Indonesia Open: Kien Keat-Boon Heong fall tamely to Danish pair

Malaysia’s interest in the Indonesian Open Badminton Super Series Premier ended when Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong crashed out in the semi-finals with a limp display against Danish pair Carsten Morgensen-Mathias Boe.
After cruising into the last four, Kien Keat-Boon Heong finally came up against their first real test.
But the pair, who also lost tamely to the world No. 4 Danes in the World Superseries Finals last December, put up a similar disappointing effort to lose at 15-21, 11-21. Questions will once again be raised over their ability to win an Olympic medal.
Kien Keat, in particular, should be disappointed with his effort as he sat too deep in defence and allowed Boe to dominate the net.
The experienced Danes roared to an 11-6 lead in the first game as Kien Keat-Boon Heong looked simply uncomfortable and extended their lead to 17-12 before winning 21-15.
In the second game, Morgensen-Boe powered to an 11-4 lead before extending it further to 17-8.
They only allowed Kien Keat-Boon Heong another three points before sealing their first ever final appearance in the Indonesian Open with a score of 21-11 in just 35 minutes.
