Koki Watanabe faces Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen

Shortest player met highest player.

Well, Axelsen was struggling in Japan and he is still struggling here. Really not at his best at the moment.

axelsen the king

Axelsen has been a bit sloppy lately. Though he won this game, he is not quite as clinical as he used to be. Not as sharp in his movements and his shots are not as crisp.
He needs to get his act together.

Having said that, the likes of LZJ, Li Shi Feng and Ginting can really take advantage of this situation. Get in there and dominate.

Well played Watanabe.

I'd like to see the "fabulous" rally, not just the ball flying out the court.

Koki was playing super nice, could defend Viktor's smashes quite good.

koki watanabe played SO SO well against viktor axelsen ! come back stronger koki! congrats viktor ! 🤝🤝 WHAT A MATCH! can’t wait to see more h2h matches frm them !

good show match, i guess. . .

Downfall of Viktor lol, He ain’t winning another world champ or Olympic champ, his body not like before, lol before Koki would be thrashed 21-4

I feel like it’s an unpopular opinion but Axelsen has a better BH smash than LZJ

166 cm vs 194 cm?

I feel like VA's composure is affecting his focus

I like Axelsen, but we are bored with his dominance. We need next yung stars to compete with him.

Why does only court 1 have this good camera angle and quality?
