BWF World Tour: Subhankar Dey’s Triumph and Vittinghus’ Redemption

India’s Subhankar Dey achieved a remarkable victory against Tommy Sugiarto in the YONEX French Open 2019, marking his second win over the Indonesian this year. This triumph comes after a challenging period for Dey, who hadn’t secured a victory on the HSBC BWF World Tour since his previous encounter with Sugiarto. Dey expressed his elation, stating, “It feels great. It’s a long-awaited result. I beat him at the India Open in March, but for a very long time, I haven’t been able to get a win.”

Dey capitalized on the slow conditions and Sugiarto’s fatigue from the semifinals in Odense. However, he acknowledged that despite the circumstances, Sugiarto remained a formidable opponent. Dey’s focus now shifts to his upcoming match on Thursday, as he aims to conclude the season on a high note.

Meanwhile, Denmark’s Hans-Kristian Vittinghus also experienced a much-needed victory, defeating World Championships bronze medalist Kantaphon Wangcharoen.

Reflecting on his performance, Vittinghus highlighted his excellent execution and ability to maintain focus throughout the match. He recognized the importance of consistency when competing against world-class players and believes that he has finally turned the corner.
