Digital Desk: Lakshya Sen advanced
to the men's singles quarterfinals of the Denmark Open Super 750 badminton
competition in Odense after defeating senior compatriot HS Prannoy in straight
games. Sen, a bronze medalist at the 2021 World Championships, defeated world
number 13 Prannoy 21-9 21-18 in 39 minutes to go to the round of 16 against
Japan's Kodai Naraoka. The two had a 2-2 head-to-head record in four matches
prior to Thursday's match, but the younger Sen proved to be the better player
on the day, making a raucous start to put Prannoy on the back foot.
8th in the world, Sen jumped out to a 5-1 lead early on,
expanding it to 11-3 by halftime. As Prannoy's game disintegrated, he kept
moving ahead.
In the second game, Prannoy performed better, keeping his
opponent breathing down his neck with 5-4 and 11-10 leads. Things remained the
same after the break, however, Sen broke off at 17-17 to end Prannoy's run.
