Koo Kien Keat & Tan Boon Heong will take on world no.1 double pairing in the world from Denmark, Mathias Boe & Carsten Mogensen at the Yonex All England badminton championship 2011.

On paper, the Danish pairing of Mathias Boe & Carsten Mogensen is the clear favorites but based on passed records, the Malaysian pairing will be the favorites to win this match.

If the Malaysian take the all out attacking approach against the Danish pairing, I am pretty sure the Malaysian will come out tops. Sometimes i just couldn’t understand the tactics used by the Malaysian as they tend to be defensive especially when they are leading. If the Malaysian attacked more often then defend, they will surely win many more major tournaments.

Can the Malaysian stop the hottest badminton pairing in the world from Denmark? A fast and furious match is on the cards. Make sure you do not miss this match!
