By IANS News March 07, 2026 • 22:09 PM View: 405

Lakshya Sen became only the second Indian player to reach the men's singles final of the All-England Open badminton championship twice when he overcame Canada’s Victor Lai in a gruelling semifinal in Birmingham on Saturday.

The 24-year-old, who had also reached the summit clash in 2022, not only overcame a spirited Lai but also blisters in his right toe to win 21-16, 18-21, 21-15 in an hour and 37 minutes.
