Singles title’s for world No. 1 Axelsen to lose, says Rashid


Viktor the conqueror: No other player for now seems capable of stopping the Axelsen juggernaut in the World Tour Finals in Bangkok.

PETALING JAYA: The men’s singles challenge is expected to be a one-sided affair as the all-conquering Viktor Axelsen is expected to be just too strong for the field at the World Tour Finals which begins today.

Former international Datuk Rashid Sidek said, with the exception of 2021 world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore, no other player is capable of stopping the Axelsen juggernaut in Bangkok.
