While Axelsen thwarted a second-game fightback from Kidambi Srikanth, 21-7 22-20, Intanon beat He Bingjiao for the first time in five matches, 21-15 21-14.
After a quick first game loss, local favourite Kidambi picked himself up and proved a feisty competitor. He had two game points at 20-18, but Axelsen refused to concede the advantage, and closed out the match in straight games.
“Now I can say that I have put the injury behind me,” said Axelsen.
