India's Lakshya Sen advanced to the second round of the badminton world championships 2022 after defeating Hans-Kristian Vittinghus of Denmark 21-12, ...

At 11-15, Vittinghus made Lakshya twist and turn with his angled returns to win a point, but he was too erratic to put any pressure on his opponent. In the mid-game interval of second game, Lakshya again managed a four-point advantage after Vittinghus sent one wide, and slapped his head in frustration. Vittinghus kept testing the Indian by engaging him in fast-paced rallies, one of which was of 31 shots, but Lakshya used his winners to finish them off or the Danish miscued.

A week later, at the All England, he made a sensational run to the final, losing to Axelsen in a brilliant match. That’s partly to do with Sindhu’s absence, partly the form of Indian players who are actually at the tournament, and partly the form of some top players in the world who will be using the worlds as a comeback platform. Prannoy has had an interesting year leading up to the worlds—at the beginning of 2021, he was almost out of reckoning on the global stage, close to quitting the game altogether, before he began to pull things back, beating Olympic champion Victor Axelsen at the Indonesia Masters in 2021, and making it to the quarterfinals at the last world championships, where he was beaten by the eventual champion, Loh. Consider that Marin, who missed the Tokyo Olympics and the 2021 World Championships in her hometown Huelva, Spain, is staging a comeback after a serious knee injury in 2020. Unfortunately, that’s the reality as the BWF Worlds got underway today at the Metropolitan Gymnasium in Tokyo, with India’s prolific star—the first Indian to win a world championship when she grabbed the title in 2019—ruled out of the tournament with a stress fracture to her foot. Then, after a period where Sindhu began to truly develop into the world-beating player we know today, came the dominating run to three successive world championship finals: in 2017, in one of the finest battles she has ever been a part of, Sindhu lost the final to Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara.

Hopefully I can play much better in the second round". I’m used to carrying pressure on my shoulders; it’s part of the game." "Right now I’m obviously a little disappointed that I didn’t get the match into three sets. I think I tried to show off too much playing in front of a crowd for the first time in a while. Sikki have already taken the first game 21-7 vs Aminath Nabeeha Abdul Razzaq/Fatimath Nabaaha Abdul Razzaq. But I knew this going into the tournament. It feel great to be back in Tokyo again". My body feels really good so I want to do well in the next one. The world No. I tell myself that every time I’m out there". "The next match will be a lot tougher so I want to be patient and play well. Otherwise just very happy with the way it went.
