Goal is to go deep into the tournament, says Sen ahead of World C’ship opener

NEW DELHI: (Aug 16) Lakshya Sen has endured a largely inconsistent year barring his memorable runners-up finish at the prestigious All England Championships, but the world No. 14 Indian is determined to make a deep run at the BWF World Championships, which begin here on Monday.

Sen, a bronze medallist at the 2021 World Championships, is among India’s leading hopes in the men’s singles draw and is eager to make the most of the home advantage as the showpiece returns to the country after 17 years.

It has been a mixed season for Sen, who reached the final of the All England Championships but has struggled for consistency in other tournaments. However, the 24-year-old remains focused on making a strong impact at the World Championships.
