized 25:23, with one goal and two back and forth for 65 boards. Unfortunately, Ahn was plagued by injuries and was unable to continue the tournament at 5:16 in the decider, and after the final of the Thailand Masters last January, she once again lost to Akane Yamaguchi on the tour and was second.
