Commonwealth Games champion Lakshya Sen suffered a straight game loss to Japan’s Kodai Naraoka in the men’s singles quarterfinal to bring down curtains on India’s campaign at the Denmark Open Super 750 tournament here.
Sen, a 2021 world championships bronze medallist, lost 17-21 12-21 to Naraoka, a bronze medallist at the 2018 Youth Olympics, in a lop-sided contest on Friday night.
The two have played thrice in international circuit with the Japanese winning twice. Interestingly, it was Sen, who had defeated him in the 2018 Youth Olympics semifinals, their last meeting.
The 21-year-old from Japan, however, proved to be a difficult customer on Friday as he produced a dominating performance to stay ahead for most part of the contest.
After opening a 5-2 lead, Naraoka jumped to a 13-9 advantage at one stage. Sen had grabbed a slender 15-14 lead but the Japanese quickly moved ahead to earn the bragging rights.
Things went further downhill for Sen in the second game as Naraoka led 5-1
