Lakshya Sen Makes First Round Exit; Kidambi Srikanth, Mithun Manjunath Progress In Swiss Open

Commonwealth Games champion Lakshya Sen's woeful run continued as he made a first round exit at the Swiss Open badminton tournament, even as senior compatriot Kidambi Srikanth progressed to the next round of the BWF World Tour Super 300 event, here on Wednesday. The 2021 World Championships silver medallist Srikanth had to dig deep to get the better of China's Weng Hong Yang 21-16 15-21 21-18 to set up a second round clash against Hong Kong's Cheuk Yiu Lee, who dashed the hopes of world No.12 Sen. The eighth seeded Sen looked a pale shadow of himself as he failed to match the level of his rival, losing 18-21 11-21 to bow out of the men's singles competition.
