Despite winning the first game, Sen failed to close out the match and fell to a 21-13, 17-21, 13-21 loss to exit the Thailand Open 2023.
WR 23, Sen was eyeing his first BWF World Tour final since reaching the All England Open title clash last year. But the defeat means he now trails Thailand’s Vitidsarn 5-3 in the head-to-head records.
