It looks like Danish superstar Viktor Axelsen is truly back in form after a long injury break.
In his first match at the VICTOR Denmark Open 2025, the Dane showed an impressively high level against Chou Tien Chen. Axelsen won the match 21–19, 21–12 in front of a packed Jyske Bank Arena in Odense.
Next up is Yushi Tanaka from Japan. That match will be played tomorrow – along with the rest of the Round of 16 at the VICTOR Denmark Open.
