Badminton

Re-live updates from the fourth day of action at badminton's World Tour Finals in Bangkok, Thailand, on Saturday 10 December 2022.

After winning the first I wasn’t in a hurry, read the game and used the entire court. But she got back in the game and I panicked, which led to errors and her closing the gap. Although I have been consistently making finals, but in the end, I didn’t play up to my standard". Every player here is in top eight and everybody wants to win". We had to exercise more control of the shuttle. Tai trailed 11-5 in the second set before going on to win seven of the next eight points to even the match. I simply focused on trying to get back in it and she made some mistakes that helped me win the game. "He’s better than me and has won this event many times so I wanted to take the first game. You have to be able to win when everything is not coming together so I was happy to get the win today. Axelsen came from behind to beat the tour's most promising player in Naraoka 21-23, 21-19, 21-18 and will play Ginting for his third championship. I had a chance but I failed to captialise which is frustrating. There was everything in this match - temper, both the good and the bad, good plays, the mental game.
