I will need a bit of time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, he shared to media that he wanted more. \u201cI have lost two times before in the semifinals. That\u2019s already a good reason,\u201d Lanier joked. His aim was to reach the final and \u201calso to win the title at some point\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since becoming world champion, Lanier has embraced the pressure of being the player others are chasing. \u201cWhen you win the world title, everyone wants to beat you,\u201d he said. \u201cI also tried a few months ago to put myself in that situation, that I\u2019m hunting everyone, and I\u2019m also trying to impose my game, but impose also mentally that I\u2019m strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than shy away from the attention, he said he appreciated opponents bringing their best. \u201cIt\u2019s even tougher for me,\u201d he said, \u201cand definitely I also enjoy the quality of the matches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lanier called being the man to beat \u201ca good spot to be\u201d. It forces him to adapt, he said: \u201cYou have to find solutions. You have to also put yourself in different situations. You need to find some new keys, new tools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lanier will face home hero Anders Antonsen in the final. The Dane defeated Christo Popov 9-21 21-16 21-13 to reach his third Denmark Open final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>History Beckons An<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Se-young is one win away from surpassing Indonesian legend Susi Susanti as the women\u2019s singles player with the most international titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An defeated Nozomi Okuhara 21-16 21-8 in the semifinals to move within one victory of her 47th title, which would take her past Susanti\u2019s tally of 46 (excluding Regional Games).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m pleased with the result,\u201d An said. In the first game, I really couldn\u2019t control the shuttle. I need more practice after this interview,\u201d she giggled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to think about records just yet, obviously I just keep my focus on the next match. I want to keep improving for my next match.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standing between An and a place in the history books is Akane Yamaguchi, who beat Wang Zhi Yi 21-10 21-19 in the other semifinal. An leads their head-to-head 23-15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan defeated Bao Lijing-Cao Zihan 21-16 21-14 to reach their third Super 750 women&#8217;s doubles final.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just wanted to just enjoy the matches here in the Denmark Open. We just returned from the Asian Games for one week and flew to Denmark so we really just wanted to give it our best,\u201d said Thinaah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SEMI-FINAL RESULTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Men\u2019s singles:<\/strong> Alex Lanier (Fra) bt Victor Lai (Can) 21-19, 21-10; Anders Antonsen (Den) bt Christo Popov (Fra) 9-21, 21-16, 21-13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Men\u2019s doubles:<\/strong> Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik (Mas) bt Kim Won-ho-Seo Seung-jae (Kor) 21-14, 21-18; Fajar Alfian-Muhammad Shohibul Fikri (Ina) bt Liang Weikeng-Wang Cheng (Chn) 21-16, 16-21, 21-16<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Women\u2019s singles:<\/strong> Akane Yamaguchi (Jpn) bt Wang Zhiyi (Chn) 21-10, 21-19; An Se-young (Kor) bt Nozomi Okuhara (Jpn) 21-16, 21-8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Women\u2019s doubles:<\/strong> Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan (Mas) bt Bao Lijing-Cao Zihan (Chn) 21-16, 21-14; Hinata Suzuki-Nao Yamakita (Jpn) bt Sumire Nakade-Miyu Takahashi (Jpn) 21-18, 18-21, 21-18<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mixed doubles:<\/strong> Jiang Zhenbang-Wei Yaxin (Chn) bt Cheng Xing-Zhang Chi (Chn) 17-21, 21-12, 21-13; Feng Yanzhe-Huang Dongping (Chn) bt Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing (Mas) 21-13, 21-13<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Lanier is through to his first Denmark Open badminton championships final after defeating Victor Lai 21-19, 21-10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[75],"class_list":["post-16770","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","tag-badminton"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.3 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Alex Lanier is through to his first Denmark Open badminton championships final after defeating Victor Lai 21-19, 21-10 on his third attempt to get his hands on the trophy in Odense.
