Thanks for the update!
I remember Jens when he came to Canada many years ago for the Canadian Open, which I believe is now closed? (I'm not sure as I haven't kept up with our national level players...)
He won the tournament with his partner, using one of his classic jumpsmashes.
It was so amazingly powerful, and a treat to watch!

kelvin, it seem the canadian opens lost its luster after 1996. I think yonex is tired footing the bills for continuous poor attendance. It's really too bad.

Wasn't such a great event this one. Not as good as the All England..... but well done to R Hashim.......
Well, most of the top players were not there.
