Badminton News: Indian badminton player Lakshya Sen will train with Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medalist Viktor Axelsen of Denmark in May and June to prepare for the 2022 Commonwealth Games Championship.

The training program is divided into two phases, beginning with an eight-day session in Dubai from May 29 to June 5. Lakshya Sen and Viktor Axelsen will then head to the Indonesia Open World Tour Super 1000 at Istora Senayan Jakarta.

Axelsen, ranked 1 in the world, was the first seed at the Indonesia Open, while Sen, ranked ninth in the badminton world, was seeded in eighth.

The second phase of training will take place from June 19 to 26 at the Malaysia Training Center in Kuala Lumpur.

This will be the 20-year-old Sen’s second training session with former world champion Viktor Axelsen. The two had trained together in September last year in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Lakhya Sen had a string of impressive post-workout results, finishing second at the Dutch Open, third at the Hylo Open and winning a bronze medal at the World Championships.

The young Indian even beat Viktor Axelsen at the German Open in March but lost the last time out at the 2022 Thomas Cup in Bangkok, Thailand.

India, however, won their first Thomas Cup title, beating defending champions Indonesia in the final. Lakshya Sen defeated world number 6 Anthony Ginting in the first game.

Lakshya Sen is part of India’s 10-member badminton contingent for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, to be held from July 28 to August 8 in Birmingham, England.
