    VBD mbH Südstraße 25a 45470 Mülheim an der Ruhr Absender: Dr. Claudia Pauli Press Relations Officer YONEX German Open Waldbleeke 36 D-45481 Mülheim an der Ruhr Tel.: +49 (0)208 / 69 866 296 E-Mail: [email protected] Datum: 11.03.2018 YONEX German Open 2018 vom 06.03.2018 bis 11.03.2018 in Mülheim an der Ruhr DREI EROLGREICHE TITELVERTEIDIGUNGEN Bei den YONEX German Open Badminton Championships in Mülheim an der Ruhr (6. bis 11. März) haben in drei Disziplinen die Vorjahressieger ihren Titel erfolgreich verteidigt: Sowohl Chou Tien Chen aus Taiwan (Weltranglistenplatz 8; Setzplatz 4) im Herreneinzel und die Japanerin Akane Yamaguchi (Weltranglistenplatz 2; Setzplatz 1) im Dameneinzel als auch Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota (ebenfalls Japan; Weltranglistenplatz 4; Setzplatz 3) im Damendoppel trugen sich am Sonntag (11. März) zum insgesamt zweiten Mal nach 2017 bei dem für den Deutschen Badminton-Verband (DBV) bedeutsamsten Turnier in die Siegerliste ein. Während Chou Tien Chen in einem begeisternden Endspiel über 85 Minuten Ng Ka Long Angus aus Hongkong (Weltranglistenplatz 9; Setzplatz 6) mit 21:19, 18:21, 21:18 bezwang, setzte sich Akane Yamaguchi mit 21:19, 6:21, 21:12 gegen die Chinesin Chen Yufei (Weltranglistenplatz 8; Setzplatz 4) durch. Zu Beginn des sechsten und damit letzten Veranstaltungstags hatten die amtierenden Vizeweltmeisterinnen Yuki Fukushima/Sayaka Hirota einen 18:21, 21:14, 21:6-Erfolg über Huang Dongping/Yu Zheng aus China verbucht, die erst seit kurzer Zeit ein Damendoppel bilden. Das Endspiel im Herrendoppel war hinsichtlich der Spielzeit das kürzeste Match des Schlusstags: Takuto Inoe/Yuki Kaneko (Weltranglistenplatz 9; Setzplatz 6) benötigten 38 Minuten, um Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto aus Indonesien (Weltranglistenplatz 12; Setzplatz 7) mit 21:16, 21:18 zu besiegen.
