6 years of victory, horror, the number one enemy of the national feather! A new star and he have not yet fought each other, becoming a big suspense
Japanese Badminton Masters Axelsen defeated Chinese star Shi Yuqi 2:0 to successfully win the men's singles championship and achieve 8 consecutive victories against Shi Yuqi. Incredibly, in the past 6 years, Axelsen has maintained a winning record with the current first-line players of the national feather men's singles, and there is no second active badminton master who can do this, there is no doubt that Axelsen is not only the first person in the men's singles today, he is also the number one thorn in the side of the national feather.
Axelsen and Shi Yuqi have an all-time head-to-head record of 8-1, with the first meeting between the two sides coming at the Tour Finals at the end of 2017, when Shi Yuqi won the first meeting, but the Dane has since sent him an eight-game losing streak. As the current national feather men's singles first-line main force, Weng Hongyang and Lu Guangzu have not yet tasted the taste of binding the dragon, Lu Guangzu lost all 6 games, and Weng Hongyang and Axelsen lost the only meeting with a disparity of 12:21 and 8:21.
In the last three seasons, Axelsen has been the undisputed No. 1 badminton men's singles player, winning 6 and 8 singles titles in 2021 and 2022 respectively, with 6 losses and 4 abstentions. Axelsen's form has declined a bit this season, and due to injuries, the number of losses and waivers has increased significantly, reaching 7 games, but he has won 6 titles this year, has been ranked first in the world, and Olympic points will rise to 1st this week, proving that he is still the number one player in men's singles today.
It is worth mentioning that Axelsen has been ranked No. 1 in the world since November 3, 2021, and his world ranking score is more than 15,000 points higher than the current second-ranked Indonesian master Ginting, which shows his strength.
Axelsen appears to be a wall in front of him for the men's singles players, with his most recent defeat coming in late 2019 when Chen defeated the Danes in the Tour Finals. However, it has been more than two years since Chen Long retired, and the last time the active national player defeated Axelsen was Shi Yuqi at the end of 2017 in the Tour Finals, which is almost 6 years!
However, there is a news point here, Li Shifeng and Axelsen have not yet had a record of confrontation, can "Master Li" draw this embarrassing end to the national feather men's singles?
