[Saba Sports News] In mid-August, Danish badminton star Anders Antonsen discovered that his coach Joachim Persson was involved in match-fixing, leading him to dismiss the coach and report the matter to the Badminton World Federation. Recently, there has been new development as Antonsen officially announced that his brother Kasper Antosen will take over as his coach. Antonsen stated that throughout his life, his brother has been his most loyal supporter and someone he can always trust, expressing happiness to fight alongside him. Records show that Antonsen comes from a badminton family, with both his father and brother having been professional badminton players. However, neither achieved the same level of success as Antonsen. Next, Antonsen will compete in the China Badminton Open held in Changzhou from September 17 to 22 with his brother by his side. After finding a replacement for Persson, Antonsen’s training has returned to normal, and he confidently stated in an interview that he hopes to win the China Badminton Open to repay the trust of his fans and brother.
