State of form
Frenchman Christo Popov recently distinguished himself on the international circuit by winning the German Hylo Open (Super 300) against his brother Toma Junior Popov. This is the second title that Christo Popov has won this year after winning a tournament of the same caliber earlier this year in Saarbrücken, also in Germany. Opposed to the Indonesian Farhan during his first round here in Japan, the world No. 25 did not hang around to win his match in 2 sets (21-13 21-16). His second round promised to be much more complicated against world No. 8 Chou Tien Chen against whom he had never won before. The Frenchman continued to ride his winning momentum by winning in 3 sets and signing an incredible end to the game with 9 points in a row while he was trailing 18-12 in the 3rd set (10-21 21- 14 21-18).
Sick during his last appearance on the world stage, Viktor Axelsen was forced to retire during the break in the middle of the 2nd set against Alex Lanier during his second round in front of his fans in Denmark. Falling back to second place in the world, the Dane proved that he still had all his potential by winning a new gold medal this year, dominating the Thai Vitidsarn during the final at the end of a course in which he did not lose no sleeve. Although he played little on the circuit this year, he won 3 titles by winning the Malaysian Open and the Hong Kong Open in addition to the Olympic Games. An easy winner over Tzu Wei Wang in his first round here in Japan, the Dane then came back from a one-set deficit against the Chinese Lei Lan Xi to finally reach the quarter-finals.
