Awww.. Sen lost. Excuses? Lol
Must be this great tips eh.
Sorry to hear that mate. Lakshya is improving and has not won any major yet as of March 2022. Am talking about either S1000 or WC or OG. Maybe he will someday if he works hard enough am sure.
So, in order to beat Lakshya, you need to see the video which Viktor beat him in the AE 2022 final. Firstly, Sen is a defensive and stroke player. He hardly have any strong smashes. He is good in his drives, so avoid playing drive or parallel shots with him or giving him dangling shots to kill you. Most short players are good at this. His reflex is good meaning you cannot try to push fast shots to him, he is ready for you due to the fact that he is defensive. He is good in netting also, you need to push him to the back. Be patient.
He is fit. So, for all players who wants to beat him, you just need to grind him out to play simple shots to the 4 corners. You cannot afford to smash or drive him blindly. You will kill yourself making mistakes and giving him free points. Just do the normal strokes and kill when opportunity comes. Do not rush or slack playing him. This means you need to have a game or point plans to know when you are about to kill and ready for his returns immediately. You notice a lot of players lost to him because they rushed and this causes them to make unnecessary mistakes. If you are below 30 years old, you should be able to match his fitness to play safe shots. Don't get sucked in and over do the killing to tire yourself or make a fool of your self just like LKY (India open 2022), Antonsen and LZJ in AE2022. I am sure they learnt from this lost since they got stung before. Be a smart player. Viktor learnt it quickly after loosing to him in German Open. Or perhaps Viktor already knows how to handle him and not keen in small money German Open; thats why Viktor purposely lose to him to boost his confidence. Remember that Vitid beaten him in German Open final in 2022
