In fact, the YONEX Swiss Open 2021 triumph last week seems to have given the French duo the feeling of being wrapped in a cloak of invincibility ahead of the YONEX All England Open 2021.
After defeating Danes Mathias Christiansen/Alexandra BØje in the mixed doubles final, Gicquel told Badminton Europe: “We really wanted to win this one and prove we are the best pair in Europe. And I think we showed that this week.
Delrue added: “We were strong mentally. It was an up and down match but in the end we were better.”
