Indian shuttlers have kept the country’s All England championships dream alive by reaching the semi-final round of the tournament. The World Championships bronze medallist Lakshya Sen advanced to the last four in the men’s singles event after getting a walkover from his Chinese opponent, Lu Guang Zu, in the quarterfinals of the tournament. Sen is set to take on Malaysia’s sixth seed Lee Zii Jia on Saturday for a spot in the all-important final.
Meanwhile, India Women’s doubles duo of Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly on Friday scripted history by progressing to the semi-final by defeating Korean second seeds Lee Sohee and Shin Seungchan 14-21 22-20 21-15.
Sen has come into this tournament after winning India Open in January and finishing runner-up at the German Open. If he somehow manages to win the prestigious All England Open championship, he will become only the third player from India to record this feat after Pullela Gopichand (2001) and Prakash Padukone (1980).
