lympic gold medalist Viktor Axelsen clinched the Indonesia Open men's singles title after beating Singapore's Loh Kean Yew in the final on Sunday.
The 27-year-old scored a victory against Loh 21-13, 9-21, 21-13 in an intense 59-minute game in the badminton tournament held at the Bali International Convention Center & Westin Resort in Nusa Dua, Badung regency, Bali.
Axelsen's victory came after his compatriot Anders Antonsen was forced to withdraw from the tournament due to an injury in his right chest.
In the men's doubles, hometown heroes Marcus Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukomuljo won the e after defeating Japan's Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi, who stunned them in the final of the Indonesia Masters a week earlier.
The world's number one, affectionately known by fans as the Minions, redeemed themselves from last week's defeat by beating the Japanese pair 21-14, 21-18 in a 38-minute game.
"The key to our victory is that we've learned from last week's defeat [...] we evaluated our mistakes and we fixed them," Gideon said after the match.
