Are you into badminton and do you love to watch the stars perform on the biggest stage? Then you will be thrilled to see the order of play for the first two days of DANISA DENMARK OPEN 2018 presented by VICTOR.
It all begins with the defending All England champions in mixed doubles Watanabe/Higoshina on Court 3 at 9.00 am. local time against He/Yue from China with a position as number 12 on the world ranking. After that, the world championships silver medalist Pusarla V. Sindhu (3) will face Beiwen Zhang who plays in Denmark for Vendsyssel and performed well as runner-up in VICTOR Korea Open last week.
It continues with big stars in live action as players like Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi, Chen Long, Saina Nehwal, Akane Yamaguchi, Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen and the China Open winners Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup will enter the courts in Odense Sports Park.
