India Open Badminton: Lakshya Sen Crashes Out As India's Campaign Comes To An End
BWF World Tour Super: India's campaign in the home BWF World Tour Super 750 tournament, India Open 2026, came to a premature end with the last home hope, Lakshya Sen, crashing out of the men's singles quarterfinals, losing in three games at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex in New Delhi on Friday.
Sen, who was India's lone hope in the event after PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth, and H.S Prannoy fell by the wayside in earlier rounds, went down to Chinese Taipei's World No 12 Lin Chun-Yi. Sen, who is ranked 14th in the BWF Rankings, went down 21-17, 13-21, 18-21 in just over one hour in India's top BWF competition.
In Friday's quarterfinal clash, Sen kept pace with Lin Chun-Yi till the very end but fell short in the final exchanges as he went down in three games. Sen won the opening game against Lin but then struggled from the faster side of the court to go down 17-21, 21-13, 21-18 in the men’s singles quarterfinals.
