The Viking team's 3-2 win over the Indonesian team after Viktor Axelsen, Jan O Jorgensen and Hans-Kristian Vittinghus took all of three singles in the men's team this tournament.
"They did look nervous. They're less experienced than our players and it became a huge difference," said Denmark men's singles coach, Kenneth Jonassen after match.
In 29 th Thomas Cup tournament, Denmark bring 10th ranked players in the world, including a double Mads Conrad-Petersen / Mads Pieler Kolding and doubles specialist, Mathias Boe.

Meanwhile, Indonesian badminton legend, Rudy Hartono see Tommy Sugiarto, Anthony Ginting and Ihsan Mostofa less fierce when face his opponents.
"That does not give the resistance was not until the rubber set, anyway (should) game was tight," said Rudy, Sunday (22/5).
But he third excuse was a young player who's mentally not been trained in the finals were consequently not ready mentally.
"Look at all of the way they play. This is because the pressure in the final result, is actually normal mental burden. Not ready. As a young player, maybe for the first time in the final, shocked," said the former world number one.
"Almost experienced by all the players. He is young, not a senior, it means not yet tasted the experience of meeting opponents top. Maybe wait two to three years was, so that they can be more mature," added Rudy.

"In terms of playing technique, still lost. Missed continue (the point) our younger players. Tommy Sugiarto too. There is a chance, but there is a problem, say slipped, although he already leading, three points he managed to take. If the rubber set can be different that," said this world maestro's badminton.
Tommy had to surrender to Axelsen 17-21, 18-21, while Anthony Ginting also easily defeated Jan O Joergensen with 17-21 and 12-21. Ihsan M. Mustafa even too malleable Hans Kristian Vittinghus with 15-21 and 7-21.
"For Ihsan, the burden of mental seen yet. Yes, young players, new branded game world two years. Since losing the first single, chimed lose a second single. Second single defeat, chimed in a third single. Feeling intense pressure once," said Rudy.

1. Viktor Axelsen vs Tommy Sugiarto 21-17, 21-18 (54 minutes)
First game: Axelsen started the brighter of the two and had his nose in front for much of the game. Tommy kept within striking distance but only managed to save one game point before the young Dane powered ahead 21-17.
Second game: The more experience Tommy was fighting hard to keep his team in the game and surged ahead 13-8 and 18-15 as Axelsen looked a little jittery this time.
