Lakshya Sen marked a triumphant return to form, claiming his first title of the season at the Australian Open Super 500. The 24-year-old Indian shuttler defeated Japan's Yushi Tanaka 21-15, 21-11 in a dominant 38-minute performance on Sunday. Sen, a 2021 World Championships bronze medalist, had been struggling to regain momentum after a disappointing fourth-place finish at the Paris Olympics. However, this victory has breathed new life into his campaign. With this win, Sen became only the second Indian to claim a BWF World Tour title this season, following Ayush Shetty's Super 300 triumph at the US Open. Sen's path to victory was paved by his crisp control, precise placement, and efficient execution, as he outplayed the world No. 26 Tanaka without dropping a game. This win comes as a significant boost to Sen's career, and it remains to be seen how he will capitalize on this momentum in the future.
