DENMARK’S doubles shuttler Anders Skaarup Rasmussen may be 33 but he is not thinking about retirement just yet.

Rasmussen, well known for his flamboyant celebrations on court as well as his skills, is still going strong with partner Kim Astrup and the world No. 9 pair are hoping to be the first Danish pair to lift the men’s doubles title in the Malaysian Open starting tomorrow.
