Japanese badminton aces dominate Bali finals

Denpasar, Indonesia

World top shuttler Kento Momota knocked out Taiwan’s Chou Tien Chen on Saturday, tightening Japan’s stranglehold ahead of the final rounds of the Indonesia Masters.

Momota and Chou had a close semi-final in Bali, but the number one badminton player claimed a 21-19, 21-11 victory over Chou.

Momota, now the favourite to win the men’s singles trophy, will meet Danish Anders Antonsen in the finals on Sunday.—APP
