India’s star shuttler Lakshya Sen has entered the pre-quarterfinals of the World Badminton Championships.
He easily defeated Luis Enrique Pereira of Spain 21-10, 21-17 in the second round of the championship.
The interesting thing about Lakshya Sen’s victory is that now he can face India’s HS Prannoy in the next match. The BWF World Championships are being played in Japan.
Lakshya Sen won the gold medal in the Commonwealth Games this month. For this reason, he is also considered a contender for the title in the World Badminton Championship.
In the second round of the World Championship, Lakshya faced world number 74, Luis Enrique Pereira.
Perera could not last long in front of a better-ranked player. Lakshya Sen defeated them in just 36 minutes. Lakshya’s current ranking is 10.
Ninth seed Lakshya Sen may face India’s HS Prannoy in the pre-quarterfinals. However, for this, HS Prannoy will have to win his match, which is not looking easy.
In the second round, HS Prannoy faces the challenge of world number two Kento Momota of Japan. Only the winner of the match between HS Prannoy and Kento Momota will clash with Lakshya.
