Badminton, men's singles: Lakshya Sen....take a bow! He trailed 6-11 at the mid-game interval, was then down 10-16 and had to save four game points at 16-20. But, the Indian remains unfazed. He goes on a six-point spree to close off the second game 22-20.
Sen starts his campaign with a 21-8, 22-20 against Kevin Cordon in 42 minutes.
Table Tennis, men’s singles: Easy as you like it for Harmeet Desai. The Indian did not need to kick it up a notch even though Zaid Abo Yaman began strongly. After he lost the first two games, the fight was out of the Jordanian as Desai cruised to a 11-7, 11-9, 11-5, 11-5 win. Desai is rewarded with a round of 64 match against third seed 17-year-old Frenchman Felix Lebrun.
Table Tennis, men’s singles: The fight has gone out of Abo Yaman in the third game as Desai races to an 8-3 lead. The Jordanian has a resigned look on his face and Desai closes out the third game 11-5.
Badminton, men's singles: Good turnaround this from Kevin Cordon. With Lakshya Sen struggling to counter the drift from the near end of the court, the Gautemalan has taken an 11-6 five-point lead at the mid-game interval. Sen is not making it easy...
