Antonsen, Tai capture World Tour Finals titles
Print Edition
Top-ranked Tai Tzu-ying won a dramatic women’s World Tour Final in Bangkok yesterday, blocking reigning Olympic champion Carolina Marin’s bid for a hat-trick of titles in 3 weeks.
The all-Danish men’s singles final was equally nail-biting as Anders Antonsen denied Viktor Axelsen a third tournament win in three weeks. Marin beat the 26-year-old from Chinese Taipei two weeks in a row during the previous Thailand Open tournament finals but the Spaniard could not repeat the heroics, falling 21-14, 8-21, 19-21. Thailand has hosted three consecutive badminton tournaments in a bio-secure coronavirus bubble, without spectators, to guard against the pandemic. Axelsen, ranked fourth, lost the first game 16-21 but won the next two 21-5, 21-17 to become the only man to beat Axelsen in three weeks.
