Former world No. 1 Victor Axelson added the coveted All England Open title to his growing trophy collection after beating Chou Tien Chen in the men’s singles final here today.

The second-seeded Dane, who had lost to Kento Momota in last edition’s final, beat top seed Chou of Chinese Taipei 21-13 21-14 in 46 minutes.

The 6 feet 4 inches tall Axelson, who had a quiet 2019 after suffering a back injury, has already won two titles this year.

The 26-year-old added the All England Open title to his World Championships gold in 2017.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
