BWF World C’ship: Lakshya Sen Makes Early Exit With A Straight-game Defeat
BWF World Championship: Lakshya Sen’s poor run continued on Monday as the Indian shuttler lost in straight sets against World No.1 and reigning All-England champion Shi Yu Qi of China in the BWF World Championship. Sen’s campaign lasted a total of 54 minutes as he succumbed to a 17-21, 19-21 defeat, bringing an end to another disappointing campaign at the tournament, after having previously won the bronze medal in 2021.
After a tightly-contested match saw the scores tied at 11-11 in the opening game, Shi Yu, who is unbeaten in nine finals this season, took things in his grip and went on to secure a 21-17 win.
The Chinese shuttler flew out of the floodgates in the second game and was leading 14-9 at one stage, but a tough fightback by the 24-year-old Indian saw him crawl back before he gave up points while making unforced errors, eventually facing defeat.
