All England badminton: Lakshya Sen makes short work of Magnus Johannesen to set up clash with another Dane, Anders Antonsen

[ad_1] One reason why the allure of the All England endures in these parts of the world is that no Indian has won it for a long time. Since 2001.It’s one of four annual Super 1000s. But top Indians have just not nailed the big occasion, when others don’t bother pretending that it’s just another event, and are always looking to peak at it. Saina Nehwal made the final in 2015, but Carolina Marin properly crushed her title hopes. Perhaps the most audacious charge was made by Lakshya Sen in 2022 – beating Sourabh Verma, Anders Antonsen, Lu Guang Zu and Lee Zii Jia, before Viktor Axelsen imposed his monster game. But no matter what the prologue has been to this year, or what the projections in an Olympic year might be, Sen perennially threatens to cause a stir at the All E. Amongst all the In...
