Why playing World No 1 Shi Yuqi earlier in Round 1 rather than later, is better for Lakshya Sen
It's not unprecedented. Lee Chong Wei and even Viktor Axelsen have exited World Championships early as top seeds in last decade. But Shi Yuqi is on a hot streak of 3/3 Super 1000 titles this year, and 9/9 tournament finals since start of 2024. So, Indian badminton fans can be excused their morose mugs at the sight of the World No 1 drawn against Lakshya Sen in the Badminton World Championship draw. It's a depressed fan base, long-suffering since Paris Olympics, and prone to dunking own players at slightest hints of Top 10 opponents lining up early. Sen, however, has no such luxuries to sit and mope. And all things considered Round 1 might be the best time to go up against the toughest opponent in the draw. Shi Yuqi is not ideal to face in the first round, but when dreaming of a World Championship medal, isn't having to beat big names inevitable? It's how India won its last medal – Prannoy playing a masterfully strategic game, plotted by Pullela Gopichand and Gurusaidutt, to down Viktor 'The Axelsen' at home in Copenhagen in 2023. Ask Sindhu, Saina, Sai Praneeth, Srikanth or Satwik-Chirag, and they will reel off all the 'big names' they roiled against, ro earn their medals. For Sen – there's Shi Yuqi, and hopefully Christo Popov, Alex Lanier and Li Shifeng, though plenty hinges on how his back, shoulder hold up and what Sen's stamina reserves, are at. Go back a year, and there was similar mourning and muttering over Lakshya Sen's Olympic draw. He was placed in a group where he had to play an extra match, and which had Indonesian Jonatan Christie, at that point, looking good for a podium, if not gold. Jojo had beaten Sen the last couple of times, and would start as favourite. But it was some steely nerves and a pinpoint tactical game that helped the Indian get past the Indonesian, top the pool and get out of the group. But even before the draw, Anders Antonsen had made a pertinent point: he said Sen was a dangerous floater that everyone wanted to avoid early, and Christie felt the KO punches, as did Chou Tien Chen later. Sen's meltdowns against Viktor Axelsen and Lee Zii Jia which denied him a medal, deserve a separate piece. Not so much the tactics (though those can be threadbared in hindsight), but his inability to summon a certain kind of heavyweight game, when smashing or killing at the net, at the business end in Paris, and letting himself down psychologically, cost Sen those matches. But early in a tournament, when he was not tired in the mind, and fresh and motivated, Sen could snatch momentum away from Christie, a clear favourite. It's why playing Shi Yuqi – if he must, and he needs to – is a better proposition in Round 1 than in quarters, with a medal on the line. Let's call it the best of the worst-case scenarios. Sen is prone to over-training, putting inordinate pressure on his back and shoulder in needlessly rough training sessions, and exerting in the gym more than some think he ought to. He does this to be best prepared. But the back can backfire. He goes into the Paris Worlds with a massive hit on his confidence after the Olympics and first round exits on Tour, but as any coach would tell him, there's literally nothing to do about past disappointments. Yuqi is no slam-bang, impetuous hitter – but neither was Jojo. But the Chinese' vulnerability – the tiniest one – might be his eagerness to win a World title, which he hasn't all these years, but can this time. With Viktor Axelsen having pulled out, everyone will have breathed a sigh of relief, but Yuqi will be under some pressure to make that count, so having the devilishly disruptive Sen across the net, might be equally unpleasant for him, as his visage and elegant game will be for Sen. All of Kodai Naraoka, Loh Kean Yew, Li Shifeng and Alex Lanier are bunched in Sen's half, so it's going to be one painful ride if he gets past Yuqi to run into aggressive playing styles that he struggles against. But a badminton World Championship medal never came easy to anyone. The bitter-better, clutching-at-straws way of looking at things might be to glance at the draw, and thank the heavens for Kunlavut Vitidsarn for being in the other half. There's a similar toughening-up brief to be delivered to Satwik-Chirag. Satwik woke up on his birthday on Wednesday and was gifted Liang Weikeng-Wang Chang in Round of 16, and Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik potentially if they get past the Thais, in quarters. The Indians tend to start well these days, and should back themselves against the Chinese first up. The results aren't dizzying great, but the game is far more prepared for what Liang-Wang can throw at them. If the shoulders are alright, the Indians ought to think of Paris before the Olympic disappointment, when it was their favourite venue, where they won their last title. Aaron-Soh are fantastic players, but not unbeatable by the Indians. Luck can have its way with them, but even on a downturn, Satwik-Chirag make tournament semis, and can play the big game at will. Form book says India could end up with a second straight wretched August at Paris, and no medal for first time since 2010. But there's scores to settle with Paris, redemption arcs to traverse, and miles to go before Indian fans turn crabby.

