Magnus Johannesen is back smiling.
The 21-13 21-13 result over Finland’s Kalle Koljonen meant much more than just a win – it was the doorway to his first Super 500 final, and the end of a long wait since his last title match at the Orleans Masters two years ago.
“I feel really good to be in the final,” he said afterward. “It’s really big, I’ve never been to a 500 final. So it gives a boost but also I can play freely because the opponent is the favourite.”
