Sen (India) and Vitidsarn (Thailand) surely will be in top 5 soon. Both performed pretty convincing in the recent tournaments.

Viktor, Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei are all contemporary masters and legend. Lakshya is new and has a long way to go. But we can say a star ⭐ is born. Good match.

[joenaik]

Very well played by Lakshya Sen. He will only learn from here!! Congratulations to Viktor.

Tomorrow (4th aug) they're playing in the semi final of olympics, I have the gut feeling that Lakshya is gonna win, also I'm praying for his win, hoping for the best❤🇮🇳

[PikachuFanRishabh]

Reaching finals at the age of 20, L.Sen has a very bright future 🇮🇳🙌.

im from malaysia and i like how sen is playing..he is a future champ in the of all indian player for me u r the best in up brother....salam

[torh]

Spectacular!! Sen is an amazing young man.. i wish to see him more and more..

[jaihyo]

It would be more interesting if the final between LZJ and Viktor. But nevermind kudos and happy for Lakshya Sen for his great performance. What a rising star🔥

[tusharvijay]

It was for the first time that lakshya was playing such a big match so it obvious he was nervous and secondly Viktor is at his best form and lakshya is just 20 there is some space for practice which he will cover with the time and experience...even Viktor back in 2019 lost to momota when he was playing the final of all England has very bright future ahead if he manages to keep his consistency .

[natajohn]

Viktor now played more carefully as he learned from his mistake last week against Lakshya.

[aniket]

As an Indian I can say Sen need to learn more, at present he is at top 5 for conquering World he need some powerful smashes as his defence and mental strength is already at next level.

[nrdl_nd]

Haha dah start dah nampak comments cakap itu ini pasal Sen. Masa lzj kalah kat sf fuh kemain eksyen lagi dorang kecam lzj ya. Now kena batang hidung balik. Relax guys Sen is still young, he still got long way to go. Lzj sendiri pun puji budak ni bagus. Can we just appreciate all athletes' effort and hardwork without bringing the others down? Duh.

Btw congratz Axelsen for your second AE title. Congratz also Lakhsya Sen, your defence was super crazy good !!

Can't wait to see more interesting men single match in the future !

[shahruladham]

Axelsen has change his playing style from an all out attacking play to a more patient yet attacking play

[Clarkie]

Congrats to Viktor for a fantastic tournament, Sen well be a star, very talented player, extremely fast with great defense.

[jatojo]

Not a single game lost in the entire tournament. Well done, Axelsen.

[sayangkucing]

Tahniah Alexsen atas kejayaan menjuarai All England 2022.. Buat L.sen pula anda masih muda dan teruskan memberi persembahan bertenaga.

[ADARSH-pgff]

3:43 What a World class defend by lakshay 🇮🇳

[attyryanabrenica]

LZJ took a lot from Sen in the semis. That game was exhausting physically and mentally. You can see that Sen has no desire/vigor to engage in long rallies with Viktor. I am not saying Sen would win if circumstances were different but he needed to be in perfect condition vs a player of Axelsen's caliber and championship experience to even have a chance or make the game competitive at least. Congratulations Viktor!!!

[strifeshinra]

when Axelson shows thumb-up to his coach at 1:45 even though he lost that point...
he knew he made Sen drain his stamina for that point
that's the difference between this 2 players

[jurjitsingh]

Axelsen's smash omg, so powerful and curve perfectly
