PETALING JAYA: Denmark’s two-time Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen proved that he still has the hunger to win titles when he captured the men’s singles crown in the Hong Kong Open.
World No. 2 Axelsen, who was competing in his first tournament since successfully defending his gold in the Paris Olympics last month, was a class above as he swept aside China’s surprise finalist Lei Lanxi 21-9, 21-12 in 44 minutes in a one-sided final at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Kowloon yesterday.
