Keep on believing

In the meantime their compatriots Mads Pieler Kolding and Mads Conrad Petersen had a somewhat tougher match in their quarter final. In an exciting first game they were some points behind, but with some help from the audience, they came back and won 23-21.

Eventually they kept on pushing through and the second game was less of a problem. Winning the second game 21-15 made that beating third seeded pair Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen was a fact.

Mads Pieler Kolding: We kept on believing that we were on the right track, even when we were behind. If you do that, there is a good chance you end up winning.
