It was a Super Sunday for shuttler Lakshya Sen. The World Championships bronze medallist won his maiden Super 500 title by clinching the Yonex-Sunrise India Open by defeating reigning world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore. U Vimal Kumar, Sen`s coach at the Prakash Padukone Academy in Bangalore, hailed the youngster for showing his maturity on the court in his 24-22, 21-17 win.
"I would give full credit to Lakshya for this win. Loh was not allowed to use his smashes as Lakshya varied the pace. If you look at the rallies, Loh couldn’t dictate. He did run out of ideas. In fact, Lakshya had grueling games in his last two matches, whereas Loh got a walkover in the semi-finals. Both the games Lakshya was dictating the rallies and was on top," Vimal Kumar told www.mid-day.com after Sen`s stunning win on Sunday.
