PETALING JAYA: Returning to where it all began for Kenneth Jonassen could provide Malaysian shuttlers with the perfect boost ahead of the Thomas Cup Finals. The serene setting, free from distractions, is expected to help the players get into the right frame of mind ahead of the intense battles, especially for the Thomas Cup team. He brings vast experience, having represented Denmark as a player and a coach in several Thomas Cup campaigns. In the semi-finals, Jonassen went down to Indonesia’s Taufik Hidayat in the second singles, but Denmark still edged the tie 3-2.
