The YONEX All England is in its 121st year – and what better way to celebrate its history than have four-time champion – and eight-time finalist – Morten Frost talk about his association with the world’s oldest tournament?
I was 17 the first time I played and getting to the third round of the All England was pretty big for me, so I was very happy.
That was when I thought, okay, perhaps this is more than just recreation, it’s actually something that I could drive up a lot further than what I thought was possible. I only played my first All England due to the fact that the Danish BA only wanted to send ten players, and I was No.11. I was told I was not going, and of course I was very sad. But then one of the players withdrew, and I was sent as No.10. So I played because somebody pulled out.
