All England Open 2022 Finals HIGHLIGHTS: Lakshya Sen wins silver medal — Scores, Updates, Medal, Blog
The Mixed Doubles match is on and the sparks are flying everywhere!
It's a Japan vs China clash here at the Mixed Doubles final and Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino have really set things on fire here - what mad shots!
That graph should tell you just how crazy this match is panning out to be!
The Lakshya Sen vs Viktor Axelsen clash comes after this match!
Let's look at the head to head so far!
This will be the sixth career meeting between Lakshya Sen and Viktor Axelsen and dear Lord, are the stakes high!
So far, Lakshya has been able to have the last word on one occasion - a miracle awaits now if he is to do it a second time today and bag an elusive All England Open crown. Our fingers are crossed - this won't be easy, at all!
Meanwhile, food for thought - can an oddity be a blessing?
"During the ongoing All England Open 2022, the matches started showing on television but instead of regular, run-of-the-mill sports channels, it had transferred itself to the History TV 18. Well, History TV 18 isn't alone, the badminton matches are also being aired live on VH1 and MTV - chiefly music and entertainment channels. Quite the oddity, you say?
Well, given the history-making spree Lakshya Sen has been on, nothing can be more fit for this occasion!"

Now for some flashback? Here's what happened when Lakshya met Axelsen last!
Lakshya Sen crossed paths with World No. 1 and reigning Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen last week at the German Open 2022 in the semi-finals clash and my god, was that a thriller that had us biting at our nails non-stop!
Can't wait for today after watching this and hoping for a repeat? COUNT US IN TOO!
Meanwhile, Viktor Axelsen, the World No. 1 played another stunner too in the semis!
Viktor Axelsen, into his fourth-straight All England Open final today, played a classic against Chinese Taipei's Chou Tien Chen, the fourth-seeded player at the tournament and what a show was that!
Lakshya Sen pulled off a (you guessed it!) sensational performance in the semi-finals!
Lakshya, all of 20, has been on a giant-killing spree and yesterday was just another day at the office for the giant-slayer as he took out Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia, the defending champion in a brutal three-set encounter that was jaw-dropping for its entirety!
