Axelsen back in action at Indonesian Open but it’s no-go for Pearly-Thinaah


Star attraction: Viktor Axelsen's return will certainly spice up the competition in Jakarta.

PETALING JAYA: It will be pure joy for great Dane Viktor Axelsen as he makes a return to the Indonesian Open but despair for Malaysian women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah as they won’t be part of the action.

Olympic champion Axelsen will finally get into the fray today after limping off during a clash with Lee Zii Jia when Malaysia took on Denmark during the Sudirman Cup quarter-finals last month in Suzhou, China.
