Pieler Kolding, Kamilla Rytter fail to rise in 2012 Yonex Copenhagen Masters
Mixed Doubles partners Mads Pieler Kolding and Kamilla Rytter Juhl fell prey to bad luck and faced a woeful exit from Yonex Copenhagen Masters on Friday, December 28, 2012.
They were up against the Thai duo Sudket Prapakamol-Saralee Thoungthongkam and this epic encounter remained in full swing for 50 minutes.
Both teams challenged each other in all areas of the game and ended this crucial match with a nerve-racking result of 14-21, 21-11 and 21-11.
The Danish campaigners had a dream start as they bagged first match point with distinction but they could not go with same flow in the following games and crashed out of the home event.
On the other hand, Sudket-Saralee showed great fighting spirit and saved the honour by prevailing in ending two sets.
In the opening game, Pieler Kolding and Kamilla Rytter took off in perfect manner and established an unassailable lead in no time.
They maintained a significant difference until half time and strengthened their grip with an indomitable total of 11.
Latter part of the game was also dominated by the native shuttlers as they did not give the opposing team even a single counterattack opportunity.
Pieler Kolding and Kamilla Rytter played impeccable badminton and swept the table with an impressive margin of 21-14.
However, it proved their last success in this tournament as the Thai players showed a transformed character and tipped the scale in their favour.
Sudket and Saralee did not look confuse even after the first set loss. This time they changed their tactics and played with an authoritative approach from very first stroke. This aggressive approach helped them to bring the contest to right balance.
Though, Pieler Kolding and Kamilla Rytter strived hard to come out of their rivals’ influence but their fluctuated performance led them to an 11-21 defeat.
With this development, both pairs were locked in a tough competition and they put all in their possession to survive this battle.
Initially, the Danish players were in strong position but then Sudket and Saralee struck hard and turned the tables.
Both Thai campaigners registered a winning score of 21-11 and cast them out of Yonex Copenhagen Masters.
