KENNETH JONASSEN

National Authority: Denmark

Right/Left Handed: Right

World Ranking: Men's Singles #4

PROFILE:

A recent finals appearance in the Singapore Open in June shows that Kenneth Jonassen is on top of his game. His best year was in 2004 when he took both the Singapore and Dutch Open titles. A past winner of the 5 star Korea Open event (2003) and currently ranked in the world’s top 5, he will lead the charge for the European men’s singles category.

Making his first appearance at the MVP Cup, Jonassen will be facing difficult opposition on the Asian tam. He’s never beaten Taufik Hidayat or Lin Dan in eight attempts, so his work will be cut out for him. However, he’s just achieved the highest ranking of his career (world #4) and is playing some of the best badminton in the world.
