Axelsen expressed mixed emotions about his victory, stating, “I was so fired-up in there, and it got over so quick, I didn’t realize it was over. I hope he’s okay. It wasn’t a fun way to win. We played a good match… but I feel empty right now.” Reflecting on his previous World Superseries final experience, Axelsen mentioned that he has gained maturity and is excited to play on this grand stage. He acknowledged the skills of his opponent Srikanth but assured that he will be fully prepared for the match.
Srikanth, on the other hand, ensured a successful day for the host country as he secured a spot in the finals after his compatriot Saina Nehwal accomplished the same. Despite a tough three-set semi-final, Srikanth displayed no signs of weariness as he convincingly defeated China’s Xue Song with a score of 21-16, 21-13.
