Regaining his form, men’s badminton world number one Viktor Axelsen won his
eighth title of 2022 with ease in Sunday’s World Tour Finals in Bangkok,
Thailand, defeating Indonesia’s Anthony Ginting. After China backed out of
hosting the tournament due to its strict Covid restrictions, the Badminton
World Federation relocated its $1.5 million flagship event to the Nimibutr
Arena in Thailand’s capital.
The defending champion Axelsen looked rejuvenated, at ease, full of energy,
and in complete command as he breezed to a 21-13 victory in the opening
game.
