The months away from competition made little difference to the favoured names on the opening day of the DANISA Denmark Open 2020, with the seeds making short work of their opponents in the first HSBC BWF World Tour event since March.
While there was talk of jitters, it was business as usual for the big guns in action on Tuesday - be it Beiwen Zhang or Carolina Marin in the singles, or Marcus Ellis/Chris Langridge, Chris Adcock/Gabrielle Adcock or Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen in the doubles.
The only surprise, to an extent, was the loss of Line Kjaersfeldt to junior compatriot Line Christophersen, 21-18 21-18. The fast-rising Danish singles prospect, who is playing her first Denmark Open, faces a formidable challenge next as she takes on Marin.
