Its been a barren seven-months for badminton fans, free of shuttlecock-smashing. But the action is finally back this week - read on for your full guide to watching a Denmark Open live stream, no matter where you are in the world and absolutely FREE.
With the HSBC BWF World Tour halted back in March thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic, this six-day tournament in Odense will implement a bubble system similar to that used recently by cricket and the NBA in an effort to create a safe ecosystem.
Denmark Open 2020 - where and when
The 2020 Denmark Open will be held at the Odense Sports Park in Odense. This year's event runs from Tuesday, October 13 to 18 with the finals held on Sunday from 12pm local time.
Despite the precautions, a number of high profile players have opted not to travel to Denmark for the tournament. World no. 1 ranked Men's singles player Kento Momota and world no. 3 ranked Women's singles player Akane Yamaguchi are among 15 top Japanese players to pull out. India's former women's number one Saina Nehwal and her husband P. Kashyap have also opted to stay away amid concerns over rising coronavirus numbers in Europe.
Those high-profile withdrawals nevertheless open the door for lower ranked and emerging talent to make their mark. Former world no. 1 Kidambi Srikanth looks to be India’s leading light for glory, having been handed a favourable draw, while France’s Christo Popov is being widely tipped to shine in Odense, following a sparkling display for his country at the World Junior Championships last year.
One of the sport's most prestigious tournament's, the Super 750 tournament is also one of badminton's most lucrative with a prize pot this year of $750,000. Last year's event saw Momota claim the men's singles title for the second time in a row, while China's Tai Tzu-ying took the title for the women's championship.
