Flandy/Eng Hian win Copenhagen Masters

JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia grabbed the men's doubles title at the
Copenhagen Masters badminton invitational event on Friday thanks
to Flandy Limpele and Eng Hian who beat compatriots Tony Gunawan
and Halim Heryanto 8-7, 5-7, 7-4, 5-7, 7-5 under a new scoring
system.

The new scoring system, consisting of seven points in five
sets, was first introduced in the World Junior Championships for
the Bimantara Cups in Guangzhou, China in November.

Satusports.com reported host player Peter Gade Christensen won
the men's singles after beating teammate Anders Boesen 7-4, 7-0,
7-5.

In the women's singles, Olympic champion Gong Zhichao of China
fought from behind to beat local hero Camilla Martin 4-7, 7-4, 7-
4, 8-7 in an Olympics rematch.

But Gong admitted that though Martin lost the final, she
had better form.

"I just committed fewer mistakes than her," said Gong as
