00:00Yeah, it's been a long time since I faced him.

00:15It's not many players I play against where we get into these clear rallies and where

00:19you have to stay very patient.

00:21It was fun to play against him again.

00:24He always brings the best out of me.

00:25I need to stay very tough and focused.

00:28So yeah, very good to play him again.

00:31Tomorrow you're in the final again against T.U.G.

00:34But the past two meetings he has beaten you if I'm not mistaken.

00:39So what do you see happening differently tomorrow?

00:44I see it as totally like a free match for me.

00:46I'm the underdog.

00:47I will do my absolute best, fight with everything I got, try and enjoy the Axias Arena once

00:52again and another final and against T.U.G.

00:56It's a huge moment for me.

00:57So I'll try to stay present and fight with everything I got.

01:01You changed coaches to your brother Kasper.

01:03So what do you think he has brought to your game so far?

01:08Nothing.

01:11We have fun together.

01:13It's great to have him on board.

01:15It's not been very long, so I don't think it's like he has changed the way I play badminton

01:19or anything.

01:20But he's great support and he's always been great support even before he was my official

01:25coach.

01:27He's my biggest fan, my older brother, so it's phenomenal to have this experience together

01:32with him.

01:33I think we have played like five tournaments together and this is our fourth final, so it's

01:37insane.

01:38It's going very well.

01:39So yeah, we enjoy it.
