"It's amazing to think that I started playing badminton when I was (a) six year-old and I've always been dreaming about winning one of these titles, so it's crazy that I'm finally here," Antonsen told reporters after the historic win. "I've finally done it, I can't even describe how good it feels," the 21-year-old shuttler said.
Antonsen breezed to the final after defeating home's favorite and Asian Games gold medallist Jonatan Christie on Friday. Momota admitted the Dane had been playing extremely well since the beginning of the tournament. In the men's double, world number one doubles pair Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo also won the final after upsetting fellow Indonesian duo Muhammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan with 21-17 and 21-11.
