Lakshya Sen delivered a clinical performance to enter the quarterfinals of the All-England Open Badminton Championships, securing a dominant straight-game win over Indonesia's Jonathan Christie (21-13, 21-10) in Birmingham on Thursday. The Indian shuttler, known for his swift footwork and precise shot-making, dismantled the world No. 4 in just 36 minutes, keeping India's hopes alive in the prestigious tournament. Sen, who reached the All-England final in 2022, looked in complete control from the start, using his aggressive play and sharp net game to unsettle Christie. The 22-year-old Indian dictated the pace of the match, taking an early lead and maintaining his advantage throughout.
