Axelsen continues to hold the edge
In a recent match at the Paris 2024 Games, reigning Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen once again showed his prowess on the court. Facing Israel’s Misha Zilberman in the final match of the day, Akkelson, who appeared to be at his peak, gave the four-time Olympic champion little room to maneuver. The rising Danish star dominated from the start and soon secured a 21-9 21-15 victory.
Akkelson, the clear favorite to win, will face Ireland’s Nhat Nguyen in the final group match. Nguyen’s performance was also impressive, which adds a fascinating look to their upcoming showdown.
