axelsson wins this final today Lee Chong Wei one of the taking as the victor Axelson yesterday in his semi-final got revenge against a she-monkey the All England finalist he lost to him in the group but my goodness he was impressive yesterday in the semi final only dropping a total Sleater white also had a repeats of a group match against the number one seeds on my home of Korea he also reverse the result of the group match which he lost in three games obviously in the semi-final he won and it was two straight games 21:17 2111 [Music] so that of course sets up the dream final Lee Chong Wei in his fifth final at the super series of finals here today the four-time former champion there he is former world number one if he wins today's final he will regain his place on the top of the world rankings the defending champion Victor axelsson where's Victor there he is that all a Dane in his third consecutive final here the defending champion the world champion and the current world number one two men the nervous waits in the corridor before being announced on to center stage both these men vastly experienced but I'm sure the nerves are fluttering so let's get them onto court with our embassy first the defending champion and world champion the defending champion who a year ago on his very first Super Series title when appearing in his seven final it's a third consecutive final for the world champion here at the synthesis finals speaking two years ago and champion last year for his opponents three-time Olympic silver medalist number four seed Malaysia before time former champion the most successful player in the history of the Super Series today is contesting his 66th Super Series tournament final he's already won 46 titles including the last Super Series prior to these Super Series finals for Hong Kong open just last month [Music] while the young mascots special moment for them too young participants in bbws shuffle time well this is the only final two not to feature the number one seed but we've been asked for a Vita lineup is defending champion and full-time former champion the title of stake and the world number one status while both these men as I was explaining a moment ago lost a group match come through to Lee Chong Wei 35 years of age now born in Georgetown Penang and he won the title here in 2008 9 10 and 13 I say here of course I mean the Super Series finals this his fifth final in his eighth appearance at the Super Series finals so the Olympic silver medalist he's contested for world championship finals on Wednesday he leaked uncon of Hong Kong Chen LAN withdrew before the start of play the Olympic champion and two-time winner of this event so that was a walkover he then lost to someone home in three games having been a game and 13 3 and 16 6 up but he had a nasty slip and we were terribly worried about him because we thought he had injured himself but he got revenge yesterday in the semi-final winning in two straight games against the number one seed someone home so Viktor axelsson only competed in 8 of the 12 Super Series tournaments but he reached 3 finals he won the India Super Series and reached the final of China having won Japan in the interim period where he beat his opponent of today of course he won the World title as well the 23 year old Dame so as you can see with his matches twice he went the full distance he lost to sheep and sheep from China on Thursday in the group match and then it was a straight playoff against charity and Chen in the last of the group matches on Friday whoever won that was again to qualify for the semi-finals the way the rule worked out he wants a game played XI Ichi but he absolutely destroyed the Obi Silas from China 21 12 21 8 so this will be the 12th meeting between the two players no the previous see 11 Lee Chong Wei has won nine of them but Victor axelsson has won the last two and of course the last time they met was in the final of that Japan Open in our [Applause] Australia the cleanup think over the Czech Republic is on service - [Applause] well we've got a number of Danish supporters friends and family is it perhaps awesome just to the left of our commentary position gently on my fine [Applause] and on my left Lee Chong Wei Malaysia Lee Chong Wei to serve Louisville play so the four-time former champion eat your way far side of the court against Victor axelsson the defending champion as we saw a moment ago this is the target he told the two in the two players but it's only the same time that they've met in a final first time meeting in a final was the last time they met [Applause] [Applause] Steen have you had any contact as a nurse earlier today about Victor his feeling is he fit him well yeah said to the Danish media that yes that he got a little Tara because there was a shot that chichi unexpectedly recharged he wasn't expecting it Victor so he had to make something woman got a little tear in the back I think we saw what he was grabbing his back yeah but says they didn't feel anything that shouldn't there be any evidence at all so he was just enjoying it and wanted to play the final [Music] [Applause] my Wow various finalists for regional where the series final split of titles so obviously has never lost a final I just explaining to the young father he wasn't ready those heads down [Applause] breathe [Applause] children singing final displays that don't play with matches [Laughter] five-three [Music] [Applause] [Music] hold on certain where we should rate the leach away in the storm of their because say it's been some part of group matches though whose hat already qualify but he played his second group match against their someone hall when he slipped through I didn't see the match against the uncle on where he revenged his defeat in from China open to being rich we should be fresh is only had to play three matches since chin long and had to withdraw so Stanley should be fine [Applause] [Applause] [Music] chuckling wait [Applause] said it's over [Applause] that's an important match in my opinion for Chong Wei because the cultural victory in Hong Kong open and he's had some strange losses early in in tournaments as the World Championships - Breece liver days and he's practiced quite some time with you [Applause] should he lose this match here then looks like he begins to to fold but on the other hand if he wins this that should boost his confidence give him some belief that he's on the right track pointing in the down the directions as a service [Applause] [Music] [Applause] rocket must be poison in a downward direction there they're very often mistakes these calls here unfortunately [Applause] [Music] [Applause] perfect the lake spirit [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] perceptive shots on our way [Applause] I think that's gonna be one of the questions whether his attack can open up axles if you can do that there you think he's got a good chance of winning it is not able to do it I feel for his son shucks quality so he played well in Hong Kong they'd see all the matches from from that tournament well I watched him all the way through he was wrong [Applause] that's what's needed in my opinion in forfeiture way if he drops down and pace we saw it a little bit in some huh then he's very very Union but if you can pay with this speed like we used to do when he was younger when he was 32 then it spells trouble for almost all opponents defense great patience film access in there blim sunburn vixx's little sister next to the Danish flag [Applause] let's place leak Victor so the young pants didn't have a working boat boss okay so buzzy mister get ready fast and get out before it becomes a problem [Applause] patient play from accessing excellent [Applause] 10:8 [Applause] it's gonna want it good shot very good shot [Applause] before her met you feel is going right yeah no watching [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ten Oh [Applause] oh yes that I still can do with it so it is the defending champion who has a one-point advantage chick when it came into vogue it's great [Applause] [Music] but I get to [Applause] Celinda OB the gestures there is it tasty pop [Music] [Applause] the future it's something about that Chewie is not really lifting out of free will if he lifts that because accessing has burned itself because it needs to be alert that Chen Wei is playing pretty much whole court against frontcourt playing a lot of drop shots a lot of smashes they talked about they're trying to track to weight closer to the net than I feeling that this what we was trying to do here [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Victor young pyatters work that John way should be ready faster [Applause] [Music] excellency that great nation from axis release at the moment believing in his defensive abilities [Applause] slim down lifts on those drop shots there then Dan and Lee Chong Wei that's it holding and they have their fierce battles Lin Lin Dan when he tried an attacking shot bench away managed to get it back he lifted really really high to the back court to try neutralize the Malaysian seems like Victor's adapted that strategy [Applause] [Applause] well 13 [Applause] it's a hole in the back pan there some way he's got to close that [Applause] could we turn now [Applause] 14 [Applause] [Applause] so the 15:13 cassadee's he indicated to me mr. victor axis and his playing well that round the headshot and the follow-up afterwards I think John Wayne was playing a little bit short on that one and that makes it difficult to to play well in the defense because it can't leave the straight one open [Applause] [Applause] that's what they quickly open way [Applause] 14:15 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] let's try chair it's got to be a challenge or lat [Applause] fine with the challenge I do I think the umpire of the linesman goes right [Applause] one of those where we see just a tiny little bit of the line [Applause] [Music] we saw yesterday that that travail was some maybe isn't changing the pace in his forehand side he hasn't been doing that today at all and it's a great corner for access and to explore the long form upon the wrong way good return very fanfic - aye aye sir [Applause] [Applause] right defense [Applause] [Music] [Applause] sixty they did well to reach that improved his agility the wrong lines calling opinion because the linesman wave that out [Applause] No now after destructor shutter is replicated histogram hi [Applause] seem to have been the theme for the umpires briefing this week here in Dubai [Applause] 17 [Applause] boy the second time he really moves and the Serb from the best of serfs jewelry but you see what strong boys options here because he's serving shorts and axelsson is pouncing on it it's serving flake and he's getting called a fault dear Lord and the game as a super fun [Music] [Applause] 18 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] the rally at the moment and both players taking the opportunity to tell them while the court is mocked of the perspiration for the very first time goes into the lead it's the best time to meet the end of the games [Applause] [Applause] who's challenging its own way [Music] [Applause] let's knock this out [Music] Lutron wildest little is in what matters is what Holkar says challenge unsuccessful 2:19 all one challenger Navy sailor soldier 19 play [Applause] [Applause] so they thought that fortress movements around ahead position T and by the time is landed his body weights coming forward magnificent form new Chong Wei poor sports smashes and him again point opportunity [Applause] to the full-time former champion Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia 21 million teen 19 26 minutes [Applause] [Music] his title [Applause] [Applause] Weiner has Saul Benavides if speedometer [Music] Kumiko nursin 22nd pick transition seconds kickboxers suit very difficult thing to you anything Steve yeah I actually couldn't hear a thing almost also a lot of cheering and music going on to me it's clear they're accessing have to maintain that length on his shots and he's got to move a lot more was going to the long haul hand side of the John way service over 1 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] good challenge with the flat game in the back inside as well as I see it Oh [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] has been really high on the net Yahweh and dominated the net in my opinion it's so important for access and just to push emulation away from the net that corner there nothing bad happens [Applause] three [Applause] until that excess news a little bit unsatisfied with that shot then show us and not the same focus this yesterday against the Xiu Qi [Applause] [Music] seems tensed and a great chance for some way to to run away here in the beginning of the second game and so notice as we change the shrimp America collapses and through the shuffle into they use shuttle box [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that should that should be a cue to axelsson that there that for Hornets not as all as dangerous as Joey has spin from his backhand corner has been really good from his backhand corner variation and winners [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's a great safe [Applause] that's something that he shipped up builds his future I feel saying those from you [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the head yeah the party language there is it's not as focused budding language it's five four in the second game you've lost the first by two points you have every chance to play a good match [Applause] savvy silver 5 [Applause] [Applause] played with disguise played without cure safe six access and is left stranded [Applause] that's what the Unison should pick up on there that actually could have the upper hand in effective sort of a 60 percent smash we sold Yamaguchi play some of them against sindelle that wasn't a smash this just recovery shot basically [Applause] and Senator Leyva's go down yeah [Applause] [Music] it's gone white says absent and that's a little bit cheeky feel neutral why because he deliberately missed that newts going wide is Somali old tactics their tactics some Danish players have been asked about how it is to play Legion away on four they like him as a person outside the court they're not particularly like weighing him [Applause] [Applause] eight six never delightful drop shot [Applause] well Lee Chong Wei is asking for the court to be mocked and the umpire is saying no well you can see the perspiration dripping down on Lee Chong Wei Jin it must be all over the court look at him match Friday [Applause] [Music] no it's okay place now both players agree yeah axes he had the same problem earlier this week yeah could help each other bright and we spent longer time on discussing it then actually wiping the court [Applause] and I'm thinking back on the Cindy Yamaguchi Lynch at nineteen all yumpire called single up to the chair to ask her to not delay the game at 19 again with him and getting late [Applause] well I just don't understand it [Applause] play look at that you can see the perspiration dripping down off his face and that's landing on the court surface [Applause] no family um parallels the Porter telling us to come on perspiration [Applause] nine eight [Applause] expired the term hate a sohbat yeah [Applause] the judgment lets a problem with our axis and he's decided to challenge [Applause] [Music] Salam's unsuccessful one challenge remaining [Applause] [Music] [Applause] service over ten nine [Applause] twist the racket just in the nick of time the actual way already got Victor to commit to one side [Applause] [Applause] so as with the opening game it is the defending champion Victor oxacillin who has the one-point advantage here at the mid game in hook [Music] [Music] [Music] hypo Township [Music] again it seemed very difficult to hear what the coaches say man state a little bit about the acceleration from the backcourt Dan's been their team all week it's the second game because I was asking if he's lifting a little bit too much chance he's been playing too steep smashes their own the sides to each a way I would like to see here power smash to the body to sort of prevent him from going