BANGKOK, May 13 — Badminton world champ Viktor Axelsen fended off a gutsy assault from South Korea’s Heo Kwang-hee in a three-game thriller at Thailand’s Thomas Cup on Thursday night.

In the second, Heo, 26, stayed on the Tokyo Olympic gold medallist’s tail but some electrifying jump smash shots from Axelsen helped him mount a comeback and equalise: 21-17. “I’m not really satisfied with my own performance today. But I’ve got to say my opponent made it hard for me,” Axelsen said, praising Heo’s attack and overall game.

Malaysia and India were contenders for the remaining berth, as sixth-ranked Lee Zii Jia was victorious over his Indian counterpart Lakshya Sen, who is ninth in the world: 23-21, 21-9. Spurred on by a rowdy crowd, eighth-ranked Intanon — a former world champion — fought back from one game down to beat Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist Sindhu 18-21, 21-17, 21-12, as Thailand defeated India 3-0.“I know she is an attacking player... I was trying to be myself,” Intanon told reporters.
