Badminton Denmark Open finals line-ups are as follows:
Mixed Doubles Nathan Robertson – Gail Emms (ENG) vs He Hanbin – Yu Yang (CHN)
Men’s Singles Bao Chunlai (CHN) vs Lin Dan (CHN)
Men’s Doubles Jens Eriksen – Martin Lundgaard (DEN) vs Koo Kien Keat – Tan Boon Heong (MAS)
Women’s Singles Zhang Ning (CHN) vs Lu Lan (CHN)
Women’s Doubles Lee Hyo Jung – Lee Kyung Won (KOR) – Yang Wei – Zhang Jiewen (CHN)
Among the finals, I am most interested about the hard fight between world No.1 Lin Dan and his compatriot Bao Chunlai. ##CONTINUE##They will deliver a splendid match to the audiences. Who will be the winner? Whom do you support? I wish Bao beat the world champion for there must be someone in the national badminton team coming out to threaten him. Harder competitions push a nation or a team forward quickly.

It’s mere my will. Let’s analyze the possibility with facts. Bao outplayed four top badminton players in this tournament including Olympic champion Taufik, world No.2 Lee Chong Wei and Macau Open winner Chen Jin, showing that he is in his peak form. With his outstanding performance, anything is possible.
Lin Dan, on his end, entered into badminton MS final with few obstacles except from Dane Jonassen.
According to the BWF statistics, the two badminton players have fought for 18 times, with 13 victories and 5 defeats for Lin Dan. Bao has had only a won over Lin Dan in the last 10 matches. It occurred in the badminton China Open in October last year. The latest battle was ended with Bao’s failure in the Good Luck Beijing badminton event.
Will Bao make a break through world champion with his top mode? Or will Lin Dan continue to dominate his teammate?
The form below is the details about their battles. Lin Dan 13:5 Bao Chunlai

I have some suggestion for Bao Chunlai.
1. Bao should make a brief that beating Lin Dan is just like beat any other top players. That is, in psychology Bao should overcome the problems made by years of failure over Lin Dan.
2. Bao is more accomplished than Lin Dan in terms of badminton techniques. But Lin Dan is more aggressive with powerful strength. They are different types of shuttlers. Bao should take advantage of net play and be more patient to fight back to Lin Dan’s hard smash.
