India’s Lakshya Sen, the reigning Commonwealth Games champion, lost to Indonesia’s World No. 9 Jonatan Christie 12-21, 21-10, 15-21 in the men’s singles semi-finals of the All England Championships here on Saturday.


Christie will play fifth seed Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, who defeated Christo Popov of France 19-21, 21-5, 21-11. 


On Friday night, Sen displayed great mental resolve on his way to a stunning win over former champion Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia to progress to the semi-finals. 


The 22-year-old Indian, who had finished runner-up in the 2022 edition, produced good variations while attacking and kept fighting to outlast Lee 20-22, 21-16, 21-19 in an absorbing quarter-final that lasted 71 minutes. 

Meanwhile, World No. 1 Viktor Axelsen crashed out on Friday as Indonesian Ginting roared back to win their quarter-final 8-21, 21-18, 21-19.
