The curtain fell on third day of the 2024 Badminton European Championships held in Saarbrücken (Germany). Men’s and women’s singles matches, as well as mixed doubles will take center stage on this day-3. Little satisfaction in Italy, given the elimination in the second round of Giovanni Toti. The Italian (n.71 in the ranking) surrendered to the Finn Joakim Oldorff (n.68 BWF) with the score of 21-14 16-21 21-19. A very tight match decided on just a few points.
The adventure of the two Danes continues Viktor Axelsen and Anders Antonsen, respectively n.1 and n.2 of the seeding. Axelsen had no difficulty getting rid of the German Kai Schaefer (n.81 BWF) with the score of 21-12 21-12. Again in two sets, Antonsen (no. 4 in the ranking) won against the Spaniard Luis Enrique Penalver 21-16 24-22.
Among the women, few surprises. The No. 1 seed in the draw, the Spanish Carolina Marindominated against the Scotswoman Rachel Sugden (n.176 in the ranking): 21-6 21-7 the score in favor of the Iberian, decidedly convincing. Same story, same sea for the two Danes Mia Blichfeldt and Line Kjærsfeldt (n.2 and n.3 of the seeding): the former defeated the English 21-16 21-8 Freya Redfearn (n.132 in the ranking) with a score of 21-16 21-8; the second always prevailed in two sets 21-13 21-10 against the Luxembourg team Kim Schimdt (n.122 BWF).
In conclusion in the mixed doubles challenges, the Danes Christiansen/Boeje they had an easy time in the round of 16 against the Swedes Axelson/Silvennoine, given the score of 21-9 21-14. In the quarter-finals they will face the English Elis/Smith who won against the French Lalot-Trescarte/Jacob 21-6 21-9. Denmark which confirms itself as the reference par excellence for this discipline, given the successes of Thyrri/Magelund against the Dutch van der Lecq/Tirtosentono by 21-16 21-14 and by Toft/Graversen opposed to the English Hemming/Van Leeuwen by 18-21 21-13 21-17.
