Kevin Cordon, Lakshya Sen's Group L opponent, has withdrawn from Paris 2024    due to an elbow injury.  

Sen's win from yesterday has been cancelled out and won't be counted in group standings.  He now needs to win both his remaining matches.

Bad and unfair for  Lakshya Sen as he had to exhaust energy for his hard fought win against Kevin Cordon. And the others in the group play a match less

Last Olympic winners  Wang Chi Lin/ Lee Yang after being not really good in the circuit for the last 3 years win against 2021 World Champions Hoki/Kobayashi and no 2 seeds  Kim/Anders in consecutive matches in the group of death. 

Talk about peaking at the right moment!!

Unfortunately, Opti is injured and leaves the stadium in a wheelchair. It is very sad to win like this after that Toti dominating the first set, but it is still the first victory for Italian badminton at the Olympics.

Man, Opti is very unlucky: unable to play in Tokyo due to COVID and now got injured.

 

Hope he recovers soon

I was at the badminton yesterday and have to say it was my least favourite viewing experience so far. It was very distracting and hard to follow what was going on at times.

@Griff88 Do you know when will draw lots for mixed double knockout stage? By computer or by hand? Chinese fans are worried about it after Huang/Feng lost to Chen/Toh.
