· DIANNE PIERRE
Among the list of incredible accomplishments for the Dane is one unique achievement that has never been attained, and may never be surpassed.
By qualifying for the Indonesia Open 2021 title match, the Olympic champion became the first-ever player to qualify for five HSBC BWF World Tour Super 1000 finals in a calendar year and with four triumphs to boot, the 27-year-old now has the record that could be the envy of many.
“I couldn’t have dreamt of a better year,” Axelsen said upon realising the magnitude of his terrific year following his victory over Loh Kean Yew at the Bali International Convention Centre yesterday.
