We can’t wait to open the doors in Sydbank Arena where the quarter finals of the European Championship are taking place today. There will be top badminton on all four courts and there is no doubt the audience will have a great evening when Axelsen, Rytter Juhl and Marin enter the arena.
The home crowd are in for a treat with many Danish players left and some very interesting matches ahead. Women’s single Natalia Koch Rohde are facing world and Olympic champion Carolina Marin for the first time and she is really looking forward to that challenge.

- I have never met her before and I have great respect for what she has achieved. That being said I’m going to give everything I have to win the match, Natalia Koch Rohde says.
Danish players as Viktor Axelsen, Mathias Boe, Christinna Pedersen and Joachim Fischer are also going to play today - actually only five out of twenty quarter finals are without Danish players on court. Meanwhile European stars as Carolina Marin, Ivanov/Sozonov and the Adcocks are also going to play for a spot in the semifinal.
The quarter finals will start at 5pm – see the full line up here.
