Jun Hao gets valuable lesson from mighty Dane

Unstoppable: Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen was just too good for Leong Jun Hao, winning 21-12, 21-11 in 41 minutes.

PETALING JAYA: Going up against world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen is always a daunting task, and national men’s singles shuttler Leong Jun Hao was well aware of the challenge in their Singapore Open quarter-final clash yesterday.

And the Malaysian world No. 36, as expected, could not get the better of the mighty Dane as he lost 12-21, 11-21 in 41 minutes.
