The powerful Danes

Moving forward into the second round, the winner of the European Games 2019, will take on the World’s number five ranked Pusarla V. Sindhu from India for the third time, after their last meeting in the Singapore Open 2019 in April.

A great performance in the Men’s Singles, was also given by the talented Anders Antonsen from Denmark in the Istora Gelora Bung Karno hall. The Dame met Sitthikom Thammasin from Thailand and beat him in two straight games with a score of 21-16, 21-15.

Being in excellent form, the Dane has very good memories of this hall, after his big win at the beginning of the year in January against the Japanese kento Momota in the DAIHATSU Indonesia Masters 2019 at the beginning of the year in January .

-Great feeling to be back in Istora Senayan! Looking forward to another match in this amazing atmosphere, he stated on Instagram.
