Former top players

The level in this tournament is quite high due to the qualification for the Olympics. We will for example see former top players Carsten Mogensen and Mads Kolding play in the men’s doubles, but as they are still a new pair, they are only seeded fifth in this tournament.  

Mogensen and Kolding have only played a couple of tournaments as Kolding has had some backpain so he could not play.
