Rio Games gold medalists Ayaka Takahashi and Misaki Matsutomo lost in a rematch of last month's Olympic final on Sunday as Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl of Denmark got their revenge in a 19-21, 21-18, 21-12 win to claim the Yonex Open Japan.

The second-seeded Danes, ranked sixth in the world, were a game up in Rio before they surrendered five straight points from 19-16 in the final game as Takahashi-Matsutomo topped the podium.

Pedersen and Rytter Juhl were behind until midway through the second game at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, but were able to turn it around in the last two.
