Denmark's Jan Oe. Joergensen beat Hu Yun of Hong Kong, China, 21-12, 21-11 to retain the men's singles title at the Copenhagen Masters badminton tournament on Friday.

The 24-year old Dane played his semifinal on Thursday night while Hu had been through a hard fought three sets match against Joergensen's compatriot Viktor Axelsen earlier on Friday to reach the final.

That strain had clearly taken its toll on 31-year-old Hu, who was powerless to stop Joergensen steamrollering his way to another Copenhagen Masters crown.

Joergensen came to the tournament as the title favorite as he beat Peter Gade in last years' final. Now sporting a Jim Morrison- tattoo on his right shoulder, the world No. 11th continued his development and looked comfortable and in complete control of the game.

It was a very equal start to the match though, with both players making unforced errors and the score was tied on 7-7. Both players made some points from hard smashes, wrongfooting their opponent.

Leading by 11-9, Joergensen was urged by coach Lars Uhre to attack the forehand of Hu as that was supposedly his weaker side. Joergensen cruised to 17-11 as Hu was punished several times for laying the ball too high.

The second set started brightly for local favorite Joergensen as he drove his opponent around the court with a mixed arsenal of shots, taking an 8-0 lead before Hu was allowed his first point of the set. Joergensen was extremely quick to get on the offensive and put maximum pressure on Hu.

As play went on the superiority of Joergensen became all the more visible and the Dane never looked back as he won the second set 21-11.

Joergensen has now won the Copenhagen Masters title a total of three times.

In the mixed doubles final, the Danish pair Christinna Pedersen and Joakim Fischer Nielsen made it three Copenhagen Masters titles in a row when they defeated Thai duo Sudket Prapakamol and Saralee Thoungthongkam in straight sets, 21-19, 21-17.

In the men's doubles, the odds changed dramatically when Mathias Boe was forced to pull out of the final due to a flu. Carsten Mogensen had to call upon Mads Pieler Kolding as his new partner to face another Danish pair, Mads Conrad-Petersen and Rasmus Bonde.

Conrad-Petersen and Bonde capitalized on the lack of understanding between their opponents and won the first set 21-19.

However, Mogensen and Mads Kolding gradually found common chemistry and rallied to win the second and third sets 21-16, 23- 21, winning the Copenhagen Masters title 2-1.
