[Saba Sports News] After the recently concluded Super 750 series India Open, reigning men’s singles badminton champion Viktor Axelsen expressed his admiration for Taiwanese player Tai Tzu-Ying in a media interview, praising her for “having a perfect playing style and exceptional skills.” Tai’s feinting technique is exquisite, earning her the title of “Queen of Deception” from the Badminton World Federation. Her feints not only make it difficult for opponents to predict her moves but also often create unexpected offensive opportunities. Axelsen deeply felt the uniqueness of her skills during their encounters, describing her as a “magician” whose next move is always unpredictable. He also noted that Tai’s understanding of badminton has transcended technical aspects, reaching an artistic level. Her matches are not just a display of technical prowess but also an artistic enjoyment. Axelsen won his first title of the season at the India Open last week, marking his third title at this event.
