Viktor Axelsen vs Anders Antonsen: Match Prediction

Axelsen looks very strong at the moment and has been playing spectacular. His attack is sharp and strong and defence, impenetrable. Antonsen is also one among the aggressive attacking players who use power, height and reach to their advantage. It should be a very intense, close match with some powerful smashes, good netplay and long rallies.

Prediction: Viktor Axelsen wins.
