Thank you for joining!

That's all we have from the Day 1 of the 2022 Hylo Open. Two matches with Indian representation with neither result going the nation's way. First, the mixed doubles pair of Tanisha Crasto and Ishaan Bhatnagar went down in straight games to the Chinese pair, and then Lakshya handed a drubbing.

Do join in to our coverage tomorrow as others start their campaign!

LAKSHYA LOSES

Was this result even in question? Lakshya Sen goes down 12-21, 5-21 to a lower ranked Ng Ka Long Angus in mere 26 minutes. Thankfully he did manage to steal a couple of points in the latter half of the second game.

This was simply poor from the Indian.

Lakshya has given up

Lakshya Sen has given this up. He is down 3-18 in the second game now and seems to be just simply going through the motions. No energy whatsoever from the Indian.

4 straight points for Angus

4 straight points for Angus post the interval as he extends his lead to 12 points. 15-3 the scoreline in his favour now.

Angus continues his domination

This does not look good for Lakshya at all. He trails 3-11 at the second mid-game break. The Indian is struggling like anything.

Angus takes the lead

Not the best of starts to the second game for Lakshya as he looks to be lacking in confidence. Angus takes an early 3-1 lead.

Lakshya surrenders Game 1

That's a tame surrender to say the least. Lakshya looking far from his best as he loses the first game 12-21 in just 13 minutes. Can he bounce back?

Not going Lakshya's way

He is really struggling out in the middle right now, is Lakshya. Ng Long is just making him run around the court at the moment. Trails 8-16.

Sen on the backfoot

Not a very ideal start this for Lakshya Sen as he trails 6-12 in the first game. He is yet to find his rhythm as Ng toys with him.

Tight start!

A very competitive start to this contest with both players making a couple of errors. 2-2 for now.
