Line Kjaersfeldt finally got it right on her 11th attempt. In 10 previous encounters against Carolina Marin the Dane had never got past the Spaniard; today, in the second round of the PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2022, Kjaersfeldt achieved her long-sought triumph, 21-19 19-21 21-13.
And while Kjaersfeldt herself admitted that Marin wasn’t probably at her best, it was still a grand moment – her third consecutive quarterfinals after making the last-eight at the Indonesia Masters and the Indonesia Open earlier this month.
“I know that she’s just coming back from a really serious injury again, so I also knew that maybe she’s not in her best shape right now. But that's my chance. And I took it and I'm so happy,” said Kjaersfeldt.
