Axelsen proving to be a real tough nut to crack

Tough fight: Indonesia's Anthony Ginting in action against Denmark's Viktor Axelsen during the quarter-final match.

IT is hard to stop the Viktor Axelsen juggernaut as the Danish superstar once again found his way out of trouble to storm into the men’s singles semi-finals.

Indonesia’s Anthony Ginting tried his best to avoid a seventh successive defeat to the Olympic Games champion by taking the first game but Axelsen seemed to have an answer for any crisis and came out tops with a 18-21, 21-17, 21-12 win in 65 minutes.
