At the Paris Olympics, Lakshya Sen, an Indian badminton player, won the men’s singles Group L match against Julien Carraggi of Belgium in straight sets.
In the men’s singles match of Group L at the current Paris Olympics, Lakshya Sen, an Indian badminton player, defeated Julien Carraggi of Belgium on Monday.
At the La Chapelle Arena, the Indian defeated the opponent in straight sets, 21-19, 21-14, during a contest that lasted 43 minutes. Even though Lakshya was down four points in the opening game, she came back to win the set.
He outperformed Carraggi and continued to dominate the second game. But Lakshya’s thrilling victory over Kevin Cordon of Guatemala on Sunday was wiped out when Cordon pulled out of the Olympics with a left elbow injury.
Consequently, Cordon will not play the forthcoming Group L matches against Jonatan Christie of Indonesia and Julien Carraggi of Belgium.
The outcome of the match between Lakshya Sen and Kevin Cordon was deleted from the records in compliance with the BWF General Competition Regulations for group stage play. Lakshya’s rating will now be decided by how he does in the two games that are left in Group L.
Lakshya had beaten Cordon 21-8, 22-20 on Saturday in a 42-minute match when Cordon withdrew. In barely 14 minutes, the Indian shuttler won the first game with a dominant performance.
In the second game, Cordon rallied and had four game points, but the 22-year-old Indian showed incredible fortitude by winning six straight points to win the match.
