This Denmark Open was fantastic. I enjoy every final match, doubles or singles, the tension kept me on edge. Many thanks to the athletes for providing us such breathtaking scenes.
Kento footwork is so on point and that's one of the reasons why he's so good at covering the court even he's small and play patiently with his splendid stamina.
175 cm is small? Lin Dan is 178cm and LCW 172, I would say there are less tall players, only good ones being Viktor, Chen Long, LZJ at the momtent.
Great to see that Momota is slowly but steadily getting back to his 2019 form.
Exactly. Hope he will get better & better, slowly but surely. The coach and team must also focus on his mental strength. All the best to Kento Momota for next tournament 💪 Btw just like the commentators said actually this is an advantage for Victor to win because of Momota condition (still in the progress to getting back to his top form because of the injury and so on). Despite that Victor still have to play rubber set with Momota.
Might take another 3 to 6 months to gain back the physical fitness for Momota.
Offcource axcelsen win the match , he got everything out there, but brilliant display played by mamota, mamota you still the greatest player.
Yeah
« Slowly » = final of a super 1000 tournament ? 😅
I thought Viktor would be taking the 1st game when he was 14-7 up in the game, but the turnaround brutally happened.
When Momota was 17-14 up in the 2nd game, I thought he was winning the match, but Viktor showed his mentality to level the match.
In the deciding game, honestly, I was afraid of the same thing would happen when Viktor was 14-7 up, but thankfully this time, Viktor capitalised it.
Finally, congrats to Viktor on continuing his winning streak and also it’s good to see Momota is getting better and better after the car accident.
Same
But this drained momota a lot!
Congrats 2 both champions yep Momota is getting back his form but Axelsen is oso improving by leaps n bounds n almost unbeatable,wat a wonderful match n sportmanship!
Momota step up the gear at 7-14
You have a poor sense of judgement and too quick to judge.
This is a clear example of what Fitness is all about..What a final match..Salute to both players..Fantastic representation of mental strength,fitness and game concerntration..Great example for all other players including amateurs
Viktor is difficult to beat when he is consistent. Back in the day, he use to show frustration and just lose points. His angles are something else.
You can’t beat him by just bringing ball down.
Complete player is the answer
東京オリンピックらへんから不調って思われてた桃田さんがここまで試合感やメンタル等を修正して、確実にあの頃の桃田さんに戻ってゆく中で、アクセルセンもまた世界ランキング一位だった頃の実力以上のものを身につけての今回の2019年以来の再戦！結果がどうであれめちゃくちゃ感動しました！桃田賢斗選手ありがとう！いつまでも応援しています！次は優勝！！！
This is worth match of the year (unofficially). Solid defensive play from Momota almost ended up 20+ win on any tournament from Axelsen, but once again, Axelsen showed up that he is worth Olympic Gold Medal.
Congratulations for both players for showing us incredible match.
Kento is almost back! Congratulations Viktor!!
He’s back !! It was a close match
@@kasperrieberg3495 Not yet, that was still not the Momota from 2019 but he is getting there.
Yes.... Hopefully Kento Momota ranking will go up and up.
He will be back for next tournament. Walcome back king kento momota.
@@TgfkaTrichter
Maybe not !? Bit you must not forget that Axelsen has gotten so much better and stronger the last 2 years
Some people are not recognising that Axelsen has improved. He is incredibly hard to beat at present.
Get that name right
Pay some respect
Mostly momota's fanboys.
He has only lost 2 games in 2021, and is on a current 25 games winning stream
They said momota still not in his top form...dude other player are improving..
@@Farhan-hh6fl yeah momota is clearly going down the hill, it's hard to find back his peak form as he is aging like everyone else.
Let battle commence; well done Victor, what a year.
この2人の戦いを観るのはほんとにワクワクする。
It's really hard to beat Axelsen at the moment he's really really amazing
Yes, he is the successor for lin dan!
@@pekkweeloh3507 Yes hopefully
@@pekkweeloh3507 Win a couple more world titles, and then we'll see.
