Momota isn't fully in his prime, but he still made it to the finals. That's impressive! Keep up the hard work and I will always cheer for you Momota!!!
Viktor Axelsen in this game is similar to Lin Dan 2013, extremely patient but can be aggressive if necessary. Rather than attacking all out he chose to attack at the right spot, great strategy.
Amazing match between Kento and Viktor. I think this is the best performance from Kento in 2021, fighting back from 7-14 to 15-14 is really great to see.
Kento will be there soon! He will achieve his prime once again and if he achieves then he will be unstoppable coz after so many setbacks if he gets there that’s gonna be an inspiring story!!
Normally after winning the finals, Viktor would celebrate in style, but for this one, he congratulated Kento before celebrating, it shows the huge respect Viktor have for one who was once the very best before the car crash who still made it to the finals
Nobody have answers for victors cross court and straight smashes.i dont see momoto or anybody beating him unless someone comes with his height,physic and skills to this game.victor is completely different player than he used to be.
Lee zi Jia actually beat him in all England when he smashed cross court leezijia blocked it and Axelsen had to run diagonal and lost points. And he stopped using that because he got tired. It wouldn't definitely work against a player like momota.@@sujithsurendran6517
This really looked like Momota coming back fully. You could really wonder. Momota suddenly started attacking in 2nd set at such a critical moment for Viktor's physical condition. What wouldve happened if Momota just destroyed him there fully with long grueling rallies
This has been the most patient game I’ve seen from Axelsen. I believe that Axelsen really planned it out to play long rallies every point to tire Momota out so Axelsen’s smashes can be more effectively used later on.
and the irony is that everyone expected viktor to be the one who gets tired? maybe because of the accident that affected him but anyway we'll see if momota has better stamina next time when he gets to train.
I am still watching this in 2024, Axelsen has improved his stamina and patience a lot in 2021. Unfortunately, Momota went downfall after this and we could never see momota vs axelsen when they both are very close to their prime
14-1 pre accident! Kento went through so many tragedies!! Imagine seeing driver get killed and his cheek bones getting fractured and coming out of jaws of death?? That’s what he overcame
We can only hope.... his ranking is quite low so he likely can't join super 750 or higher lvl. One thing is for sure he won't be joining any tournament anymore this year, next year's january has India Open and Malaysia Open which are both super 750 and 1000, he won't appear there, I believe there is one super 500 or 300 in january so he might appear there. I very much doubt he'll qualify for the olympics in time for july
That tournament is the one that makes me think Momota can definitely get back to his former form. Came back from the accident and still managed to produce this kind of level, but lost confidence after that loss.
momota's over confidence in his fitness could be the cause of his defeat, he should had victor wear down in 2nd set and should have kept some energy for 3rd set, but this also proves Victor has improved his fitness immensely in last 12 months, fitness will define the future course of conflicts between these two gentlemen.
Victor is strong opponent and he get many support from circumsentence in stadium, so Momota must force every ball and didn't give chance to Victor to develop his game. Good strategy from momota, but unfortunately his sight in second game give free point for Victor
What a war of attrition! Simply, the fitter player outlasted the less fit one today. When Momota was on-song, he was the better player, but Axelsen had the stamina to implement his plan deeper into the game and Momota just didn't have the engine to reply. Super game!
The wait is over, for Viktor. This was the final that everyone asked for, and Viktor played very well, and I'd sayhe was a class above Kento, in today's performance and form. Congrats Viktor Axelsen!
I really enjoy Momota - He is my favorite of the current crop for many reasons, but even Viktor got COVID and he also had an ankle injury last year. Point of the fact is: Viktor has won 64 out of his last 66 matches, and he is recently undefeated against Yuqi, Zee Jia and now Kento too. While Momota played really well, to the other commentators mentioning he was unlucky to lose the 2nd game - Remember, Momota was also trailing 14-7 in the first game and can be said to be lucky to win it by the same logic. Additionally, Viktor is getting more confident and continuing to improve: His defense here is better than in their previous meetings. Also, his composure in the important points is strong, specially when he is under physical strain. In conclusion: Viktor is in a league of his own right now.
