Denmark Open: Jordan Debuts With a Grateful Hart
The second round of an HSBC BWF World Tour Super 750 event is always going to be a tough wall to climb, particularly so for Welsh women’s singles player Jordan Hart against second seed Nozomi Okuhara.

The 25-year-old is the first women's singles player to represent Wales at this level and after her 21-6 21-12 loss to the former world champion at DANISA Denmark Open 2020, Hart said: “I’m just so happy to be here and experience all this, it’s amazing. I'm really lucky to be here and savouring everything.
"There was not so much pressure coming into the match. Nerves do play a part when facing someone of such calibre, but it was really enjoyable. Even if my face didn't always look that way on court.
“I was constantly under pressure from Okuhara's quality, but what an experience overall and it’s not something I will get to do all the time.”