@@pekkweeloh3507 no. Lin Dans record and domination will be unmatched for quite some time. Momota showed a similar display in 18/19 but was denied the Olympics.
@@KeithHiew agree, it’s too early and premature to say. Their achievements are no where near LD’s at the moment.
great match!!
congrats to Viktor Axelson!!
Momota is getting back 2019 form.
come back strong!!
Almost 😆
Yes indeed‼️l hope🙏🙆😍
I am hoping not to see him start from qualifier
Everyone says golden era is dead with LD, LCW, PG and TH, but what we see here is the future and also two legends worthy of that status. Hats off to both and heres to more quality battles and finals
PG is not anywhere near this level
@@kimjensen6606 kento is nowhere near LD and LCW
If Axelsen wins the 2021 French Open or plays in the final against any player except Momota, then he will become world number one once again.
Axelsen has not lost a match since his All England defeat to Zii Jia. He on fire 🔥
Respect for kento momota fight till the end
That return-shot by Axelsen to Momota was epic and precedented.
Utmost respect for both players wholeheartedly applauding each other on the podium, two warriors fighting to the finish. Fantastic match!
Congratulations Axelsen. The only title for Denmark
Amazing job by Viktor and the crowd. Well done! 😀👍
Axelson is excellent in his stamina, like he wont feel any tiredness in any match. Momota is superb on his mentality, he still remain calm and play until last point for the oppenent to win💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Can see that Momota is getting better. He should have finished the game from 17-14 but Axelsen seemed to be better mentally and for some reason physically towards the end. Nice effort from both players!
Axelson mental and stamina is literally crazyyy he smashes all the way of his shots without keeping anything but still able to focus and not seem to be tired just WOW
2 words .... VA Health
Momota just relaxed little bit too much at 17-14 and lost his focus in which he made some ridiculous misjudge on the landing of the shuttle. Mentally, Momota still have not recovered yet.
Momota made some bad misjudgments near the end of the 2nd set which proved costly. He decided not to play the shuttle when it was clearly in. Shocking !
@@pham1020 yeah I agree. Mentally he is still missing something
One of the best Men's Singles match on this year 2021.
Sure was !
Viktor is something else now a days
momota almost there . he just need to improve his fitness 👍🏻 glad to see him back after the accident . cograts to axelsen too
WELL DESERVED WIN FOR VIGGO. After 7 years of waiting.. the man finally did it. Seems like we're about to welcome the new era. Go, Viktor!
Give credit where it's due. The Axelsen of today is a far better player than 2018/19. There's no guarantee the Momota of 2018/19 will be able to beat Axelsen on current form. Lin Dan n LCW were from another planet n it's impossible to compare them with others.
Lin Dan was from another planet you mean...
@@PritPachu I think 2019 Momota would have won this. It is not that Victor is bad, but peak Momotas playstlye is really hurting Axelsen. Every player has match ups, that he doesn't like. Momota is a terrible match up for Victor, but while back in 2019 Momota was often able to beat Victor without bringing his A game, now I think he must bring it and I also don't think, that he can't do this over the course of a 3 set match.
Lin Dan defenitely outclassed LCW, you can not comparing big game player to superseries collector, it just plain dumb.
@@TgfkaTrichter But axelsen back then lost so many game againt other player too not only to momota but now axelsen has improved a lot
@@diramoti7490 so do u think to win superseris were easy thing for the player??u are dumb right now I think
This is the one of the longest MS matches I've seen. Both players surely hurt physically. I wonder if they will be fit for French Open next week.
I was thinking the same. Also, both of them competed in Thomas cup just last week reaching the semis. Surely they need some rest after this.
no, what is rest? viktor should get as many titles as he can while he is still dominating, kento momota did that when he was dom in 2019 and got alot of money. Atheletes do not need more than a week of rest otherwise they may be inconsistent. One week is just perfect.
@@alphaomega9387 Geez what a butt-hurt post. But whatever, they don't even get a week of rest here, it's next week. They start up the day after tomorrow or tomorrow depending on where you live... the 26th
@@leenpels7646 Up to him, he could chose not to participate or be like chen long too, that man doesnt even compete in any tournaments right now and still able to get a silver medal in tokyo olympics.