too early to another side serve immolation and on the other hand also be alert as today fact that yahweh is trying to draw accessing to the net that one extra step that is really really difficult to cover the power smash down the side [Applause] it's important to keep threatening we see how much Joanne has been threatening from his backhand side so if you if you never use your power smash then you don't really threaten anything we that's a little bit unlucky on the net cord was actually difficult to say whether it was unlucky unlucky yeah Joey was moving backwards [Applause] it's too wild and Victor's on his way to the tip box after that smash so if some way gets it it's a it's a winner very little success rate on that one [Applause] Davis over 13 shuttle balances he played that [Applause] very high on that Joey excellent play [Applause] 14:13 this is testing both players physically [Applause] 14:13 save fantastic save [Applause] amazing [Applause] 15:13 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] lady gay to show to me two straight points 16 axis [Applause] [Music] [Applause] goes long [Applause] say the silver 14:16 like [Music] [Applause] oh my goodness all right sundar that's the top of the tape [Applause] [Music] [Applause] 17:14 [Applause] that's the fantastics mesh I thought he disappear in some way but what a response now the becoming champion 43 points away from forcing a third game it was beautiful wasn't strengthen line [Applause] [Applause] 19:14 well I think there's been a combination of two things I think Victor axelsson has upped his game but I also think each always definitely gone off the boil I think he has [Applause] and the question is No with its excellent Sun shots that have been better placed or the length of the match is taking its toll on inch away [Applause] 15:19 good deception but everybody needs a little luck once in a while well axelsson as we're looking at that again cannot believe that the olivarez are allowing him to have the core plot [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] let's go wide let's go careful oh yeah he's looking a little nervous [Applause] 17:19 [Applause] I might add salt for leaves on way and now there's just one point in it my forestry points if Norway is a little bit tired then shouldn't be given the chance to play 50 50 shots flailing to the port major way judge the speed and the length himself Chong Wei is back level on a run of five straight points now it's all about the nerves [Applause] [Music] some support from the audience here a good return of serve fast on to that low sir Victor axelsson is earned himself a game point opportunity to level this final at one game apiece landed him it's one game all misjudgment there from Lee Chong Wei so absolute symmetry in the score line each day what a loss to nineteen it's one game all four minutes into the match we will be treated to a third and deciding game your turn in the chest [Music] [Music] [Music] yes QA people ankle monitors physical pain [Music] [Music] [Applause] kitchen hostess [Music] it's nice Victor axelsson and his coach were exchanging smiles anything new from coach Johnson difficult to hear but still this acceleration lifting high also a little bit about what your opponent's plan is and which away is definitely looking to win the net let's just set your he seemed to fall down and the later 2/3 of that that's good I think I think it's up to the track system to bring this match here if he can loosen up a little bit I think he can play better than he's played throughout this match I'm not sure we can play much better than we've seen him play we saw it against Yugi had Viktor loosened up in in that match if is the same didn't happen here then he's got a great chance of winning look [Applause] [Music] - yeah - service folks from what's the percent this era [Applause] [Applause] away my opinion is struggling physically I think so too I think he was in the middle of the second game and here we can see the first smash is powerful and then if big district seats in returning it then the rest of the year attacking shots are mostly just downward shots when it tries to outmaneuver axis and but not with the same power not with the same cost of energy it's not the longest match chale one in Hong Kong movie was 54 minutes and we've passed that now [Applause] it's when you're fatigued timing of your shots go this is you making some suspect and he's gotta stop that run now Joey because otherwise I think excellent is gonna lose up [Applause] - what's going on this air it's an epic definitely high forehand server ever ever seen that from wrong way before [Applause] this one accessing should sense that two ways not giving away the net freely the windows in a good position go for the chance to run the longest election way place about forty [Applause] [Applause] got him in the face [Applause] that could be no monster you got anymore [Applause] [Applause] [Music] an exception we needed sustaining as much it impacts players on their folders yeah [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] never seen anything like it right testimony for Victor Axelsson is in trouble he's got to play the higher back and then look at the dive here and just watch his next shots he was on his knees well that is absolutely amazing the lessening why you never give up in the rally [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] less humiliating