Promising Danish men’s doubles pair Joel Eipe and Rasmus KjÆr blew into the DANISA Denmark Open 2020 like a hurricane. Wiping out the home favourites, Kim Astrup and Anders Rasmussen, the two continued to display a dominating performance in the semifinals, as they faced Olympic bronze medallists Marcus Ellis and Chris Langridge.
Eventually defeated 22-20 21-16 by Ellis and Langridge, Eipe and Kjaer certainly gave the English pair a run for their money in the opening game.
"I think it was a good match, with some fast rallies. The shuttle wasn't as fast as it was in our previous match and they had excellent defence. We struggled to get through in the first and second game. They were just too good today,” said a disappointed Kjaer post-match.
