Boe takes a bow

Remarkable feat: Mathias Boe won two All-England men’s doubles titles in 2011 and 2015 with partner Carsten Mogensen.

PETALING JAYA: It’s rare for an athlete to praise his opponent but former international shuttler Tan Boon Heong is making an exception.

Boon Heong has hailed Denmark’s Mathias Boe as the best European opponent he had ever faced – a day after the Dane’s retirement from the sport.
