Who has impressed this year in men’s singles?

Vittinghus on this year’s surprise player: - He has taken a step up to join the very best

By Emma Hansen Toft

Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus had no doubts about sharing his opinion on who had been this year’s very best men’s singles player. Read his answer to who has left a particularly impressive impact on the 2022 men’s singles category.

Who has been this year’s best men’s singles player? - It shouldn’t come as any surprise that I have chosen Viktor Axelsen. Viktor has been in a complete class of his own. He exerted dominance time and time again. He has lost just one match this year. Otherwise, he has won everything else in which he has played. He has won the major tournaments and the three major Super 1000 tournaments and is the defending world champion and Olympic champion. He’s won almost everything in which he’s played. For Viktor, this year has been very close to the perfect year.

Who has been this year’s greatest surprise in men’s singles? - Lakshya Sen from India. My choice is mainly because of how he played in the first third of 2022. He started out really strong, in fact, much stronger than I had thought. He has stepped up to join the best men’s singles players. He is also the only player to have beaten Viktor this year (the semi-final at the German Open, ed). He won the India Open. He was in the finals of the German Open and the All England. He played an important role in India’s triumph at the Thomas Cup.

Who has come on the most this year in men’s singles? - Kodai Naraoka from Japan. Currently number 24th in the world rankings, he has played in the finals at the Korea Masters, Singapore Open and Taipei Open. I feel as though he sort of just came out of thin air. We saw him pretty much for the very first time last autumn, and at that time, I certainly had no idea that he would suddenly make it into the finals of some of the biggest tournaments.

Outside the Top 20, who should we keep an eye on next year? - It seemed obvious to choose myself, but I chose Li Shi Feng from China. When playing, there are bursts of genius that show how he has the potential to play against the very best players in the world. We also saw him beat Anders Antonsen at the Thomas Cup. He still needs to work on being more consistent, but I think we’re seeing some play that he has great potential for more. I imagine that he will enjoy much greater success within a year to a year and a half.
