The Danish No.1 then went on to face another Frenchwoman, No.7 seed Kara Lincou in the semi-finals & once again lost a third game tie-break before eventually winning 11-2 12-10 10-12 11-7 in 42 minutes.
The final pitted Møller against compatriot & No.3 seed Caroline Lyng in an all-Danish final. A tight first game went the way of the top seed who was able to carry the momentum throughout the final to claim a memorable & much deserved 29-minute victory.
