PETALING JAYA: Olympics champion Viktor Axelsen has ended Lee Zii Jia's run in the Denmark Open.

Zii Jia had hoped to get better of the Dane again after his famous win in the All-England final in March but this time, he found Axelsen too hot to handle as he went down 19-21, 19-21 in 39 minutes in the quarter-finals in Odense on Friday.
