Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen overcame a partisan home crowd and national number one Lee Zii Jia to clinch his second men’s singles crown in the Malaysia Masters badminton championships at the Axiata Arena here today.
The defeat, meanwhile, extended Zii Jia’s miserable record of having never won a single title on home ground. “I think Zii Jia might be slightly tired after playing a lot of matches over the last two weeks, but I still think he played a great game. Only in the second part of the third game, I feel he may have taken his foot off the pedal a little bit.
Axelsen walked away with the US$31,500 prize money as champion while runner-up Zii Jia pocketed US$15,960. . “Even if I were fit, there’s no guarantee I would have won because he is an experienced shuttler. I gave it my best today and, of course, I’m sad,” said Zii Jia, who suffered cramps in his quarter-final win over another Danish shuttler, Anders Antonsen, on Friday.
