Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen won a morale-boosting win over younger compatriot Anders Antonsen for his first HSBC BWF World Tour title in over a year, at the Barcelona Spain Masters yesterday.
It was also Axelsen’s first win in nearly two years against the fast-rising Antonsen, who won the Indonesia Masters last month beating world No.1 Kento Momota in the final.
In women’s singles, Axelsen’s compatriot Mia Blichfeldt won the biggest title of her career, beating another Dane, Line Kjaersfeldt, in straight games. Korea, like Denmark, finished with two titles, while Chinese Taipei were triumphant in the men’s doubles.
