Tine Rasmussen vs Wang Yihan

Interview: Tine thought she played at a very high level, she makes her own points and sometimes this causes mistakes. Reporter asks "How does it feel to kill the last shuttle here in Odense?" Tine replies "I think it was her who put it wide wasn't it?"

Seems fitting Tine wins her first Danish Super Serie here in Odense, where danish writer Hans Christian Andersen wrote the fairy tale "Ugly Duckling". No doubt she can look in the water now and be content with what she sees...........
