They weren’t looking for revenge, but there was a still a score to settle for Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen as they overturned the result of their TotalEnergies BWF World Championships 2023 final against Kang Min Hyuk and Seo Seung Jae.
And so, after the most exciting clash of the opening session of the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2023, which saw the Danes come through victorious in an end-game thriller 24-22, Astrup said it was nice to level the 0-1 deficit against the current world champions.
“It was insanely tense, and you could see that both pairs that it was important to win this match and both gave it all, and we left everything out there and luckily for us that was enough,” said Astrup, after the Danes had saved match point and converted their own third opportunity.
