World championship bronze-medallist shuttler Lakshya Sen defeated Ayush Shetty in straight games to reach the men’s singles semifinals at the Australian Open Super 500 tournament on Friday.
The seventh-seeded Indian, who had previously beaten the 20-year-old Shetty at the same stage in the Hong Kong Open earlier this year, triumphed 23-21, 21-11, setting up a last-four clash against Chinese-Taipei’s Chou Tien Chen, the event’s second seed.
