This is the spirit of a true winner, he congratulates the opponent even after a loss, him crying means that he is truly passionate about winning, even though he had won so many tournaments already, losing one tournament is still a sad thing for him. I salute to you, Viktor Axelsen, you are truly a legend.
He admit that he has done his best then say he had too many mistake today. He doesn’t find an excuse to explain his performance first but to congratulate his opponent. This is the champion spirit and healthy competitor spirit. A lot of people always find a excuse for their performance first rather then tell others they had done their best. Because they can’t admit their failure. And always comfort themselves by all kinds of excuse. Viktor axselsen is a respectable athlete.
Yeah that's why Viktor and Loh Kean Yew clicked. Both are humble, friendly and very down-to earth despite their strings of achievements unlike some number one single player in Malaysia. I think he would probably laugh in his sleep if he beats Viktor, well this is something he cannot do!
That’s who he is now. But only few knows, about 3 years ago, he was way more aggressive and had a bigger ego than this. Now he has had almost all he want - his family, his world championship, and his gold medal

@@khairulimranrosli3394 Dude, have you been living in a cave??? BAM threatened to ban him for 2 years for turning professional. It was all over the news.
He is like the Roger Federer of badminton. Due to the fact badminton is dominated by Indonesian and China players we don't see professional characters in the court. The fact new generation of Chinese and Indonesian are now more professional than in the past. Malaysia Lcw have set a good example for young players like Shi yuqi , kento momota and Cristie Jonathan. As for western people professionalism in the blood of western. I am Malaysian.
@@willwang9789 Chen long is good. He is lucky that Lin Dan is on his side. Looking at this year All England China and Indonesia proved that they still dominate Men's singles and men's doubles respectively. As a Malaysian myself I can't deny that Malaysian badminton isn't improving much since the retirement of Lcw. But when Aaron chia and Soh wooi yik won the world championship is just break the jinx that Malaysia finally have won the world championship. Since then Malaysian badminton is struggling. To be honest Viktor axelsen is just a bit unlucky against Ng tze yong.
Very gracious even in defeat. Wishing Viktor the best and looking forward to seeing him in the next tournament. I'm sure he'll bounce back and be even stronger.
What a amazing player Viktor really is 🥲 seeing his face alone tells badminton is his life he is really passionate about it and puts everything into it
Viktor, appreciate your heartfelt reaction -- a hero of all sports, not just in badminton, and an inspiration all around the world, especially in East Asia where you are loved for your clear respect to your opponents. Win a few more, even as the young ones are dying to catch you!
Victor says, " there is always a winner and a loser " You lost not because you did not play well but today just was'nt your day. Both of you play extremely well ....great entertainment watch by millions fans around the globe. You earned worldwide respect where you congratulated NSYong ........this is the spirit of a true sportsman. Keep it up and I am pretty sure you will bounce back soon.
He's such an amazing ambassador for badminton. He's extremely ambitious and is only hard on himself, but is always humble whenever he loses a game and truly congratulates his opponents. A class sportsman!
It's very tough to stay as No 1, most of us were hoping that you will win again but he had played well, hoped this win would not create another person but remain humble, win or lose gracefully. One win with such a close score can be anyone's game hence it is the sustainability in future which will decide one's status no 1. Although disappointed and very emotional, he still gracefully congratulated the winner, you are a true Champion,
My sons are badminton players and these are very good role models for them. Great sportsmanship, and also he showed the human side of him. Congrats Viktor!
The first time I knew Axelsen was in Thomas Cup 2016 final, against Tomy Soegiarto in first MS. When Tomy got slipped in the court and asked the umpire to dry the court from the sweat, the umpire refused that request, because he thought Tomy just wanted to delay the game. To my surprise, Axelsen stood up with Tomy and told the umpire to dry the court. From that moment on, I knew he's going to be great player and he becomes one of my favourite player and I respect him because of his fair play and good sportmanship... So come back stronger...
such a big person to congrats his opponent and admit his own shortcomings. even though personally i did not like him for his arrogant attitude after each winnings, but today you won my heart
