Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen faced an unexpected defeat in the afternoon session at the BWF World Superseries Finals today. The Danish Men’s Doubles pair, who have been reigning champions since 2010, were surprised by the outstanding performance of Japan’s Hiroyuki Endo and Kenichi Hayakawa. Endo and Hayakawa, whom Boe and Mogensen defeated in last year’s final, managed to outplay them in just 38 minutes, winning 21-18 21-15 and leading Group B. This victory was Endo and Hayakawa’s first in four matches against the Europeans.
Endo and Hayakawa were thrilled with their remarkable performance and expressed how much progress they have made since last year. They now consider themselves on the same level as Boe and Mogensen, who they used to admire. Their confidence has grown as they performed well this season and retained their Japan national title last week. In their next match, they will be facing Koreans, Lee Yong Dae and Ko Sung Hyun.
