- LIVE: Paris Olympics 2024: Lakshya Sen vs Viktor Axelsen Badminton Semi Final LIVE Score | N18L
Lakshya Sen is a win away from creating history. The rising India shuttler has shown the determination and grit at the ongoing Paris Olympics needed from someone aiming to win gold. He’s dominated his opponents as well as forced to dig deep en route to the semi-final clash where he now faces a massive challenge in reining Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen of Denmark.
Making his Olympics debut, Lakshya has already created history by becoming the first ever Indian male shuttler to reach the last four of a singles event. He achieved the feat beating Chinese Taipei’s Chou Tien Chen in an intense quarterfinal match 19-21, 21-15, 21-12.
Axelsen, 30, won the Tokyo gold and Rio bronze apart from two world championship titles in 2017 and 2022, a Thomas Cup triumph in 2016 and multiple BWF world tour and Superseries titles to experience a dominating run as world No. 1 from December 2021 to June 2024.
Sen, a 2021 World championships bronze medallist, has lost seven times to the super Dane, who faced defeat just once against the Indian at the 2022 German Open.
Sen, 22, has shown little to no respect for the past records against his higher-ranked opponents so far as he plotted the downfall of world number 4 Jonatan Christie in the group stage and Chou, ranked 11, in the quarters.
Axelsen has looked a tad subdued this season with just one title at the Malaysia Masters. The Dane also suffered an ankle injury in early June during the Singapore Open and was forced to withdraw from the Indonesia Open.
Sen, on the other hand, hasn’t looked fitter in his career. He has been rock solid in his defence as he covered the court well and played at a high pace. His ability to produce winners at will has held him in good stead.
A semifinalist gets two chances to return with a medal. A win will keep Sen on course for Indian badminton’s maiden Olympic gold, while a loss will give him a shot at the bronze medal in the play-offs.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von Axelsen. Einfach top dieser Spieler !!!🎉
I mean the guy literally defeated Lin Dan in 2016 Olympics. What more experience you need?
It was a battle between two "Sen"s. On this day, Lakshya had more hesitation than Axel.
Axelsen pasti bisa mempertahankan gelarnya medali emas