'Saare jo musalman hai duniya ke...' - Irfan Pathan exposes Pakistan's hypocrisy
Navi Mumbai: India Masters Irfan Pathan celebrates the wicket of Sri Lanka Masters Lahiru Thirimanne during an International Masters League 2025 cricket match between India Masters and Sri Lanka Masters, at D Y Patil Sports Stadium, in Navi Mumbai. (PTI Photo/Kunal Patil) Former India allrounder Irfan Pathan has launched a scathing attack on Pakistan, accusing them of acting like self-appointed guardians of Muslims worldwide. Speaking candidly, Pathan said it was a 'misconception' that Pakistan carried the responsibility of all Muslims, urging them to focus on their own issues first — a sentiment he admitted feeling at a personal level. " Ek toh Pakistaniyo ko na ye lagta hai ki saare jo musalman hai duniya ke unki jo zimmedaari hai unhone le rakhi hai (One thing about Pakistanis is that they feel as if they've taken responsibility for all the Muslims in the world)," Pathan told The Lallantop.

Jo mujhe lagta hai yaar thoda thehro, apne aap pe thoda phle dhyan do (What I feel is — hold on a bit, first focus on yourselves)." "I've felt this at a personal level." Pathan also opened up about his long-standing on-field rivalry with Pakistan's Shahid Afridi, recalling both the personal barbs and the cricketing battles that defined their encounters. The former India allrounder, who enjoyed immense success against Pakistan in his career — taking 67 wickets and scoring 807 runs, including a century — dismissed Afridi 11 times across formats, including for a golden duck in the 2007 T20 World Cup final. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Only Classless Women Wear these Over a Certain Age Learn More Undo 'Dismissed him 11 times. I have a different kind of fight with him [Afridi] because when I was new and young in the team, there was an interview of Afridi with Harsha Bhogle,' Pathan said. 'Afridi had said, 'I am the real Pathan, he is a fake Pathan'. Badtameez aadmi hai (He is an ill-mannered man). Mujhe laga ki aap sirf mere baare mein nahi bol rahe ho, mere waalid ke baare mein bhi baat kar rahe (I felt he wasn't just talking about me but also about my father, which he shouldn't have done).' Pathan admitted the comment fueled his determination whenever he bowled to Afridi. ' Toh jab jab mere haath mein ball tha, mere jahan mein yeh tha ki isko toh main out kar dunga (So whenever I had the ball in my hand, my only thought was that I would dismiss him). Maine out karke usko gyara baar bata chuka hoon ki asli Pathan kaun hai (By dismissing him 11 times, I've shown him who the real Pathan is). Bade bade maukon mein out kiya hai — series decider mein, World Cup final mein (I got him out on big occasions — in a series decider, in a World Cup final),' he added.

Ligue 1: Monaco Down Le Havre As Paul Pogba Watches From Sidelines, Lyon Edge Out Lens
Last Updated: An own goal from Guatier Lloris and strikes from Eric Dier and Maghnes Akliouche helped Monaco to a 3-1 win over Le Havre. AS Monaco picked up a 3-1 win over Le Havre in their season-opening Ligue 1 fixture on Saturday at the Louis II Stadium as new recruit Paul Pogba watched on from the stands. Elsewhere, Lyon got the better of RC Lens on the road to begin their season in positive fashion. Monaco were put ahead by Le Havre keeper Guatier Lloris, before Eric Dier doubled his side's tally in the 61st minute. Rassoul Ndiaye cut Havre's deficit in half with a goal in the 67th minute, but Maghnes Akliouche's strike seven minutes later assured the side from the principality of Monaco a win. Sporting a vintage Monaco jersey, and a cap, Pogba watched as his team quickly dominated an outclassed Le Havre after the midfielder signed a two-year contract with Monaco from Juventus this summer, aiming to revive his career in France. The former Manchester United player had only made 12 appearances in the last three seasons due to injuries, suspension, and an extortion case where he was the victim. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Pogba in a Monaco jersey, along with Guinea-Bissau forward Ansu Fati, another major summer signing for the club. Georges Mikautadze's lone strike proved to be the difference between Lyon and Lens in Northern France. Lyon triumphed over their former coach Pierre Sage, who now leads Lens after Will Still's departure. Financially restricted for summer signings, Lyon found success with its existing squad, including strikers Malick Fofana and Mikautadze, and midfield stalwart Corentin Tolisso, who worked well together. Fofana skillfully navigated the Lens defence, breaking through at the end of the first half to provide an ideal cross for Mikautadze. Despite 18 shots on goal, Lens couldn't capitalize, with Wesley Said and Deiver Machado both missing numerous chances. New recruit Florian Thauvin came off the bench for Lens after 57 minutes to enthusiastic applause from the home fans, but despite adding creativity and freshness, the World Cup winner couldn't make a difference. Four days after being eliminated in the Champions League qualifying round by Benfica, Nice once again displayed shortcomings in a 1-0 defeat at home to Toulouse, with Djibril Sidibe scoring one minute before the final whistle. view comments First Published: August 17, 2025, 08:58 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
