Denmark Open final, Momota Kento faced off against Axelsen, exposing his tactics to restrain Axelsen.

On October 25th, Beijing time, all the finals of the 2021 Danish Badminton Open ended. In the men's singles, Momota Kento faced Axelsen. After a fierce battle, Axelsen defeated Momota 20-22, 21:18, 21-12, ending the previous thirteen consecutive defeats to Momota. Announced the arrival of his own era.

After the Olympics, Axelsen once again had the last laugh among strong opponents. If the player with the best performance in men's badminton in the past three months is none other than Axelsen, it can be said that he has transitioned from the Momota era to the Ansesen era. It’s the age of dragons. He will continue to create his own history, keep moving forward, and challenge Lin Dan's historic status.

However, looking at the men's singles finals of this Denmark Open, although Momota lost, he showed a way to restrain Axelsen during the game. Specifically, it includes the following aspects.

First of all, Momota Kento mainly restrained Axelsen by constantly mobilizing Axelsen, suppressing his backhand position and preventing him from smashing the ball. Axelsen's most powerful move is the forehand overhead smash. Because of his tall height and good ball skills, as long as he is in the forehand position, his smash power is currently the best in the world, and no one can guard him. Momota Kento knew his characteristics, and there were few balls in the game that gave Axelsen a comfortable forehand position. It makes us feel that although Axelsen won, it was Kento Momota who actually controlled the rhythm. If Momota Kento had not misjudged the boundary in the second game, he might have won the game.

Secondly, the way to restrain Axelsen is to hit half-high balls and keep him bending over. Axelsen is a bit obsessed with the ball in front of the net, which can pull him along. Since Axelsen is tall, reaching over 1.9 meters, his bending speed must be slow. This is his weakness. To restrain Axelsen, he must hit the ball low and flat, which will wear down his physical strength.

Finally, Axelsen's physical strength is actually not outstanding. If he reaches the third game, it will be a good drain on Axelsen and the chance of victory will be great. The tactics above

were mainly revealed through Momota Kento's matchup with Axelsen. Axelsen is currently in very good shape. We are very much looking forward to who will be the first to defeat him.
