Lakshya Sen fought tooth and nail in this match - but Loh Kean Yew simply persevered!

Brilliant stuff from Lakshya Sen - we have a very bright future ahead in Indian badminton with Sen around! 

Chin up, Sen, come back stronger! 

Loh Kean Yew does it - but what a thriller, my god!

Loh Kean Yew takes 46 minutes to sail into the Finals, 21-18, 21-12! My God! What a thriller, this was!! 

Loh Kean Yew is all pumped up here - Lakshya nets his smash, ugh!

ANOTHER 40 SHOT RALLY!

This math has been plain gruelling and Loh Kean Yew has a 7 point cushion here in Game 2. Extremely difficult for Lakshya to come back here but we are in the mood to be surprised, let's go!!
