For the final, their opponent was from Malaysia. It was also surprising that the Malaysian pair made it to the final of the Denmark Open. Like Lin Zhu and Ye Quan, this pair was also relatively new as they only started playing together a few months ago, and before the Denmark Open, their achievements were average.
That's why the commentators on TV kept saying that the two pairs that made it to the final were the real dark horses of the tournament, and it was difficult to predict who would come out victorious as today's match would be their first meeting.
Even Cheng Xiaojian wasn't too familiar with the new pair from Malaysia, and that's why he didn't give them too many pointers about their opponent's weaknesses. He only said that the Malaysian pair was still quite unstable, and they often made unforced errors during matches when they were under pressure. Hence, the coach asked them to keep putting pressure on the Malaysian pair during today's match.
