Lakshya Sen admitted that the semifinal match against Canada's Victor Lai, which lasted for one hour and 37 minutes, made it difficult for him to be at his absolute best in the final against Chinese Taipei's Chun-Yi.
Lakshya Sen endured over five hours on court in earlier rounds, and the gruelling schedule took its toll in the final.
Lakshya Sen had also reached the summit clash in 2022 and overcame Lai, despite battling blisters on his right toe, to register a 21-16, 18-21, 21-15 victory in a gruelling match that lasted one hour and 37 minutes.
