Despite facing higher seeded English duo Gabrielle Adcock/Chris Adcock (No.3), fourth seeds Mark Lamsfuss and Isabel Herttrich prevailed in the final on Sunday to grab their third career title at DANISA Denmark Open 2020.
Clinching the win, the pair became the first German success story at the competition in mixed doubles after almost half a century. Wolfgang Bochow/Marieluise Wackerow were the last to be champions in 1971.
“It’s extra cool. There were some good European pairs we beat to get this far. We showed we did something right in the summer and it's just great playing for Germany. I wear the flag on my shirt with pride,” said Herttrich with a big smile post-match.
