This sounds paradoxical, but I think this is already a success. Axelsen is already trying to get every breather he can, has barely scored any winners and has benefitted a lot from KM's unusual error toll. A fit and confident Momota in a few months time will pose great problems for Axelsen again.
if it will go to 3 sets VA will not be able to handle it and it seems it is quite easy to defend from VA smashes after all
