Way to go..

I was watching the boring match between Aston Villa and Liverpool.
It was so boring I decided to turn to channel 80.
They are showing the Swiss Open mens final between Malaysia's Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong and Danish veterans Jens Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard Hansen.

Koo-Tan down Danish veterans to take the Swiss Open crown

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong again turned on the power to lift their third title in the inaugural Super Series this year, winning the Swiss Open crown in Basel yesterday.

They defeated Danish veterans Jens Eriksen-Martin Lundgaard Hansen 17-21, 21-16, 21-12 in the final of the fourth round of the Series and the victory came hot on the heels of their success in the prestigious All-England in Birmingham last week.

It was also their third win over the Danes. Kien Keat-Boon Heong were also the winners at the All-England and last year's Japan Open.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong have certainly taken world badminton by storm since they began their journey as a pair last October. They have made it to the final of every international tournament except for the Korean Open, which was the second round of the Super Series.

In their debut tournament as a pair at the Japan Open, they emerged as the runners-up. They went on to claim the gold medal in the Doha Asian Games gold medallists and were champions in the Malaysian Open, which was the season-opening tournament of the Super Series. They were the semi-finalists at the Korean Open.
