Paris Olympics: Lakshya told where he went wrong after losing against Axelsen, said this about the bronze medal match

Indian badminton player Lakshya Sen lost the men's singles semi-final match against Denmark's Viktor Axelsen. Lakshya had started the match brilliantly, but Axelsen dominated this Indian player in both games and he defeated Lakshya 22-20, 21-14 to enter the final. After the match, Lakshya said that he needed to play a little cautiously.

Even though Lakshya was out of the semi-finals and could not qualify for the final, he still had a chance to win the bronze medal. Lakshya is the first Indian men's singles player to have played the semi-final match of the Olympics. He had a chance to secure a medal for India by winning this match, but he could not do so. Now Lakshya will play for the bronze medal. Lakshya will face seventh-seeded Jia Ji Lee of Malaysia for the bronze medal. Both players will compete for bronze on Monday.

Lakshya said after the match against Axelsen, it was a big match, but I had to play a little cautiously. I started well in the second game and took the lead, but could not maintain it. The way the game was going from the beginning, Axelsen was playing aggressively and I was playing defensively. I think I should have played attackingly. Now I will put in all my effort for the bronze medal. I have a lot of expectations from this match. The audience encouraged me a lot and my parents were also there, so I had courage. I hope that the support I got in this match, will be the same from the audience on Monday when I will play for the bronze medal.
