Lakshya troubled by back issues, Satwik-Chirag return with solid win & Aakarshi, Unnati nick one set off Chinese top names

Published by Webster

A persistent lower back issue is making Lakshya Sen’s outings at the top level of competition a stop-start affair. On Wednesday at the Singapore Open Super 750, India’s top men’s singles shuttler was again forced to end his stay after the troublesome back flared up. Playing the turbo-charged Taiwanese Lin Chun-Yi, Sen did well to take the opener 21-15 and even caught up at 17-17 from 12-15 down in the second. But he needed repeated medical treatment requests and simply couldn’t continue leading to yet another Round 1 exit, this time from mid-match retirement. He trailed 21-15,17-21, 13-5 with severely restricted movement. “Lakshya had to retire from his Singapore Open match due to lower back pain and spasm,” father DK Sen told The Indian Express adding it was a recurring problem. “He had similar issues during practice last Saturday. Despite trying his best, he wasn’t fully fit. We’ll focus on his recovery now,” he added. Story continues below this ad FILE: Lakshya Sen in action.

All England: Aakarshi Kashyap lacks strength, firepower in tame, straight-set opening match loss | Badminton News

Published by Webster

Aakarshi Kashyap thought she was in the game till 13-14 in her first round against Pai Yu Po. Then on the most prestigious stage of the All England, came the most predictable ending – a 21-16, 21-11 loss in 37 minutes. The World No 43, technically India’s No 2 in women’s singles, knew how the 37 minutes looked – forgettable. “People see us only on court. They don’t know how tough it is before and after the match,” she says about the struggle to raise her game to match the biggest competitive stages and most scorching spotlights. The new grey courts of the All England get a fine mauve hue, looking quite fetching. The winning performances and splash of colour of international stars gleams in stark relief. PV Sindhu hurried through a first set win before Yvonne Li conceded at 21-10. HS Prannoy got followers worried about yet another early exit, going down 21-14, 13-21, 13-21 to Su Li Yang. Though progress on his gut issues and how he regains court-speed will be minutely followed …
