All England Open Live: Lakshya Sen enters quater-final!
Lakshya Sen won the deciding game against Anders Antonsen 21-14 to enter the quater-final of men's singles.
Lakshya Sen will be action up next, as far as the Indian challenge is concerned. He will square off with Denmark's Anders Antonsen in the men's singles second round tie.
Se-young is cruising! The point gap is now 8 and she only needs a handful to secure her passage into the next round. For the unversed, Se-young won the BWF French Open title last week in Paris.
The Korean top seed has opened up a three-point gap at the mid-way break over Sindhu, who seems to be struggling with her netplay and drop shots. Se-young has been all over her so far.
1-0 Se-young! Tremendous rally to get us underway. Sindhu does well to force the Korean with a drop shot, but pull her final shot just wide of the tramline
