All systems are ready to go, and everybody who has arrived in Odense – players, coaches, officials and technical support personnel - were excited to be part of badminton’s return. On the practice courts, the teams went about their business as usual.
The event is special for a number of reasons. The circumstances under which it is being held are unprecedented; players have had little match experience in preceding months and might possibly take some time to find their rhythm.
Still, those with a proven track record, players like Anders Antonsen, Chou Tien Chen, Nozomi Okuhara and Carolina Marin in the singles, and pairs like Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota and Mayu Matsumoto/Wakana Nagahara, will be expected to maintain their dominance.
