2022 Yonex All-England Badminton Championships
Just before the start of the 2022 Yonex All-England Badminton Championships the Badminton World Federation (BWF) announced their decision because of the escalating conflict in Ukraine to exclude all players, coaches and technical officials from Russia and Belarus from sanctioned tournaments. As a direct result of this, seven Russian players who had entered the Yonex All-England were excluded and were replaced by other players on the reserve list.
Viktor Axelsen the Danish Olympic champion playing in his 4th consecutive Yonex All-England men’s singles final had a comparatively easy win in straight sets 21-10, 21-15 against the young 20-year-old Indian Lakshya Sen. This would be the second time Viktor had lifted the famous men’s singles trophy.
