Fajar/Fikri reach Denmark Open 2026 final after defeating China

In the Denmark Open 2026, Indonesian men's doubles pair Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri have advanced to the final. After defeating Thailand's Peeratchai Sukphun and Pakkapon Teeraratsakul in the quarterfinals, they secured their place in the final by overcoming China's Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang in a three-game semifinal match with a score of 21-16, 16-21, 21-16. Fajar noted that the fast shuttlecock speed in Odense required tactical adjustments compared to previous tournaments.

In the men's singles category, Denmark's Anders Antonsen has reached the final after defeating Christo Popov in the semifinals with a score of 9-21, 21-16, 21-13. Antonsen will face France's Alex Lanier in the championship match.
