Lee Zii Jia had a chance to do what no player had done in the previous 26 matches – beat Viktor Axelsen. Having saved four match points in a remarkable late turnaround, and holding match point of his own, Lee found just how hard it has become for any player to break Axelsen. The Dane didn’t given an inch, and duly completed his fourth title of the season.
Since February 2020, Axelsen has lost just five matches in 23 completed events (excluding retirement/walkover). At the Indonesia Open, he picked up his seventh World Tour Super 1000 title from eight successive Super 1000 finals.
Since losing to Lakshya Sen in the semifinals of the German Open in March, Axelsen has dropped just four games in 27 matches.
