A month after becoming the World champion, Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen has reached the pinnacle of the BWF World Rankings. Axelsen’s remarkable title triumph at the Daihatsu Yonex Japan Open earned him 9,200 points, propelling him to the top spot with a total of 76,200 points. This achievement makes him the first Dane to hold the Men’s Singles rankings since the legendary Peter Gade.

Not far behind Axelsen, we have Lin Dan from China, who secured the runner-up position in the World Championships and currently sits at No.3. China continues to dominate the top ten with Shi Yuqi at No.4 and Chen Long at No.6.

Moving on to the Women’s Singles, Carolina Marin’s recent victory at the Japan Open has propelled her to the fourth spot in the rankings. While Marin’s rise is noteworthy, Tai Tzu Ying from Chinese Taipei still retains her lead as the top-ranked player.
