Shi Yuqi and He Bingjiao took singles triumphs in Odense as China won four out of the five titles on offer. Find out what happened, as it happened.

After trailing 8-9, the Chinese reeled off three straight points to take an 11-8 lead into the mid-game interval. But their compatriots roared back, taking the next seven points to go into the lead. Shi Yuqi saw off Lee Zii Jia to make it four titles for China with He Bingjiao getting the better of Olympic champ Chen Yufei. When the match finished, I felt the tears come." The third game was full of tension and excitement, and it was Zheng and Huang who converted their fourth match point to triumph 21-19, 20-22, 21-19 and claim their second Denmark Open title four years after their first. Zheng and Huang took the first game and had two championship points in game two, but the relatively new pairing of Feng Yanzhe and Olympic champion Huang Dongping managed to force a decider. Indonesia's Alfian/Ardianto took the mens doubles. They were sure to win the first encounter of the day in the mixed doubles, and victory eventually went to world champions Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong. Jia was the star of the match and produced a point to remember with her side 17-13 in front and trying to withstand a spirited fightback from the Koreans who had both won this title in the past with different partners. And Alfian and Ardianto went on to take the opener 21-19 in what must be a big psychological blow to the second seeds. And after failing to convert three game points, Shi took it 21-18 to put him on the brink of a first title since the 2019 Swiss Open. After converting his first match point at the end of an hour and four minutes' play, Shi shared warm embraces with his coaches in what could be the start of his return to the big time.
