Couldn’t happen to a kinder person, seriously. For some backstory, he held an exhibition in BC around two years ago, and given that it might have been the only chance I’d ever get to see Axelsen play (I’m not going to travel all the way to Malaysia…), I had to go, it was on my birthday too. After the match, he was signing autographs and taking pictures with people for a full hour, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to get one.  Right as he was about to leave, I took one last ditch effort at it by saying loudly “WAIT VIKTOR, IT’S BIRTHDAY”, wasn’t really expecting much as he was probably quite tired, but to my surprise I was wrong. He not only came over to me to wish me a happy birthday, but he also autographed my Axelsen shirt, and took a picture with me. I still have fond memories of that day
