The Malaysian knows there is plenty of talk about his form, particularly after he fell in the first round of his home Malaysia Open, but he also accepts that he is a work in progress.

“I need to try to find– what can I say – a proper strategy that suits me, so I can play along with that strategy through my career. You can see Axelsen has already found his.
