Christo Popov, the younger of the two brothers of French badminton (Toma junior), was eliminated on Tuesday in the round of 16 of the Worlds in Copenhagen by the reigning Olympic and world championDenmark’s Viktor Axelsen (21-6, 21-8).

This time, the 21-year-old blue badiste might not deprive the world No.1 of a set, at home, unlike the final of the European Games in early July in Tarnow (Poland), when he had snatched a third set before to bow.

Christo, who is ranked 31st in the world, is still in the doubles race with his brother Toma Popov, also still in contention in the singles draw where he must face the Japanese Kodai Naraoka in the 16th round on Wednesday.
