Time for achievement for Christo Popov? After beating the Japanese Kodai Naraoka in straight sets (21-19, 21-8) in the semi-finals, the Frenchman will play his first final at the BWF World Tour Finals, which can be compared to the tennis Masters since they bring together the eight best players in the world, for his first appearance.
While he is still undefeated in this tournament with four victories in as many matches, the player from Fos-sur-Mer (n°8) will face the Chinese and world n°1 Shi Yu Qi who defeated the Thai and world n°2 Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the semi-final.
If he wins this Sunday, Christo Popov would make history by becoming the first Frenchman to win this prestigious title.
The World Tour Finals final between Christo Popov and Shi Yu Qi is scheduled for the 4th match of a session starting at 7 a.m. this Sunday, December 21. The meeting will be followed live on L’Équipe Live.
