Throughout the tournament, Axelsen showcased his strong form, culminating in a decisive victory over China’s unexpected finalist, Lei Lan Xi, with a score of 21-9 21-12 in the final. "I’m very happy to win this tournament as you could see from my celebrations," Axelsen shared. "It’s one of those tournaments I haven’t won so to finally do it feels amazing."
Axelsen reflected on his performance, noting, “I kept a consistent level throughout the match, only a few mistakes at the start of the second game. All in all, I played an excellent final.”
Next up, Axelsen is set to compete at the Super 1000 VICTOR China Open 2024 this week, where he is the defending champion.
