An extraordinary day of semi-final action at VICTOR DENMARK OPEN 2026 reached a breathtaking conclusion as home favourite Anders Antonsen produced a remarkable comeback against reigning World Tour Finals champion Christo Popov.
In front of an electric crowd at SJF Bank Arena, Antonsen recovered from a crushing 9-21 defeat in the opening game to turn the match completely on its head.
With the Danish fans roaring him on, the two-time VICTOR DENMARK OPEN champion fought his way back to claim a sensational 9-21, 21-16, 21-13 victory, securing his place in Sunday’s final and keeping his dream of a third title on home soil alive.
The home crowd will have one more opportunity to cheer on their Danish star when Antonsen takes to the court for tomorrow’s men’s singles final.

Elsewhere, An Se Young once again commanded the spotlight. The Korean superstar secured her place in a third VICTOR DENMARK OPEN final, putting herself within touching distance of another remarkable milestone. Victory on Sunday would see her become the most decorated women’s singles player in the tournament’s history.
And those are just two of the compelling stories awaiting us on finals day.
Five finals. A host of world-class stars. Five prestigious titles waiting to be claimed.
After a semi-final day filled with extraordinary rallies, dramatic twists and unforgettable moments, the stage is set for a fitting conclusion to VICTOR DENMARK OPEN 2026.
If Saturday was anything to go by, Sunday’s finals promise to be something truly special. We cannot wait.
Five days, 155 matches, a packed arena, and an incredible crowd — once again, the VICTOR Denmark Open proved to be the highlight of the Danish badminton calendar. On Sunday, the winners in all five categories were crowned.
Mixed Doubles: Feng Yan Zhe / Huang Dong Ping (China)
In an all-Chinese final between world No. 2 Feng Yan Zhe / Huang Dong Ping and the top-ranked pair Jian Zhen Bang / Wei Ya Xin, it was the second seeds who dominated. Feng and Huang were ruthless, outplaying their compatriots in straight games, 21–13, 21–9.
The pair has now won the VICTOR Denmark Open three consecutive years and reached the final four years in a row. Huang Dong Ping also triumphed in women’s doubles in 2021, bringing her total number of victories in Odense to four. The Olympic champions clearly have a soft spot for Hans Christian Andersen’s hometown.
Women’s Doubles: Baek Ha-Na / Lee So Hee (Korea)
Just like the mixed doubles final, the women’s doubles final was an all-national affair — this time between Korea’s Baek Ha-Na / Lee So Hee and Kim Hye Jeong / Kong Hee Yong.
Baek and Lee came from behind to claim the title in three games, 15–21, 21–14, 21–15. It was their first-ever win against their compatriots and couldn’t have come on a better day, as the pair captured their first VICTOR Denmark Open title. Baek and Lee are no strangers to major success, having previously won Super 1000 titles at All England and Indonesia Open — and now they can add Denmark to their list.
Men’s Doubles: Takuro Hoki / Yugo Kobayashi (Japan)
The Japanese duo claimed their second VICTOR Denmark Open crown after a thrilling three-game battle against Indonesia’s newly formed top pair, Fajar Alfian / Muhammad Fikri.
Hoki and Kobayashi sealed the match 21–18, 15–21, 21–19, capping off a week of consistently brilliant performances in Odense with a hard-fought victory over a strong in-form pair.
Women’s Singles: An Se Young (Korea)
Olympic champion An Se Young took sweet revenge for last year’s final loss to China’s Wang Zhi Yi. In the opening game, the Korean world No. 1 was simply untouchable, racing ahead to win 21–5. Wang responded better after the interval but eventually had to settle for second place as An closed the match 24–22 in the second game.
An Se Young has now won practically everything there is to win in badminton — and she can finally add the VICTOR Denmark Open to her glittering résumé.
Men’s Singles: Jonatan Christie (Indonesia)
China’s world No. 1 Shi Yu Qi is a formidable opponent with a strong head-to-head record against most players — but not against Jonatan Christie. Of their 17 encounters, the Indonesian has now won ten.
Christie delivered another stellar performance in the final, coming back from a game down to win 13–21, 21–15, 21–15. With this triumph, he adds the VICTOR Denmark Open to a men’s singles trophy cabinet that would make many of his rivals green with envy.
