Who will Lakshya Sen face in the Badminton Men’s Singles Quarterfinal? Lakshya vs Axelsen head-to-head record and stats

Lakshya Sen became the first Indian male shuttler to qualify for the semifinals of the badminton event at the Olympic Games.

The 22-year-old beat Chinese Taipei’s Chou Tien Chen 19-21, 21-15, 21-12 in the quarters. Lakshya will next play on August 4.

He will face second-seed Viktor Axelsen from Denmark, who defeated Kean Yew Loh of Singapore 21-9, 21-17 in the final quarterfinal fixture.

Lakshya’s head-to-head record against Axelsen is not flattering. Axelsen has had the wood over Lakshya, having beaten him six times in seven encounters so far.
