Why Viktor Axelsen Is The Best Badminton Player In The World (+ What You Can Learn From Him!)

Lee chong at his prime vs viktor at present, what do you think?

but we also have to admit, that this generation in MS ist not on the same level like LCW, LD, Chen Long,...-level.

Fun fact: At a young age Viktor cursed himself being so tall wishing he was shorter, since that was the norm back then for all good badminton players, he didn't think he could become one of the best because of his height. Now people are arguing that being so tall is an advantage in many cases in badminton, but that's literally only because of Axelsen. You wouldn't hear that argument 10 years ago.

Thank you soo much to help me in to smash

Dude is tall... More area covered... Period

If I may, I'd like more videos about placement and moves strategy. I know you did several already but I'd like a basic method to placement and goals to reach in order to stay hard to play for the opponent and easy to play for us. What to do to protect a not so good shot of ours till we make it better : smash, back-end and so on... ? Are there basic placements and moves patterns to keep in mind when playing that we could memorize? Thanks! Love. ❤

HI guy! Congratulations and thanks for the fabulous content you produce in your videos! I like your technical analysis, your way to find solutions and answers that required a lot of thinking and your well writen scripts! You seems to do this effortlessly because the result is neat, articulated, well explained and very fun to watch. As a content producer myself, I know the hard work and dedication it represents to deliver such good videos! Bravo! I'm not a native english langage guy but when I watch your videos, I don't need to pause or rewing too much for the sake of understanding. This is SO GREAT! I think that having a female and male perspective is a tremendously refreshing! Your video are really useful and fun to watch. So thanks, thanks, thanks! Love! ❤

somehow I feel sad when Momota is not on the podium. however, credit to Viktor, he is a great player

there is absolutely no way he hits a shuttle cock at 400km/h , the average PGA pro hits his driver at 250km/h ballspeed

2012 lee chong wei enters chat:

who learned some " badminton insight" and from "Viktor Axelsen in this video"?

Victor is not infallible

hes also like 6'3

Victor is my favorite player after Lin dan

Best for the moment and I'd say a few inches shorter he may not be so successful.

While respecting Viktor for all his commitment and achievements, I feel really sad for Kento Momota who has been beating Viktor quite easily until 2020 Jan when he faced the fatal accident. I witnessed myself at Japan at the Japan open the semi betweek Momota and Viktor where Momota beat him quite comfortably. Momota was unbeatable at that time its very unlucky that he met with the accident, and then out of the game for a long time. His return to the game has not been the expected level, but I still hope Momota will be back to his usual form sooner

A player's greatness is also defined by the greatness of his rivals. Lin Dan was the greatest as he was on top of another all time great LCW..

Now with Kento Momota out of the picture, there is no one to challenge Victor . Victor was really helpless in front of Momota and literally use to cry. Yes currently he is #1 in ranking. But definitely can't be called the best player of the era.

Really love the analysis done by Greg and Jenny..so much to learn from your content.

Thank you very much !

Why Viktor is so good? Because he's not from our planet.

With chen long retired and momota in a bad shape, there isn't actually anyone that can stop him🤣

I need to Increase just 1 feet 😩 to match his height 😄 🤣 😂

Viktor Axelsen badminton is good my badminton is bad cos ny diet bad i need my daily cheat day

how about LEe Chong Wei and Lin Dan
LCW and LD is the real best player of the world they are just retired

You are doing great job this helps me alot

He’s the Tim Duncan of badminton.

Lin Dan n Lee Chong Wai are the best badminton player in the world not Viktor Axelsen

His height and speed just godly

what racket do u guys use??

He started his career in the era of Lin dan and lee C. Wei but that time no one knows Axselsen bcoz ❓ Mention ur answer below 👇👇

Viktor Axelsen is not the best player in badminton Lee Chong Wei is the best with 700+ wins

Victor is not By birth badminton master
That's where everything becomes interesting nd inspiring jst becuz he wrks nd maintain soo much of consistent preparation which bought him winning streak

But sorry No Chen Long nor Lin Dan or Lee Chong v are above his level so he is not the best.

And why not take a look at loh ken yu beating axelson on World championship simply smoothly with ease.

Nd lee Zee jie nd Kento nd lot other failed to hold their form especially Vitidsarn or Lee Zee jia what if they get back to playing mode .

Whats you opinion on

Vitidsarn/lakshya sen/LiSeFng

Almost beaten every plays .

Above people best Victor nd other top players at such age .

What if Chen Long was not injured especially that hole on his leg .

Where would victor would have nd Chen Long was not evn playing somekinda international matches or mocks before Olympics yet he came to final with bearing so much pain due to injury below his feeet

Can you put Carlton aeroblade 10 batmiton racket

tall players definitely got better advantage........ like viktor or chen long

Because he is not human

Nice video always . I personally feel beyond all these , two words that describe Viktor - Hunger - to outperform & Desperation - to win more and more titles . That's what is making him the best on tour right now .

PLZ come to Hastings

Lin Dan and LCW have retired

Viktor. Yes he is good, but he is Impatient. Greater Players like Lee Chong Wei is better than him, LCW is patient, Viktor Axelsen has good Tactics and Smart, but he rushes the game. Players like LCW and LZJ trashed him with they’re tactics, they have the same tactics, LZJ also mentioned he thanked LCW for giving him his tactics against Momota and Axelsen. Just my Opinions but i think Viktor is also good! 😊😊

If it wasn't for Momota's car crash he wouldn't be number one!

@Badminton Insight Huge thanks for sharing wonderful analysis. I would like to request an analysis to do video on Kevin Sanjayan & Gideon helps doubles players alot

Big fan

Axelsen is a cheat code he is taller, longer wingspan, and long legs. I think if more western countries start playing badminton they will easily dominate the game

can you do on lee chong wei