The schedule kill their body. Worry about who can fit at last. Looks like it survival battle. So sad ginting jojo and shiyuqi got injury. What if they dont have enough time to recover. As for now zi jia momota n viktor still fit. Hopefully can fit until world championship. May all the shuttlers in the world be in a good condition💪💪💪💪
Much respect for both players 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
世界ランキング1位とはいえ2ヶ月前はオリンピック初戦敗退してたコンディションからここまで戻せたって考えると今後が楽しみでしかない
とにかく凄く良い試合だった､､､
おめでとうビクター！！🇩🇰🎉
Finally Viktor u won against Momota after 7years+ congratulations champion🏆 also congrats for ur all time winning streak
Btw Momota and axelson rivalry is similar to LCW and LD 😂🤣(altho both won the major before)
And both are currently the best player with a whole different level above the other (imo) just like LD and LCW in their prime years.
@@badmintongod72 ya the current top2 and both achieve num1 too
@@badmintongod72 I don't think Ginting and lzj are that much far behind them. given that lzj recently beat both of them recently too
@@Thelegendarytrinity both ginting and lzj still below them in term of skills, spirit, and cosistency (imo) it literally very clear in my eyes that both axelsen and momota are a whole different level above others. No offense tho, my fav ms player actually are ginting and lzj 🤣 their explosiveness sure very exciting to watch 👌🏻
@@Thelegendarytrinity agreed i will also take Anders and Jonathan if chen long is still playing i will take him too but ig not
that.. is... art on field 😍❤️
Congrats to Axelsen 👏🏆
From +62 🇲🇨
World No.1 vs Olympic Champion, what a match 😍😍
Great to see both players performing well. A Momota getting sharper and sharper and also a more determined Axelsen. Great match.
What a thrilling match! Both played really well. Congratulations to Axelsen! 🏸 🥇
You have to be super fit to beat Momota and Axelsen wasn't fit enough before. Now he is and he will be hard for Momota to beat him in the future but they will give us some fantastic games
He unbeatable now....he will be Denmark legends player.
Just like his name viktor, congratulation for the victory viktor, great game
Momota is back with good perform now.. this final just 3rd set Momota slowdown his footwork and tired to recovery and Victor Axelsen easy to control this match.. Victor Axelsen is superb..
Pahadi channel did a poll asking fans who will win. Looking at how axelsen play, i could tell he would win. So i voted for him. Only 33% voted for him. 69% i think must be indonesian fans voted for kento.
Yeah right.
Actually i think most countries(especially Asians) except Denmark voted for Momota and actually the gap is even higher at first i think like 20+ to 70+ well he has a lot of fans on the whole world😂🤣
@@patrickjones1143 you really talk nonsense do you? You never considered that momota actually nearly won?
Best match of the year
Sure was
Good game momota and axelsen. Congrats viktor!😁
Epic final
Beautiful game
Applause
0:01 what a shot ! 1:28 Quick reflexes 4:00 shade of CTC with that one legged jump smash 4:19 sharp Cross Court smash to win the match. Nicely done !
I always thought Momota had the superior fitness. I guess Viktor caught up in that department... Great match! And Seeing the Top players tired nowadays just reminds me of how much a monster lin dan was. I have never seen him tired or out of breath, not even when he was playing at the age of 36
Viktor is at the form of his life and Momota steady but surely is gaining his 2019 form back. Their upcoming battles will be a must see
@hbomb6421 Now, maybe this is the match that brings him downwards due to back injury
it's a good thing momota played against axelsen in the final.
good for the audience as they gibe outstanding performance.
good for axelsen, there are no player he wants to beat other than momota.
good for momota, as he found an opponent which he is forced to play his best, and as a result his form is getting better and better.
Well done two players .they already given good performance .. we enjoy the games
Victor Axelsen is simply the best MS player right now.