taking the challenge than just turning around and delivering the shuttle to your opponent it could be crucial in later stages of this third inning [Applause] this is a commanding lead now haled the defending champion [Applause] the second service era from Victor Epps's and by [Applause] [Music] [Applause] mr. or they skidded on his knees actually suddenly and trying to stand up he looked as if he the master peculiar body movements [Applause] the silver [Applause] [Applause] what no I was lucky to get away without was Viktor actually um decision should have really costed ten fun in freebooting way as possibly so surprised they actually played up as well so it's a six-point advantage for the world champion a victor axelsson as the players change ends in this deciding game [Music] six minutes [Music] [Music] [Music] baby [Music] don't you think assist he interrupts yawners and said can I say something I'm really nervous when I'm serving is it okay if I flick I don't know if he has to pay fine but it hit you Kenneth whenever he flicks last permission very rarely that we've seen incorrect polls on the baseline when dropping from [Applause] successful one challenge remaining service over eleven there's a little funny that accent just nervous when he's too short because it's not like John Wayne has sort of made any where's this discontent playing the nature yeah [Applause] this is why you should move forward excellent that's not gonna come any more hot smashes lead wrong way [Applause] after that wonderful drop shot do anything to travel with the first one there Lee Chong Wei just pushed his opponent Deeping fortigate [Applause] now look too fast over there [Applause] he said he's becoming nervous not only in this service now accessing he's become nervous all over sensing that this is a good opportunity and that actually might take the opportunity away [Applause] can we step forward on his return interception good save both struggling physically now oh my goodness but that's that's the same picture we saw last year where the stumbling around for such a way you should pick up on this so yes you've seen a little bit of spark back in this game if he can score a couple of easy points he's right back in it yeah [Applause] good Indonesia and Japan just in slum pushing in with a particular his but of course you've got to go for what you believe can work and I mean both players have a sense that if they open too early they will get counter-attacks yeah [Applause] right needed that service over 914 [Applause] thank you [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] control the nerves control over physicality mouse is so important to people on your opponent's payment which one way really is he playing it clears he's playing ballads and then he's playing to the back port from his own front court Victor there was one but not that many that's the reason he doesn't play that Mandy because when he plays the clears accents the attack so now the next couple of rallies in my opinion when access new place to the back body should take extra step forward and over Carlos encore [Applause] [Applause] I was looking at sight line [Applause] [Music] [Applause] physically it looks like yeah anyway yesterday listen Bubba hand right now yeah that he's got a little bit may speak to suddenly inject into the rallies [Applause] fifteen like [Applause] [Music] though he has cold hi today with debits that sir we don't know this if it's not really as a pity let's have a look at it steam was closer than any of us it was really close yeah I tend to agree with that one and we must remember that we have here at the benefit of seeing it in replayed the umpire destiny and the service judge hasn't that possibility [Applause] 17:11 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] taken off the top of the tank and Victor axes and yeah very well taken huge amounts of liquid being taken on board [Applause] 18 in Lebanon [Applause] well you just sent us it's now or never as far as the Malaysian is concerned 18 try to get a run at points now you try a bounce to regain this title it's gonna be difficult for him to get that short service in plate yeah my opinion axles and she was a really good service was it good I know picture axelsson two points away from his second consecutive title here at the Super Series finals [Applause] [Music] nineteen well [Applause] brilliant touch somebody's lovely make this stage of the match that's what we have to give to this match fantastic touch in his defense and on his net shots from from the baseline they've been absolutely brilliant [Applause] [Applause] continuing the last eight games these two who played against each other have ended with this goal 2119 or fortune so who gets away from this score here now [Applause] like [Music] [Applause] 16:19 [Applause] - tell them go play with that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that's that love cause it challenge here for a Chong Wei he's wrong when it's match point opportunities the defending champion desperate hope that poor guy was not working so five match points to axelsson to retain his title maybe Series finals so so very 20 [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] those garnets for that's choice the victor axis is just credible shot a wry smile [Applause] [Music] please [Applause] [Applause] [Music] the team pointless in good spirits Hey [Applause] small 1921 21 115 in
