World number one Viktor Axelsen is set to defend his crown at the Indonesian Open this week, following his victory at the Indonesian Masters. The second BWF World Tour 1000 event of the year will showcase the top players in the circuit as they compete for rankings points and prize money.
Axelsen’s remarkable form in the previous week, where he didn’t drop a set against five opponents, has positioned him as a strong contender for the title. His first match will be against Kanta Tsuneyama of Japan. If he continues to perform well, he could potentially face fifth seed Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in the quarter-finals, a repeat of their hard-fought semi-final last week.