Bukan cuma skill yang bagus dari Viktor Axelsen,attitude nya juga sangat bagus 👍. selamat Viktor 👏
I think if LZJ vs Momota in the finals, Momota would have won two sets straight. Axelsen remained calm and tried few methods on how to defeat Momota in the 3rd set. Axelsen deserves the win!
Congrats to both players!! It's so nice to see that momota is slowly getting back his 2019 form. Hope to see both of you in the French open 2021 finals😉😉
Awesome game . Congrats to Viktor.
Kento... getting close to 2019 form, but still needs to improve his focus. I was thinking if he could beat Viktor again today, that would be the mental springboard to get him "officially" back to his 2019 self, because of Viktor's own white-hot form at the moment. 17-14 in the second game and in all honesty, was doing all the right things to keep Viktor at arm's length. His defence was working. His net shots were good. He was patient, just waiting for Viktor to make the errors in some of the long rallies. Gone were the meaningless, unthreatening clears he's played so often recently against the likes of Heo Hwang Hee. Every clear was at the right height, that would make Viktor run to get to, but couldn't attack outright. He was using the dead zone hits to good effect, and just at the moment Morten Frost suggested in commentary that he should "whack" some of the attacking shots, he did it, and Viktor had no real answers.
And then for some reason his focus goes out the window at 17-15. Needlessly lost the second game by winning only one point of the last seven of that game, and the confidence goes.
If I were his coach, I'd give him the encouragement that he obviously still KNOWS how to beat Viktor but needs to keep it one point at a time. That's important moving forward.
I agree with you, he should keep playing rally in the second set rather than keep hitting the gas for the kill, but, nonetheless, this will be a good experience for momota because I never knew he will be this good after playing poorly since the olympic, rather than feeling disappointed, I feel happy that he lose because from there he will rise up again to be the best again ☺️
I thought it was very shocking how he made 5 misjudgments that ended up costing him the 2nd set. It seemed like he was looking for easy free points. The 5 that he misjudge were clearly in.
@@AgentJ2007 Yes, I agree with this too
Well said ! This match should’ve been Momota’s if it weren’t for his misjudgments but nevertheless it was a very great match ! I’m very happy to see him almost back at his greatest form :)
So sad 😥, tp Momota ttp mng dihati rakyat Asia (MALAYSIA) 😍👍💪, congrats 👍🇲🇾🇯🇵
Bntr lagi balik kek dlu lagi seperti sebelum kecelakaan 😎
Now the era for axelsen, no one can't stop him !!!!!
I see a smooth celebration by Victor when he win this title compared to how he enjoyed after he beat LZJ at quarter-final.
RIGHT
He was probably too exhausted after this match.
The match with lzj was a tight game, it's different.
Because LZJ looks like a big monster in his eyes.
@@ahhu4902 hahaha..
Victor uses his height to his full advantage. He kills all the high shots with sharp cross court smashes.
Congratz to Viktor.. what a game.. Left Hand Vs Right Hand..
Hope to see Momota rule the world again! Greet from Malaysia!
Amazing fight comeback from Victor.
He deserve it..
Man I'm glad to see Momota gradually coming back now
未だかつて無いほどに、桃田にも優勝して欲しいけどアクセルセンにも優勝して欲しいと思うシチュエーションだった…
わかります
2ゲーム目で桃田が点差を広げた時が一番複雑でした()
アクセルセンさんおめでとうございます🎊🎉それでもやっぱり桃田選手の優勝を願っていました‼️😢😢😢
Mamota played very well but Axelsen played it even much better.That's the big difference.
The best victor come back and winner the tournament 🇩🇰 2021
Victor still too good now. Momo will need some fancy tools like ginting and his fitness back to take Victor for a ride
His smash unstoppable dudee
Viktor axelses dan Kento Momota permainannya sangat luar biasa, ketenangan dan kontrol bolanya masih jauh diatas tunggal putra yang lainnya.
What a game!!! I'm Momota fan, but akselsen deserved 🔥
congratulations VA!
K.momota...regrettable...😭
we believed your winning...😭
but VA was too stronge!
their game score was counted km 14win-VA3win😢
Momota is already on his peak but this year Victor Axelson was on his prime......there is only 2 player that beat him this year which is Lee Zii Jia and Anders antonsen
Momota is already on his peak? What do you mean by that?
