Israeli Misha Zilberman has fallen to Denmark’s Viktor Axelsen in men’s singles badminton play in Paris, essentially eliminating him from medal contention.
Zilberman loses 21-9 21-11 in the Group P match in Paris, leaving him at the bottom of the group table alongside Nepal’s Prince Dahal, who he will face on Wednesday for an ultimately meaningless match.
On Saturday, Zilberman lost 21-17 19-21 21-13 to Ireland’s Nhat Nguyen, who will now face Axelsen for a chance to win the group and move to the Round of 16.
