Vanquished Viktor out to seek redemption at Malaysian Masters


Slip-up: Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen fails to return a shot to Taiwan’s Chou Tien-chen during their quarter-final match.

CHENGDU: Expect an ‘‘angry’’ Viktor Axelsen to come out firing in the Malaysian Masters from May 21-26 at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil.

The world No. 1 singles shuttler has not managed to match the high standards that he has set for himself so far this year and suffered another blow when he was part of the Danish team that went down 1-3 to Taiwan in the last eight of the Thomas Cup Finals at the Hi-Tech Zone Sports Center in Chengdu on Friday.
