Axelsen’s withdrawal paves way for all-Chinese final


PETALING JAYA: Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen’s withdrawal from the last four of the Singapore Open has paved the way for Li Shifeng to set-up an all-Chinese men’s singles final with Shi Yuqi.

World No. 1 Axelsen was supposed to play world No. 6 Shifeng in a much anticipated semi-final match yesterday but was forced to concede a walkover after picking up an ankle injury.