No, if he didn't get Covid and Japan didn't do a strict lockdown then maybe. Covid can be really detrimental to your lungs.
@@patrickjones1143 I am not saying Victor not good, I like Victor and see his improvement over the years. I am just disagreeing with the comment that Momota has reach his peak. Did u even read my earlier comment?
Momota definely not on his peak yet.
Incredible fight...I wonder if I have ever seen so physical a match with multiple rallies over 40 shots before. Momota's rhythm is amazing and he is not the best match-up for Viktor as he reads Viktor's game better than all the other players. However, Viktor solved the puzzle in the end by daring to make the feints and increasing the pace when it mattered the most. He just cannot allow himself to be passive and predictable. I hope we can get this kind of match again :)
Axelsen is no doubt ms world no 1...the consistency of his performance is different level
Momota almost make japan triumph at Denmark with 4 title but what a great performances from Viktor
Victor Axelsen the best performance
💪👍❤⏳❤👍💪
Viktor from Denmark claimed Victory at Victor Denmark Open
What a match! Congrats Victor.
Damn, congrats Viktor, i knew it was only a matter of time!
Amazing game by both, this final was so much fun to watch!
GG WP! 👍👏
Both players is superb.. 👍👍
i think momota back with more stronger just that axelsen is hard to againts
Congratulations to Axelsen ! Axelsen passes the final test and beats Momota to win the Denmark 🇩🇰 open final. Axelsen is definitely the current best men’s singles player. Momota is slowly regaining his 2019 form. In the 2nd set Momota made about 5 misjudgments, undoubtedly costing him match.
3 misjudgements in a row in the 2nd set really affect Momota’s mentality
I agree. Momota could have won if he played those 3-4 shots. Even though Momota lost this match but you can see he almost got back to where he was before the accident.
@@KevinCao2011 Let's see in French Open... They are on different level from 3rd rank and below...
Good job to victor for turning the second match around 🥳
Both are the best players
Those who top form during the match will win
Viktor belum terkalahkan oleh sesiapa tahun ini... tahniah idola kepada LZJ..tapi, aku lebih suka Momota sedari 4 tahun dulu, dia pernah kemalangan, namun bangkit kemudian menjadi juara dunia
Viktor is consistent no matter how is his opponents... With his height advantage its hard to save or defend any smash from Viktor. Currently the possibility biggest challenge might given by LZJ from Msia if he training harder to revolve.
great see kento - san got his confident a litle bit again
What a good game...may these battle for many many more years..like the Lin dan LCW era
The king momota almost back in top perfom,,
Congrats Victor,,
Kento Momoto keeps losing how is he still World number 1
Because they froze the rankings due to the Covid lockdown... Idk for how long a time they froze it but it seems like forever lol.
A historic game I would say.
great final , congrats victor ,
From the way Axelsen celebrate for every winning match, I think LZJ is his real challenger in his mind, follows by Momota.
Axelsen not …son
Pay some respect
Nah because the third set is already over early so he already knows the results but when playing lzj the point is only 2points dif

2人とも強さレベチ、強すぎる

頑張ってくださいね😃👊😆🎵
Good skill and great game
Axelsen got a third wind sometimes in the second set and never turned back. This is really one of the greatest singles match I've ever witnessed.
You new to this sport? This is a great match but not the greatest
@@mirza5422 name me one match which you think is better..i bet it must be LD vs LCW lol
@@mirza5422 yeah but i very enjoy the long rally every point
This match is great, but not at the level of greatest yet. If u saw the game there were still too many unforced error from Viktor and misjudgement by Kento. When they both play at their highest level we can have a better game than this one
@@randomdude4045 yeah momota make many mistake in the second game by letting the ball fall to the ground more than 3 time
What a match 👏👏
Congratulations axelsen 😎😎
これは歴史に残る試合だと思った。もしかしたらこの二人がリーチョンウェイとリンダンの後継者かもしれない。