Viktor Axelsen could not beat Kento Momota for 7.5 years. Just think about that. How perfect was Momota's game before the tragic accident in Malaysia? 😢😮😢😮😢😮
Axelsen this year actually improved a lot on every ralley especially keeping patent following Momotar. This stratery is very useful when he is better smashing than Momota.
1:05:50 This miss made Momota lose the match. If he won that smash, the score would be 18-14, then very difficult for Axelsen to revert. Although Momota has not reached his 100% performance and stamina and lost the match, but it seems we can see Axelsen is his very favorite opponent. He seems feel more comfortable when defense and play Axelsen than other top players. For Axelsen, obviously he has improved his physical and mental stamina.
Momota is near 100%, had flashes of brilliance and implemented his game strategy well, but he made too many line judgment errors and imo should have continued those rallies instead of letting the shuttle drop back in. The other thing is, Axelsen, though visibly tired, got 2nd and 3rd winds from his home crowd. Momota also got tired too which we saw in some of his shots. To his credit, Axelsen mustered up all his energy to attack as much as possible, while Momota never took those explosive steps to attack when Axelsen lifted to him. That is the difference in the 3rd game, when it really should have been 2 games won by Momota, had he played more agressively.
Viktor Axelsen always struggled when he met Momota and seemed to be psychologically inhibited, playing below his ability but this match Vik broke the psychological barrier. I believe, if Vik vs Momota again, it will be much easier to play.
33:42 Listen to Morten here, what he says about Kento's clears to the backcourt against Axelsen. I see how players today breach Kento's defense easily, attacking and scoring points at will. That comes from the lack of quality of clears from Kento, perhaps. I am an armchair expert on the game and don't qualify to comment, but I can speculate. And I believe Kento's clear-hitting strategy is so transparent these days that players read it like an open book. So, their attack, coupled with Kento's weakened defense game, helps them win. An obvious contrast: this game and the Malaysia Open 2022 final. What a difference in mentality, gameplay, and dominance among other things!
Axelson is a beast. True no 1 and the best player right now. His smashes are so lethal. Mamota also doing grt. But he is not par with Axelson. Fanboys don't bring the crap out. Mamota needs more than this to beat improved Axelson. I am really happy unlike Yufei , Axelson lived up to his Olympic gold medal.
from this match, Kento just need improve his endurence to lead Viktor perfomence. But from now, Kento needs many aspect to lead Viktor perfomence. It's really sad to see how far Kento declining his perfom now, I hope he can play like this match again
A long sigh for KM. When he was sitting besides the court after the end, what was he thinking? His eyes seems to tell a sense of emptiness after such a long match with so many long rallies. He did his best and then silence.
viktor shouldve taken that in 2 sets..im really glad he won. I didnt like the commentators comments in the first and second set..saying his getting tired blablabla...viktor really showed he managed mentally and physically as well... that was an amazing performance of the highest level from both players
This was the last time I saw Kento Momota as the best these pay few games he’s been not his best and making simple mistakes I hope Kento can come back to the way he played like this and it s devastating that In his prime he was able to go toe to toe with argent like Lee Chong Wei and having such a win streak
This is the clearest proof how Covid affects health The one who is famous for incredible stamina like Kento Momota totally gas out at 3rd set .... I ve never been seeing Kento that tired ( He used to be much better at stamina compared to Victor) . Unbelievable
@@juspreetsandhu8446 They are trying to make momota into a victim. If only he wasn't for the accident and covid, he should surely be winning everything...as he deserves and the others don't.
Well done Axelson for staying in the game and taking your chance when it came. Momota clearly had him struggling in the 2nd set. Don't know why he started guessing shots were going out. His strategy should have been to keep the shuttle in play and continue with the long rallies. Anyway the better player overall won today.