You still the best right now axelsen despite you no go further to this tournament, as you said there is a winner there is a lose, but you will win more other game ahead
@@路人甲-j9v you're right.. But i was listening to the commentary where Gill clarke was saying that if their is no blood, then blood injury timeout should not be taken. Another thing which I noticed when Viktor got his first match point at 20-19 was that tze yong fell on ground after the rally was over(He was completely balanced and on his feet) . Because of which the floor had to be mopped and he got extra time from that. Although these tactics are quite normal.. And i guess part of the game
@@gaganvarshney3287 a cut on your racket hand can be super annoying and painful cause the wound keeps on getting stretched open. So having it covered is a must.
@@gaganvarshney3287 but i do agree that ng tze yong intentionally stalled time too much. But in the end Axelsen made too many mistakes and gave too many free points.
He made so much money already to this far, yet he is still crying like a baby for not winning this time. I saw him many times cursing to himself when he made mistakes. Remember he is still the winner and ranked no. 1, no need to be sad, be come back stronger next time.
@@GaryM67-71 money is soo relevant. I play this game as well. I realize sometimes we loose and sometimes we win. be patient and stronger. having a big heart is the only way one can find peace within. smile and realize by the end of the time it's only GAME.
@@ramproject1397 I am sure 100% Viktor has no thoughts about the prize money these days. He's made enough, in retirement he will make much more, touring China for example.
I want to thank you for showing my 10 year old kid that real men cry. You are such a great role model for him and his hero. Don't ever change, Viktor. Keep playing because you love this game
I really appreciate Viktor's passion for the game, I really admire him. and yes, we want to see players play to win and nothing less. Viktor, you have made badminton a great sport!
Man, you can see how passionate he is and what this truly means for him, being emotional like that. I'd love to see how he bounces back from this upset; I'm sure he'll be even more mature and better in all ways. Come back even stronger, Viktor!
He’s kinda emotional recently, which is why he made more unforced errors than usual. Hope he can fix this because when those youngsters born after 2000 are rising it will be more and more difficult to maintain his reign.
This is one of my favorite badminton moments. Not because he lost. But because how he showed champion spirits after loosing a game. Always polite, always professional. And nothing is wrong a man showing his true emotions. This is passion for winning. Respects.
it's actually good seeing him get emotional. it means he care enough despite holding so many titles and being number 1. alot people make it on top and start behaving entitled like lee zii jia. axelsen is a true champion on and off court.
Lee Zii Jia has his own battles to fight and he has bragging rights if he wins, as simple as that. Pretty sure when he wins AE and becomes no 1, he will also mature.
@@ichinakanogaming it's fact. i root for lzj but he need to get past this process. alot singer actor made it big and ego got into them with the fame and money and crashed down. lzj left BAM, set up his own team, becoming face of many brands. result ? badminton get shittier, even got into court dispute with coach and now coachless. lzj is a person that needs hatred to be his true self like he was once was. becoming BA, he need to play it kind, polite, gain fans. it's all bullshit.
Heart of a true champion. Took the loss as it is, respects and congratulates his opponent for being the better player on the day. Not bitter, but only more determined to strive better the very next time. Great respect. Compared to his teammate who lost to Momota in WC 2019, you could see such great contrast.
Well done ng tze yong to prove lee tze jia is nothing.ask lee zhi jia to come back to bam and coaching by lee chong wei better.dear lee zhi jia.dont stubborn alreadi.

I agree. LCW also used to cry when he lost to LD. They are all really passionate about badminton. It is the mark of legends.
Reminds me of a young Federer, wins pretty much every tournament but cries when he loses a tough battle and yet gracious in defeat
Very professional manner

viktor has matured so much mentally. These occasional slips or hiccups doesn't take away the fact that he is still the best of the current era.

It´s ok to loose to the Timeout King
Excuses. LCW and LD would win regardless timeout king or not. If ur good, ur good. Delay strategy won't work against LCW or LD.
Not really tho , when you have blood injury by the rule you need to treated immediately no matter you want or doesn't.that is the rule.
