Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the much-awaited semi-final meeting between Lakshya Sen and Kidambi Srikanth, both of whom are assured a medal in the ongoing BWF World Championships in Huelva, Spain. The winner of this game will then compete against the winner of the other men's singles semi-final Anders Antonsen and Loh Kean Yew in the gold medal match on Sunday.
Preview: India, on Friday, were assured of two medals at the ongoing BWF World Championships 2021 in Huelva, Spain after ace shuttler Kidambi Srikanth and young Lakshya Sen advanced to the semi-finals of the tournament, eventually setting up what promises to be a thrilling all-Indian last four clash between the duo.
However, it was the end of PV Sindhu’s campaign as she failed to defend the title she won in 2019, losing to Tai Tzu Ying 17-21, 13-21 in the quarter-finals.