I like Kento Momota's play no matter he wins or loses.
Momota is regaining his form. Please don't get discouraged Momota. Keep going!!!!!
true..he's slowly regaining his old form, continue to get better Momota, more tournaments to follow, take some rest
I think he wasted too much energy on the match before. He played amazingly then, and seemed to start this match without a full tank.

What a great final. Momota is slowly coming back. He has nothing to be ashamed of for this match.
this is also the year of Viktor, but there will be a lot of promises ahead of Momota next year. Momota is the best in my heart.
Pure Momota. Because he was suffer from eyes accident. Haizzz
Also, because they played in Denmark and Viktor got a lot of supports from the Denmark supporters in his own hometown country.

well momota is younger than axelson. soo..

@@rgwhwrfdbwrg i think he is talking about the injury he got a few years ago

Dude momota pre-accident was unstoppable. Glad he can continue but he's not what he was :'(
Viktor Axelsen in this game is similar to Lin Dan 2013, extremely patient but can be aggressive if necessary. Rather than attacking all out he chose to attack at the right spot, great strategy.
Fully agree with that
Lin Dan wasn't really play in 2013 except in the World Championships.
Maybe you thought of 2010-12 Lin Dan
lol. Patient? He was attacking the whole night.
Amazing match between Kento and Viktor. I think this is the best performance from Kento in 2021, fighting back from 7-14 to 15-14 is really great to see.
This might be the best MS match of 2021 so far
All England Final 2021? I prefered it.
@@toastersman217 I like the sound of audience

Pain & sweat will never lie to you. Congrats Victor 🎉
it's okay momota , you still amazing and always number 1 in my heart💘, and then viggo is on fire after olympic, so congrats for you both!🤩
57:28 That was the best shot of this year. Key point gave Axelsen the confident that he's lack of before
Without a doubt! That was incredible.
I can't believe it 😱
I've seen a lot of great fakes and various other similar shots similar to this one, but this may be the best shot all time.
It was also the turning point in the match when Axelsen started looking confident and had a long second wind.
Best shot i ever seen
Normally after winning the finals, Viktor would celebrate in style, but for this one, he congratulated Kento before celebrating, it shows the huge respect Viktor have for one who was once the very best before the car crash who still made it to the finals
miss the days momota was confident and fast in court.
😭😞
he just got back
Finally, Axelson conquered his nightmare. Congrat!
Conquered?
@@jimw8615 Yes, conquered. Conquered doesn't mean "destroyed" if that's what you thought.

Great game, shows what we're missing at the moment: Momota. The kryptonite to Axelsen's extreme body
What a match. enjoyed every second of it
This match was damnnn God level..🎚️
Momota had a very good chance of winning this, 17-14 up the second game.
What a FANTASTIC match! I think we can gladly and confidently say that Momota is BACK!!
Aged well
no it did not @@Futwinnie
This really looked like Momota coming back fully.
You could really wonder. Momota suddenly started attacking in 2nd set at such a critical moment for Viktor's physical condition. What wouldve happened if Momota just destroyed him there fully with long grueling rallies
but how is his condition right now? i want to cry
Axelsen became a monster,he is very strong now,,but momota slowly come back and getting better
I love both two players! Bit more mamota ! I know his horrible car accident and his effort to recovery..keep going Mamota !youre the hero.
Momota's game reminds me of Taufik Hydayat...total technique, pure pleasure to watch.
This has been the most patient game I’ve seen from Axelsen. I believe that Axelsen really planned it out to play long rallies every point to tire Momota out so Axelsen’s smashes can be more effectively used later on.

ending part is my fave🥺 congrats axelsen & to momota, today just wasn't your day. comeback stronger, bro! 💪🏻
The ending smash for that last point which ended the whole match was super satisfying.the sheer power & will inside that smash..
That shot quality in every rally, no matter how long it took. I dont find any words for this. Olympic champ and World champ entertained us well today
What an achievement for Viktor: got his 1st win in his home soil with a player who has 14-1 lead against him.
14-1 pre accident! Kento went through so many tragedies!! Imagine seeing driver get killed and his cheek bones getting fractured and coming out of jaws of death?? That’s what he overcame
@@sp3949 WHy are you guys dick riding him so hard. He lost. Viktor won just let him celebrate god damn.
The way he got 8 points in a row...wow really amazing man....❤
This might be the last match that we can see Momota in his form with a great fighting spritit. Miss his playing!
We now have good reason to believe in him again.
We can only hope.... his ranking is quite low so he likely can't join super 750 or higher lvl. One thing is for sure he won't be joining any tournament anymore this year, next year's january has India Open and Malaysia Open which are both super 750 and 1000, he won't appear there, I believe there is one super 500 or 300 in january so he might appear there.

The very last high-quality match between these two after that accident.

If anyone laughs at Momota, look back at how great he was in 2018/2019.
