Badminton World Tour Finals, Semi-finals LIVE - Lakshya Sen faces Axelsen challenge - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog
Follow us for all the LIVE updates from the semifinal of the Badminton World Tour Finals.
Welcome to The Bridge's LIVE Blog from the semifinals of the Badminton World Tour Finals
India started the World Tour Finals campaign with a total of seven players - their biggest contingent in history. While the men's doubles of duo of Satwik-Chirag pulled out of the event due to an injury, the women's doubles of Ashwini-Sikki and men's singles star Kidambi Srikanth failed to make it to the knockouts.
Only two Indian shuttlers survive now, the usual suspect PV Sindhu and a rather lucky Lakshya Sen, who made it out of the group of death. Both of them will be in action today. Can either of them assure India of a medal?
Stay tuned for all the latest updates!the

Lakshya Sen has never been able to take even a game off Axelsen!
So far, Lakshya Sen hasn't really been able to cause much of a stir when against the current World No. 1 Viktor Axelsen. It remains to be seen if today a well-rested Sen can make the most of it against a more-tired Axelsen.
