The very first point of the match was won by Lakshya Sen at Denmark. The first game was a comfortable win for the Indian. He was quick on his feet and crisp on his attack with swift follow up. He breezed past his French opponent 21-9 in the first game.

It was a turn of events in the second game. The 18-year old boy from France changed tactics. He went all out on attack and played tight net shots. The first half of the second game went neck to neck. Lakshya soon got his mind back on his “Lakshya” and fought back and got the score level at 12-12. Since then the Indian took control of the match and gave away just 3 points, winning the game 21-15.

Marin seemed to have made use of the lockdown to develop some deception in her game. Her on court speed was fabulous which was evident from her excellent attack and follow ups. The second set saw Marin lose focus. Too many errors came from her end. Natalia capitalized on them and picked up quite some points. Nevertheless Marin got back her rhythm and defeated Natalia Perminova 21-15 in the second game on day one of the Denmark Open 2020. It was a one sided encounter won by the Spaniard.
