What a comeback from Christo Popov! 🇫🇷🔥

After losing the opening game against world number one Shi Yu Qi 🇨🇳, the Frenchman turned the match around, winning 14-21, 21-10, 21-11 to book his place in the Japan Open semifinals.

Back in the final four for a second consecutive year in Tokyo, Popov will face Kodai Naraoka 🇯🇵 for a place in the final. 👊
