Lakshya Sen wins seventh career title at Hylo Open
Indian badminton player Lakshya Sen secured his seventh career title at the Hylo Open on Sunday, defeating World No 6 Jonatan Christie 21-17, 21-10. Sen, currently ranked 14th globally, overcame a mid-game slump in the first set to claim victory. Despite leading 18-10, he allowed himself to become complacent, only to regain focus and clinch the win.
Christie, who lost 4-3 head-to-head against Sen prior to this match, was struggling with his shot placement. However, Sen's superior skills shone through as he executed precise strokes and strategic net movements, putting Christie under pressure. This win marked Sen's first title of the year following a string of early exits from tournaments.
