August 05, 2022 01:13

World championships bronze medallist Lakshya Sen eased to an emphatic 21-1, 21-6 victory against Vernon Smeed of St Helena to advance to the badminton men's singles round of 16 at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Sen was up against an opponent more than twice his age -- 45-year-old Smeed -- but the Indian youngster proved to be unstoppable.

However, it was curtains for Ashwini Ponnappa and B Sumeeth Reddy, who suffered a 18-21, 16-21 loss to world number 47 Callum Hemming and Jessica Pugh in the opening round of mixed doubles competition.
