Another player who could feature in the same category as Momota, Viktor Axelson also seems to have grown as a player in the last 12-15 months. The Dane finished as the runner-up at the India Open on Sunday and at th Dubai Superseries Finals in December defeated Chen Long in the semifinals of the Dubai Superseries Finals. He had to endure a tough defeat at the hands of Xue Song at the All England Championships at the uarterfinal stage and will hope to go past that stage at this Superseries Premier event at Shah Alam.
His opening round opponent will be Sho Sasaki of Japan.
