: World number seven Kodai Naraoka is one step away from becoming the first Japanese to win the men’s singles title at the Malaysia Open badminton championships here.

For the record, the longest badminton match ever played was the 2016 Badminton Asia Championships women’s doubles semi-finals between Japan’s Kurumi Yonao-Naoko Fukuman and Greysia Polii-Nitya Krishinda Maheswari of Indonesia that lasted 161 minutes. He had previously eliminated home favourites Lee Zii Jia and Ng Tze Yong in the first and second rounds respectively before ousting HS Prannoy of India in yesterday’s quarter-finals, with all the matches going into rubber games for a total of 362 minutes spent on court.

Axelsen has won all three matches against Naraoka, although Japanese almost stunned the Dane in their last meeting before losing 23-21, 19-21, 18-21 in an epic 83-minute semi-final battle in the World Tour Finals last month.
