In a resounding victory, India's top shuttler Lakshya Sen ended a long title drought, clinching his first trophy of the year at the $475,000 Australian Open in Sydney. The 24-year-old's dominant win over Japan's Yushi Tanaka in the men's singles final (21-15, 21-11) marked a triumphant return to form after a challenging season. Sen's journey to the top was not without its setbacks. He faced a difficult start to the year, plagued by injuries and inconsistent performance. However, the Almora-born shuttler refused to give up, channeling his energy into a resurgent second half of the season. "I'm thrilled to have finally broken through and secured a title," Sen said in a post-match interview. "It's been a tough season, but I've worked hard to get back on track, and it's great to see the results paying off.
