Danish badminton star Viktor Axelsen took to social media to announce that he would not be taking part at the BWF World Tour finals, set to be played in Hangzhou, China from December 13-17, 2024.
“I’m unfortunately unable to participate in the HSBC World Tour Finals this December. I’m dealing with an injury in my left foot, which is causing me a lot of issues and I have been advised to deal with this immediately in order to avoid long term problems,” Axelsen wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“I’m very disappointed not being able to play in Hangzhou. Having won the tournament five times and it being one of my favourite tournaments on the tour makes it a hard pill to swallow. However my first priority is to get 100 per cent healthy before I compete,” he added.
