Defending champion and world number one Kento Momota battled past former number one Viktor Axelsen to reach the Fuzhou China Open semi-finals on Friday.

The 25-year-old Japanese, who is chasing a 10th title of 2019, suffered a second-game wobble before winning 21-18, 12-21, 21-16 in their quarter-final.

Momota will play Axelsen's fellow Dane Rasmus Gemke, who is unseeded, in the last four on Saturday.

Victory for the all-action Momota, the reigning two-time world champion, was his 13th in 15 matches against Axelsen, now ranked sixth in the world.

"I'm getting closer and closer," the 25-year-old Axelsen, whose career has recently been disrupted by injury, said after forcing Momota to three games.
