podium finish this week in Denmark. “I think we both expected more from our semi-final performance, especially me, as I felt I had a pretty below-standard match. “However, in the other two

matches our level was high and we beat two strong pairs fairly comfortably, which is always nice to do!” Rory Easton and Lizzie Tolman, and Oliver Butler and Abbygael Harris also received

byes to the second round. Butler and Harris lost out 21-12 21-15 to Chinese Taipei’s Lin Bing-Wei and Lee Chih Chen but Easton and Tolman advanced 21-18 21-15 against French pair Natan Begga
