Eating humble pie here, i always felt CTC was overrated, a one trick pony, lacking racket skills required at the top level and tactical know how or another gear in the heat of battle, but fair do’s to him he played really well today.

@@emersonlee9968 Yes, he lacks the variety or deception in his kit bag, although he’s hit a purple patch in the last couple of tournaments, especially at the net, his game is very one dimensional and power based. As for his age, it’s got nothing to do with his underachievement, the CTC of 2023 is no different to a younger 2015 CTC, although Victoria is doing a good job cheerleading from the sidelines, I feel he could do with a good coach presence in his corner, he doesn’t seem to have the ability to problem solve, he is clueless,great players like Chen Long and G.O.A.T Lin Dan have the ability to work things out and change things during the game albeit with the help of coach during and game changeover, don’t get me wrong CTC is still a very good player, just not crème de la crème.

It's quite obvious that VA is not at his best. Many errors on attack, and slow responses in defense. However, taking nothing away from Chou. He was brilliant today.

. Congrats CTC. I wasn't expecting this win Great defense. Rooting in the final 🏆 To win VA..defense,net play,body smashing

My jaw has dropped... what is this amazing play Chou Tien Chen?

Not surprised CTC could win this match if you watched his previous match. He’s in superb form. Hope he can keep it up! He moves so effortlessly around the court. He never looks like he’s in a rush.

Chou was composed, confident, and relax. An easy win, maybe not and both had given the best. VA was a bit frustrating throughout the whole game, otherwise it could be a good fight. Hats off to Chou, he came with determination 👍

Congratulations, CTC! Chou’s touch to shuttle looks very softy with relaxing when he receives smash. And footwork is very smooth and receiving net shot earlier.

Both semifinal matches were quite unexpected, not gonna lie

Congrats to CTC for this win. Good luck tomorrow for the title.

what a fking monster. absolutely impeccable performance from chou. i mean once you saw that 360 spin defence, you'd know nothing was going to stop him today, my lord.

CTC gave a masterclass by exploiting every weakness of Axelsen.

CTC net play is solid most of the net battles in this match CTC wins either by setting up a smash/overhead or by outplaying VA straight up at the net

Considering head to head 16-2 in favour of Ax. and also that the lenght of the video is only 40 minutes (not enought for a three game match) I honeslty thought that it's going to be a CTC demolition by Ax. Quite surprising, congrats CTC.

CTC one jump smash very cool and powerful!!!!!!!!!!!!! i like it

What happened at 8:40 - in the middle of a focused rally suddenly a voice in the micro : should not be allowed!

Congrats to Chou Tien Chen, he was superb today. I don't know what's happening with Victor, having lost in the 2nd round of last week's big tournament against Ng Tze Yong who ranked 25 places below him and now losing by a big margin in the semi-final in two straight games.

CTC looking smooth and playful at the net in this match, he got a nice read on Axelsen attacks but was also able to smash with good accuracy. Axelsen looking a bit sluggish, usually his defense is very good to cover the body shots but today the reaction time was off.

Chou winning in 2 sets, and vs Viktor. ?! What year is it? Jokes aside, I really hope CTC with this title.

Axelsen did great, put up a good fight. He is indeed in the great condition, but CTC's defense is just top notch in this match. What a great performance from both player. 👏

Wow CTC, it's incredible👌🤩🤩

Crazy win!!!!!!😮

Trận đấu tuyệt vời của Chou Tien Chen.

Viktor played LCW and CL after their peaks, as their careers were winding down - So it's not correct to say that they were at their peak. Although they never played Viktor 2022, they still played Viktor 2016/17 which isn't that far off. Viktor 2022 would still regularly lose 80% of the time against 2007-2013 LCW and 2010-2015 CL.

CTC played incredibly well but also I think Axelsen has some kind of injury, his movement looks very different from usual it seems he's trying to avoid using one of his legs.

While watching this game, Victor did not know he was going to loose.

What's happening with Axelsen is he injured? suddenly not playing well that's 2 tournaments in a row losing bad. Chou played well.

Everyone reaches a point where things start not coming so easily. It's a bit worrying I hope he will still be able to piece together some championship wins but last few weeks, he wasn't the same Viktor we all know.

Hoping Viktor bounces back, because without him at the top, no one else seems consistent.

Signs were evident when he nearly lost to Popov a few weeks ago and broke a racket in anger. He had a good run, now it's over, he is no longer invincible. But congratulations on a superb career.
