Malaysia Open: Lakshya Sen suffers shock first round exit, loses to Chi Yu-jen

India Today  

An inconsistent Lakshya Sen suffered a shock exit in the first round of the Malaysia Open 2025 on Tuesday, January 7. Lakshya, fresh off a title win at the Syed Modi International in Lucknow and a third-place finish at the King Cup International, struggled to maintain his form and fell to Chi Yu-jen of Chinese Taipei in straight games, 14-21, 7-21. However, Yu Jen capitalised on a crucial cross-court smash during a long rally and entered the mid-game interval with a three-point lead at 11-8, helped by a misjudgement from Lakshya. A netted shot from Lakshya handed his opponent 13 match points, and Yu Jen clinched the victory with a decisive cross-court smash.
