Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus shines once again as Denmark secures a historic victory over China in Group B. Despite trailing 1-2, the Danish team fought back to claim a thrilling win.

Anders Skaarup Rasmussen and Frederik Sogaard formed an unlikely duo that leveled the score for Denmark.

The 36-year-old’s craft and experience were evident as he tactfully neutralized Weng’s powerful smashes, securing the match with a 16-21, 21-19, 21-18 triumph.

Vittinghus expressed his excitement, stating, “I wanted to enjoy this one and give it my all. Defeating China is significant for us, as we don’t often achieve this feat. It’s only the third time in history that we’ve beaten them. It’s important to show that we can compete with the best.”

Malaysia Too Strong For Japan

Led by Lee Zii Jia, Malaysia delivered an impressive performance to overpower Japan in their Group D encounter. Kento Momota, the Japanese ace, struggled against Lee Zii Jia, eventually succumbing to a 21-17, 21-8 defeat.
