Boost for Antonsen after Denmark Open draw


Important man: Denmark will be counting on Anders Antonsen to win the title as their reigning All-England champion Viktor Axelsen is still recovering from surgery.

PETALING JAYA: World No. 3 Anders Antonsen received a boost in his bid to become the first home shuttler to win the Denmark Open men’s singles title in 10 years.

The 23-year-old must have felt relieved after learning from Tuesday’s draw that he has avoided Japanese top seed Kento Momota in the same half of the Oct 13-18 tournament in Odense.
