Both Lakshya and Vitidsarn have split their wins equally so far...

Interestingly, both 20-year-olds, Lakshya Sen and Kunlavut Vitidsarn have a neat rivalry already, with a history dating back to their not-too-ancient junior days.

Both Lakshya and Vitidsarn have met each other six times so far and both have won thrice, levelling their head-to-head at 3-3.

On their 7th meeting, it'll be curious to see who gets the better of the other.

Our money is of course, on Sen after phenomenal performances against Ginting, Prannoy and finally, Axelsen at the German Open 2022.

However, Vitidsarn is not to be underestimated, a 3-time World Junior champ as he is, and even here, he saw off an in-form Lee Zii Jia, the All England champ in the semis to set up the date with Lakshya!
