SAARBRUCKEN (GERMANY), Oct 26: Defending champion Lakshya Sen will be aiming to recover from the setback of an early exit from Denmark Open when he takes the court to defend the SaarLorLux Open Super 100 title, beginning here on Tuesday.
The 19-year-old from Almora suffered a second-round loss to experienced Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus at the Denmark Open Super 750 tournament earlier this month. However, a week of training at Peter Gade Academy after the Denmark Open must have done a world of good to the young Indian shuttler.
Lakshya, who claimed five titles in the senior circuit last year including two BWF World Tour Super 100 top honours � SaarLorLux Open and Dutch Open, received a bye in the opening round. He will open his campaign against the winner of the first-round match between USA�s Howard Shu and Italian Fabio Caponio. � PTI
