JAKARTA - The 2021 BWF World Tour Finals tournament closed with the victory of the men's singles badminton player from Denmark, Viktor Axelsen, who defeated Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the last match session in Nusa Dua, Bali, Sunday.

The Tokyo Olympic gold medalist beat Kunlavut from Thailand in the final with a score of 21-12, 21-8 in 43 minutes.

"I was successful in implementing the best strategy for this match. I know that my opponent has extraordinary talent, so I tried to be patient with Kunlavut's game," said Axelsen after the match was over, reported by Antara, Monday, December 6.

Axelsen played without difficulty against Kunlavut. In the first game, Axelsen quickly locked the control of the match so that he could go far with a score of 21-12.

Then in the second game, Axelsen was more comfortable playing and more confident in executing attacks on Kunlavut. Victory was achieved by Axelsen easily after his opponent was helpless and exhausted.

"I'm happy to be able to win the title again through a match with a fast tempo. In the second game I controlled the opponent's game and scored a victory," he said.

Meanwhile, for Kunlavut, this match was very difficult for him because from the start it was difficult to get out of Axelsen's pressure.

"I played against an athlete who is very tenacious, he can control my game. I myself find it difficult to get out of pressure," Kunlavut said.

This 2021 WTF title also adds to Axelsen's title from the Indonesia Badminton Festival agenda, having previously won the Indonesia Open one week ago.
