Lakshya Sen the man who could reach the zenith

Lakshya Sen, the player who could soar to the apex, won the India Open. India Open, Lakshya Sen of India plays a shot during the men's singles badminton match against Prannoy H. S. of India on Tuesday, January 17, 2023, in New Delhi, during the India Open 2023. Ask Lakshya Sen about his colleagues Top Tenners from his junior year, Kunlavut Viditsarn and Kodai Naraoka, who frequently advance to tournament finals while he struggles with early departures. "Thodisi jalan hoti hai," he says while making a subtle grimace. He's a little bit envious. Self-awareness is a result of such acceptance; he is conscious that he needs to make up ground on his classmates.

To the question of whether Viktor Axelsen is leagues above everyone, Sen replies that the Dane is reliable "right now," but not invincible. No opponent is too powerful to overcome. His goals go beyond simply turning the tables on opponents as he beats HS Prannoy in the India Open Super 750, winning 21-14, 21-15. He is attempting to defend the Indian championship. I'll continue where I left off from last year.

Aerodynamics provides a clearer explanation for why Lakshya Sen should be backed when competing for major championships at major tournaments. Larger venues with slower shuttles are used to welcome international heavyweights. Sen's defence is better off with slower shuttles because they lessen opponents' whirlwind attacks, like Prannoy's on Tuesday and Axelsen's back in Germany when he was defeated by the Indian good measure of the offseason. Sen's defence, which can even look spectacular in his reflexes when he has time on his hands, is also more effective. Everyone is aware of Lakshya's skill on the internet, Anup subsequently remarked. However, what stuck out tonight was how daring he was in taking chances, smashing when he noticed an opening.

The Lakshya display

Sen can rally Indian supporters to his cause and pack venues, but he made a joke about how happy he was to be playing a Dane after having to share Prannoy in Round One. So I'll have the crowd's complete backing, not just some of it! However, the ideal place to watch a Sen spectacular is from across the stadium while seated in the stands parallel to or square to the net.
