World No. 1 Viktor Axelsen announced that his family will be expanding as his wife is expecting their second child and there’s now an additional motivation for the Danish giant to keep making his strong and towering presence felt in the badminton world.
Yesterday, Axelsen oozed class when he demolished Youcef Sabri Medel in 20 minutes with a 21-9, 21-11 win to give Denmark the first point in the Group B tie.“A lot of things have changed for me since my last trip to Bangkok here for the Thomas Cup . I am a father now, and expecting our second child. So much has happened outside of the court,” said the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games champion.“I’m still here today, hungry for more.’’“The Thomas Cup is always hard to predict.
Denmark have been one of the most consistent teams since winning their first Cup in 2016. They showed the depth in their team by reaching the semi-finals in the last two editions in Bangkok and Aarhus.
