Thomas Cup Semi-finals HIGHLIGHTS: India defeats Denmark to enter finals — Scores, Updates, Medal, Blog
Here's a look at the H2H between Lakshya and Axelsen
Lakshya has been able to defeat Axelsen only once so far - can he do it again for Team India?
Did you know? Lakshya Sen has trained with Viktor Axelsen earlier!
In 2021, Lakshya went over to Dubai where Viktor lives and has trained with him and the likes of Loh Kean Yew and ever since that, Lakshya Sen has been a changed man, learning from the very bests in the business.
Let's hope he puts those learning to good use today again and gets India into the winning momentum!
And we are set to begin in just a few minutes!
Ready or not, the action is all set to start in just under 10 minutes as we prepare ourselves for the first sensational clash of the day.
It is Lakshya Sen vs Viktor Axelsen, of course, as the duo are set to meet after the All England finals.
Sen was quite heartbroken after he lost to Viktor at All England and today, Lakshya will look to pick up his form and repeat his victory against Viktor - a feat he achieved during the German Open.
Let's hope for the best!
India will be on the lookout for revenge against Denmark today!
Interestingly, India lost to Denmark in the Thomas Cup quarter-finals in the previous edition of the World Team Championships and today with a final luring ahead of them and the gold medals calling out to them - India will be hungry for revenge and this team is already in red-hot form to take on Viktor Axelsen and Co.!
Here's what happened last time:
Ahem, ahem, but here's to looking forward to what's coming up!
If your nerves were in a bad state yesterday from that 3-2 finish against Malaysia, our heart says we are in for a tough time today as well with Lakshya Sen taking on Olympic gold medallist and World No. 1 Viktor Axelsen in the opener.
We will just rewind to the German Open in March where our Sen had defeated the Danish giant and created history - feast your eyes!
It hasn't been a day yet and our nerves are already tingling with excitement!
Since we are still not over this moment when HS Prannoy created history for us, here is a flashback!
Get, set and brace yourselves - we have a thriller on our plates!
Playing the semi-finals for the first time since 1979, the Indian men's team are on the lookout to make some more history and will need all the stars to align for them today as they take on a formidable Danish side!
Let's go, boysss!
