India's top men's singles player Lakshya Sen recovered from an early setback to launch his BWF World Championships 2026 campaign with a 16-21, 21-8, 21-4 victory over Austria’s Collins Filimon in the men’s singles Round of 64 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on Tuesday.

The Indian, seeded 14th, who needed 45 minutes to complete the comeback, found another gear after dropping the opening game and thereafter barely allowed his opponent into the contest.
