Lakshya Sen's road to Bronze medal match:
Despite a strong effort, the 22-year-old Indian shuttler lost 20-22, 14-21 to the current champion, Viktor Axelsen. He has already created history by becoming the first male Indian shuttler to go to the Summer Games semi-finals. He will also be the first male badminton player from India to step onto an Olympic podium if he wins a medal.
Sen defeated Jonatan Christie and Julien Carregi in the group stage and also prevailed over Kevin Cordon, who subsequently withdrew from their match citing an injury. Sen's remarkable victory over Chou Tien-Chen, which came after his surprising victory over H.S. Prannoy in the Round of 16, propelled him to the semi-finals.
