China Masters: P.V. Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, Malvika Bansod Advance To Second Round
BWF World Tour Super: India’s badminton stars P.V. Sindhu, Lakshya Sen, and Malvika Bansod advance to the second round of the China Masters, a BWF World Tour Super 750 tournament, here on Wednesday.
In the men’s singles, Lakshya Sen recorded a significant victory against Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia in a rematch of their bronze-medal clash from the Paris Olympics. This time, the Indian emerged victorious, winning 21-14, 13-21, 21-13 in 57 minutes. The triumph ended Lakshya’s winless streak of four tournaments since the Paris Games and sets him up for a tough round-of-16 matchup against either Denmark’s Rasmus Gemke or Japan’s Kenta Nishimoto.
Malvika Bansod also impressed, surviving a grueling one-hour-14-minute thriller against Denmark’s Line Kjaersfeldt. The Indian shuttler triumphed 20-22, 23-21, 21-16 in a closely fought match, displaying remarkable grit and determination. She will face Thailand’s Supanida Katethong in the next round.
