LAKSHYA TAKES GAME 1

Six points in a row for Lakshya Sen as he kills off the first game 21-15 in 19 minutes. Christie was looking good but lost his plot completely towards the end. Remember, the Indian was on the unfavourable end of the court in this game.

Can Lakshya wrap this up quickly?

Sen on the charge

Lakshya Sen showing some aggression now as he opens up a 15-12 lead.

Christie draws level

A stunning winner followed by some crafty play at the net helps Jonatan Christie draw level by winning three points in a row. 11-11.

Advantage, Lakshya

The longest rally of the match so far, with Christie hitting it long as we go into the mid-game break. Lakshya has been quite clearly the better player so far. The Indian has faced quite a few shots wide on either side of the court and would be itching to sort that out. 

11-8 lead for Lakshya Sen.

Sen with the lead

Lakshya Sen opens up an early lead at 5-3 as Christie struggles with multiple errors.
