All England Open: Sen in quarters, Prannoy loses to Momota
Birmingham, March 18 (Ians) India's Lakshya Sen progressed to the men's singles quarter-finals of the prestigious All England Open badminton tournament on Thursday. Sen beat France's Thomas Rouxel 21-18, 21-17.
Sen will now face either Ireland's Nhat Nguyen, who beat Kidambi Srikanth on Wednesday, or Netherland's Mark Caljouw. His result has been the high point for Indians thus far on Day 2 of the Super 1000 tournament with H.S.
