Commonwealth Games champion Lakshya Sen continued his impressive run, trouncing Danish Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus in straight games to progress to the men's singles second round at BWF World Championships in Tokyo on Monday.
India also registered twin wins in women's and mixed doubles competition on the opening day which saw B. Sai Praneeth bow out after losing in three games to world number 4 Chou Tien Chen of Chinese Taipei.
The 20-year-old Sen, who had returned with a bronze on his debut in Spain last year, prevailed 21-12 21-11 over an erratic Vittinghus in his opening match.
