Line Christophersen is reckoned among Europe’s brightest talents in women’s singles. Consequently, it was with more than passing interest that her performance in Odense was followed.
Facing senior compatriot Line Kjaersfeldt, Christophersen showcased some impressive attributes -- including a lethal smash, and composure on the biggest stage of her young career – to down the experienced Kjaersfeldt, thereby making a sound statement that she had arrived.
Her next match was the big test, for it was against Carolina Marin. With the house solidly behind her, Christophersen gave as good as she got in the first passage of play before Marin shifted gears, winning 21-14 21-8.
