Liew’s tactical brilliance in exploiting Axelsen’s height and employing a range of shots ultimately secured him the victory. His well-executed jump smashes and strategic moves kept his opponent on his toes throughout the match. Mitani’s defensive skills proved to be the downfall of Nehwal, who struggled to break through her opponent’s strong defense. Mitani’s consistent returns, even against Nehwal’s powerful smashes, and her ability to outlast her opponent in long rallies contributed to her remarkable win.
